ManvsMini Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Time for answers for Round 5: Question 31: What country (excluding the current Games) leads in all Winter Olympic medal categories? Answer: Spoiler Norway. 132 gold, 125 silver, 111 bronze = 368 total at the conclusion of the 2018 Games. Question 32: Which British pop group did the 1997 Generation Next Pepsi commercial campaign? Answer: Spoiler Spice Girls. Still remember the commercials. Though now I'd say I'm more of a Sporty Spice fan, age has made me appreciate a woman in comfortable footwear. Question 33: Which novel did Herman Melville dedicate to Nathaniel Hawthorne? Answer: Spoiler Moby Dick. The two met in 1850, living close to each other and engaged in conversation throughout the next year while Melville wrote his work. Question 34: Fight Club had it's original ending edited recently in which country? Answer: Spoiler China. ***spoiler if you haven't seen the movie*** The original ending had Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter's characters watching as the explosives go off destroying high-rise buildings. Now, before the bombs go off, the streaming version in China cuts to text stating that the authorities were able to prevent the plot and arrested all involved. Question 35: Mesopotamia means what in Ancient Greek? Answer: Spoiler "Between rivers" or "between two rivers" or "land between rivers." Anything involving between some rivers is an acceptable answer. Question 36: How many milliliters in one cubic centimeter? Answer: Spoiler One. They are equivalent, and both are units of volume in SI units. You now know that on your medical dramas when they say "Give me 2 cc's of _____" they mean cubic centimeters or milliliters. Question 37: Lateral curvature of the spine is called what? Answer: Spoiler Scoliosis. Lateral curvature would mean bending either left or right of center, and there are other names for forward or backward curvature. Ok, seven more questions means seven points possible for the round. So max possible points currently is 40. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
