ManvsMini Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Answers for the round. Question 339: How many pockets are there on a snooker table? Answer: Spoiler Six. Same number as in pool, except the table is bigger, and the rules are much different. Question 340: What cooking fuel is produced by heating wood with minimal oxygen? Answer: Spoiler Charcoal. The absence of oxygen while heating the wood allows for water and other volatile impurities to be removed; thus, when the finished charcoal is burned, it burns at a higher temperature and gives off very little smoke. Question 341: In 2000, which artist(s) tied Michael Jackson's 1984 record of winning eight Grammys in a single year? Answer: Spoiler Santana. They won: Record of the Year Album of the Year Song of the Year Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals Best Pop Instrumental Performance Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal Best Rock Instrumental Performance Take that, Taylor Swift. Question 342: In Die Hard how does John McClane signal officer Powell that something is wrong at Nakatomi Plaza? Answer: Spoiler He drops a dead body on his squad car. Yippee-kai-yay! Question 343: What is the term used for the science of growing fruit? Answer: Spoiler Pomology. From the Latin pomum ("fruit"). Question 344: In which country is the alcoholic beverage "pulque" consumed? Answer: Spoiler Mexico, traditionally the central area. It is made by fermenting the sap of the maguey (agave) plant. It looks like milk, is fairly thick/viscous with a light foam, and a sour yeast-like taste. It dates back over 1000 years, to the Mesoamerican period. By contrast, tequila is made from the whole of the blue agave plant. Question 345: What kind of man-eating monster did Odysseus blind? Answer: Spoiler A cyclops, named Polyphemus. Notably not one of the three Cyclopes that forged Zeus' thunderbolt. We've come this far, why break with our standard? Seven questions, seven points in total. 353 possible points at this point in the year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
