ManvsMini Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Time got away from me today, the answer post for the week's questions will come later on Monday. Here's a question to tide you over until then (and will be a part of the next round of questions). Question 311: Category: Zoology What's the actual term for a leopard's spots? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManvsMini Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Answer post for questions 304-310. Question 304: What is the tallest free-standing mountain in the world? Answer: Spoiler Mount Kilimanjaro. While not the tallest mountain in the world, it is not part of a mountain range, which makes it the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. It is also the tallest mountain in Africa. Question 305: Where is the only royal palace in the United States located? Answer: Spoiler In Hawaii. `Iolani Palace is the only official royal residence on United States soil, having been used by the rulers of the Kingdom of Hawai'i until the collapse of the monarchy in 1893. Question 306: What does the "J." stand for in actor Michael J. Fox's name? Answer: Spoiler Absolutely nothing. Born Michael Andrew Fox, and first being credited as Michael Fox, he required a unique name for Screen Actors Guild membership, but discovered that "Michael Fox" was already taken by another actor. Fearing "Michael A. Fox" sounded too much like the Canadian "Eh" interjection (as he hails from Canada), he settled on using "J" instead. Question 307: How many pips/dots are there on a common six-sided die? Answer: Spoiler 21. You could look at a six-sided die and count the pips, or simply add the sum of each sides value: 6+5+4+3+2+1=21 Question 308: Which espresso drink is named for a religious order? Answer: Spoiler Cappuccino. The name comes from the order of Capuchin friars. A form of the Italian word cappuccio ("hood"), it refers not to the actual hoods worn by the friars, but to the actual color of the hood, which is a red-brown. Question 309: What informal group of writers were J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis part of in Oxford? Answer: Spoiler The Inklings. They were literary enthusiasts who encouraged the writing of fantasy and the value of narrative fiction. Question 310: What vehicles are raced annually in Venice's Regata Storica Festival? Answer: Spoiler Gondolas. Takes place on the first Sunday in September. Ok, there's the answers and it is our usual routine of 7 and 7 (one point per question). That brings the total possible currently to 318. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 4 correct. Total 169 points. I was certain that Mauna Kea was the tallest. The "free-standing" threw me off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
