Trivia Time !
 

Things have been a little bit slow on the boards lately so I wanted to start something up we can really get into. This has been done countless times I know, but its always fun and involving.

The Rules : None really. Just post a question. The question can be about any subject matter , Polotics, video games, sports, art, anime you name it. No multiple choice though, because then people end up taking guesses that waste alot of time with wrong asnwers. And use your judgement, we dont want questions that are too hard...or too easy. Also..if it is somewhat of a difficult question you can list a clue at the end. Not too vague..but not a give away either. When a question is answered, the person who posted the question must reply ASAP and say correct, or incorrect. It will continue accordingly. If an incorrect guess is made the question remains. If someone ansers a question correctly, after it is confirmed by the asker of that question, they (The one who ansered it) may ask the next question.

Note : I was thinking we could allow points for each correct anser. Just 5pts to each person everytime they get a right answer. Each time an incorrect anser is made, the points go up by 5. So after the first wrong anser, it becomes a ten point question. After that....a fifteen point question, and so on. Things are always better when its slightly competative. We could each keep track of our own scores considering were all pretty honest with eachother here. I think it would be easy to pull off, and hopefully fun. Ill start (Try and use the following format for questions

Subject : History

Question : The Renaissance began in which country ?

Clue : None

My Points : 0

Yeah, somewhere in the 14th century???

My question:

What feature of the tetranucleotide theory made biochemists and geneticists dismiss DNA as a possible basis for the chemistry of genes?

Subject : History

Question : What are some of the key elements in renaissance art?

clue : none

my points : 0

Hmmm..allready its gone hay wire. Perhaps I didnt explain it well enough. Hylas answered the question . Then she waits for me (The person who asked to say she was correct. And she was, so now she has earned the right to ask the next question. Go ahead Hylas. (Sorry Berserker, if you were confused)

Ok Hylas go ahead

Gautama was born in Nepal .......i think..?

Ok here it goes...

Subject: Music

Question: What's the name of the first album of Him?


Clue: none


My points:5

That's incorrect..

:nono:
try again...

Ok Heres my guess. Im probably wrong but here I go. Is it Deep Shadows & Brilliant Highlights?

Just a reminder, if REchick is right she earns 10pts. That of course because its allready beeen answered incorrectly, and each time its answered incorrectly the point value increases by 5. I hope im not going overboard with the points, just thought it would add some competative interest

I myself havent the slitest idea what the answer is :confused:

I'm really sorry but thats incorrect...

Try again..

That is the third album not the first.

Is it Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 ?

Yes thats the correct answer, 15 points for you right?
And it's you to post a question right?

Ahhh..good. I wasnt quite sure if I was correct or not, had to look that one up (Didnt even know of the band sence they arent big here in the States)

Subject : Television

Question : In the original Power Rangers TV series. What color Ranger was Billy and what was the name of his Zord ?

Clue : His color is my favorite, and the zord is named after a dinosaur

My Points : 15

Ok
Billy was the blue one,that i'm sure; and the zord was Triceratops Dinozord...?I'm nõt sure of the zord because they all had more than one zord so....

By the way HIM in the US are called HIM-HER,if you want to know more about them look for that name .

I tried to delete this post, I dont know why it put up 2 of them. And it wont delete either..strange

Ding Ding Ding..we have a winner. You were right on both fronts and have earned the right to ask the next 5pt question (I dont think they had more than one zord a piece in the original series, but I could be wrong i suppose)

Here are the current standings (Ill post em now and then just for the heck of it)

1. Vicious_2003- 15pts

2. Eli- 10pts

3. Hylas- 5pts

I know Lethal Weapon 4 was his first Movie in the United States. I havent the foggiest as to what his VERY first movie was. Good question. This isnt a guess though because im answering a different question, the point value doesent increase due to this post .

No thats incorrect..

Ok, heres what were gonna do. I think both Xxavierr and Red should get 15 points, sence they were both right . And Red can ask the next question sence XXavierr said he could, and sence he asnwered it correctly first. Your turn RED ask away . (Just trying to be fair)
