ManvsMini Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 This week's answers: Question 290: How many syllables are there in Japanese haiku? Answer: Spoiler 17 Question 291: Which chemical element gets its name from the Greek for "violet-colored"? Answer: Spoiler Iodine. As a solid it is lustrous gray in color, as a liquid it is deep violet/near black, and as a gas it is distinctly violet, and from its vapor color was the name suggested. Question 292: What number does the Roman numeral LXXX denote? Answer: Spoiler 80. L denotes 50, and each X means ten. When a Roman numeral is placed after another Roman numeral of greater value, the result is the sum of the numerals. When certain numerals are repeated, the number represented by them is their sum. Using this highly-simplified lesson, we therefore have 50+10+10+10= 80. Question 293: What African landmark has a local name that means "The Smoke That Thunders"? Answer: Spoiler Victoria Falls. The Kalolo-Lozi tribe that was living in the area in the 1800s called it "Mosi-oa-Tunya," or The Smoke that Thunders. Question 294: What Egyptian object is also known as "the key to life"? Answer: Spoiler The ankh. The cross symbol with a teardrop-shaped loop at the top of it, it was often depicted in ancient hieroglyphics as a symbol for life. Question 295: What was Henry Ford’s original design for a car called? Answer: Spoiler Quadricycle. In 1896, Ford's first design had four bicycle wheels, with the engine driving the rear wheels. Nowadays, depending on where you are in the world, it can mean any vehicle with four wheels, or can be its own class of vehicle separate from automobiles depending on a nation's restrictions. Question 296: Which of Henry VIII's six wives was the only one to bear him a legitimate, surviving son? Answer: Spoiler Jane Seymour. Henry's third wife, she died of postnatal complications after giving birth to the future King Edward VI. Seven questions and seven points in total.
