ManvsMini Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Time for answers: Question 52: Snap-on charms that fit in "Crocs"? Answer: Spoiler Jibbitz. The holes were meant for ventilation and moisture control, then someone decided to bling them out. Question 53: Historical region Bohemia is in what present-day country? Answer: Spoiler Czech Republic, or Czechia as it is also known. Question 54: How many pi and sigma bonds are in a triple bond? Answer: Spoiler Two pi bonds and one sigma bond. Question 55: Only bird that can fly backwards for a sustained length of time? Answer: Spoiler The hummingbird. While other birds can briefly or appear to move backwards, the hummingbird's wing-joint structure allows it to rotate to freely move backwards. Question 56: Indonesia holds which capital city? Answer: Spoiler Jakarta. Though it will eventually change. The government announced a capital transfer to a new city to be built named Nusantara. Question 57: Storyteller of One Thousand and One Nights? Answer: Spoiler Scheherazade. Within the framework of the tales, she is recounting them to her new husband, the monarch, to delay her execution the following morning by telling half of a tale each night, finishing it the next night, and beginning a new tale. Question 58: Major export of Bangladesh used to make sacking? Answer: Spoiler Jute. It's a bast fiber, collected from the "skin" of the plant, used to make burlap. Ok, seven questions at one point each, so again seven points for the round. Current possible total is 61. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManvsMini Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Question 64: Category: Archipelagos What is the name of the group of almost 1,200 islands in the North Indian Ocean, of which only ~200 are inhabited? EDIT: Since I'm switching to night shifts at work, timing for posting questions will change a bit. There will still be a question each day. And posting of answers will probably happen on either Sundays nights or Monday mornings. I'll know more after I've worked a couple weeks on the new schedule.
