Anyone have a Trivia Quiz?
Here's the place for a Music Quiz.
Thank you Rick: Maybe Kelly or Chia will post a music quiz before long?
Rick: That's Chia's specialty . . I'll send her an email and let her know the door is open! :thumbup:

Thank you Rick: Maybe Kelly or Chia will post a music quiz before long?
You could do one ::)
Hi Rammel
I hopefully will have a quiz late tonight UK time or tomorrow.
Thanks for the new boards.
Kelly
Hi Rammel
Thank you
Kelly
Hi Marilyne
I am working on a slightly different music quiz, fun though I think.
Kelly
I am looking forward to the challenge - if internet stays connected. Today it is giving me fits!
Hi Bubble
I will do my best!
Kelly
we shall see what the best is!
Hi Bubble
A little better than my worst! :)
Kelly
If it is worst I may not be able to answer
Hi Bubble
I think you will be able to answer.
Kelly
A Simple Quiz
Please for now, one answer per person.
1. Where is the Panama Canal?
2. Whose design is credited for the first windmill?
3. What are Bleeding Hearts?
4. Why did men originally shake hands?
5. What is the Equator and its purpose?
6. What is the Jib's purpose?
7. Give me a simple explanation for string theory.
8. What is a ventricle and why is it important?
9. What damage did the TV show, Lassie do to the Collie breed?
10. Is Asia in the Northern hemisphere?
#2 DaVinci
Sorry, try again....but good guess!
#9: What damage did the TV show, Lassie do to the Collie breed?
Maybe encouraged overbreeding, which then caused health problems and genetic flaws?
#3 Bleeding Hearts is a climbing vine plant with flowers that are kind of shaped like a heart.
JOY
Thank you Joy, you are right.
Hi Angel
Question 1
Not sure this is the answer you want.
The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The canal is on the Isthmus of Panama that goes between the Caribeean Sea and the Pacific ocean.
Kelly
You are right Marilyne.The worst issue was breeding to get a dog looking like the one on television. Although inbreeding and overbreeding for the distinctive Lassie markings â€" the white blazes and four white feet â€" certainly didn’t help collies, at least the collie was, and is, a gentle dog, with a good family disposition. To have the dog look like the larger dog on TV, the brain cavity was lessened, actually making the dog less intelligent and less able to learn or remember. This did not effect the border collie.
Kelly, I had, "The Panama Canal extends across the Isthmus of Panama from Colon on the Atlantic Ocean (Caribbean Sea) side, to Balboa and the Pacific Ocean." But I agree yours is also correct and its better than my first reaction upon seeing the question elsewhere, was "In Panama"? :coolsmiley: ::)
Hi angel
Thank you
Kelly
Continuing;
2. Whose design is credited for the first windmill?
4. Why did men orignally shake hands?
5. What is the Equator and its purpose?
6. What is the Jib's purpose?
7. Give me a simple explanation for string theory.
8. What is a ventricle and why is it important?
10. Is Asia in the Northern hemisphere?
#4. Men shook hands to show that they had no weapons
You are correct Andie. It also derived from an older custom of warriors gripping each others forearms. This greeting dates back at least as far as Ancient Greece. ... in Berlin, a funeral stone from the 5th century BC depicts two soldiers shaking hands.
Continuing;
2. Whose design is credited for the first windmill?
5. What is the Equator and its purpose?
6. What is the Jib's purpose?
7. Give me a simple explanation for string theory.
8. What is a ventricle and why is it important?
10. Is Asia in the Northern hemisphere?
5. What is the Equator and its purpose?
The Equator separates the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere and keeps the widest part of the Earth from bursting due to centrifugal force. It's made of nylon and is very strong.
Now that Rick, was a hole in one! ;D I had "An equator is an imaginary line around the middle of a planet or other celestial body. It is halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole, at 0 degrees latitude. An equator divides the planet into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere. The Earth is widest at its Equator."
But yours is so much better!
2. Whose design is credited for the first windmill?
6. What is the Jib's purpose?
7. Give me a simple explanation for string theory.
8. What is a ventricle and why is it important?
10. Is Asia in the Northern hemisphere?
A JIB is the support for a sail (I think, maybe, perhaps a foresail)
#7: Ventricles are part of the the heart's circulation system
Jane, not quite the answer I'm looking for, can you delve a bit deeper?
What is the Jib's purpose?
Don, this is the full question.
What is a ventricle and why is it important?
Hi angel
Are we still on one answer each.
Kelly
Kelly I wanted to give the night crew a chance as well such as Bubble.
Quote from: angelface555 on April 04, 2016, 08:08:01 PM
Don, this is the full question.
What is a ventricle and why is it important?
After this is answered, see -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Heart_diagram-en.svg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Heart_diagram-en.svg)
An interesting image.
Hi angel
Good thinking
Kelly
Nope! no more answer. I got that much out of my head from movies and books. I think it has something to do with more speed or keeping the course. I guess someone can take this one from me.
The ventricle is one of 2 upper cavities or chambers in the heart and it helps pump the blood to the lungs for one or back for the other.
:thumbup: Yes! You've got it!
Now each person can try one more each.
2. Whose design is credited for the first windmill?
6. What is the Jib's purpose?
7. Give me a simple explanation for string theory.
10. Is Asia in the Northern hemisphere?
A jib is a triangular sail that can swing to catch the wind.
It can also be a device with a counter weight to the camera that make it swing up and down or sideways.
I don't know which you meant!
Hi angel
Question 10
I think yes is the answer.
Though parts of Indonesia lie in the Eastern hemisphere.
So it could be said parts of Asia lie in both the Northern and Eastern hemispheres.
Kelly
Bubble you are correct with the sail answer. Thank you! Generally, a jib's most crucial function is as an airfoil, increasing performance and overall stability by reducing turbulence on the main sail's leeward side.
Kelly you are also correct!
The equator or the 0 degrees latitude divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Large parts of Asia lie to the north of the equator. The Prime meridian or 0 degrees longitude divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western hemispheres. Asia lies to the east of the Prime meridian. The density of population in Asia is high. Asia has 48 countries and two countries, Russia and Turkey, lie in Europe too. China and India, two of the most populated countries, lie in Asia.
Finishing this quiz;
2. Whose design is credited for the first windmill?
7. Give me a simple explanation for string theory.
#2: the windmill? Would be either Greece or China? I'll go with the Greek - Heron of Alexandria?
You're close Marilyne, but no cigar as yet.
Close? That must mean the country is China, or maybe Holland?
I'll do a little research and return later. :D
I was thinking of Mesopotamia. Maybe that is too early.
Hi Angel
I thought the windmill design was by Leonardi Di Vinci
Kelly
The more modern one/mechanical was, Kelly.
Question
String theory
Was it to combine the four fundamental known interactions. Being gravitation, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, week nuclear force into one theory
Kelly
such a complex theory that is hard to resume in a few words.
Bubble you are also close but not quite there.
no Kelly....think simple.
bubble, basic or simple....
Hi angel
That is what Albert Einstien was trying to do. I think he was trying to have a Theory of Everything (TOE)
Kelly
Unless you mean the Big Bang Theory
Kelly
There is a very simple explanation of string theory. I have 9:04 am and I will give everyone a little over an hour before I will close this quiz and give Kelly or someone else a turn.
Hi angel
Hopefully I will have a quiz ready in about seven hours time.
Kelly
Hope is the stuff of life...
Hi angel
Question 2
Was it the Babylonian Emperor Hammurabi in the seventeenth century BCE who planned to use wind power for his irrigation project.
Kelly
String theory
Are clothes are made of string. A spiders web is made of string.
In other words everything in some shape or form
Is made of string.
Kelly
Just like the DNA
#2. Whose design is credited for the first windmill?
The first windmills were developed to automate the tasks of grain-grinding and water-pumping and the earliest-known design is the vertical axis system developed in Persia about 500-900 A.D. The first use was apparently water pumping, but the exact method of water transport is not known because no drawings or designs -- only verbal accounts -- are available. The first known documented design is also of a Persian windmill, this one with vertical sails made of bundles of reeds or wood which were attached to the central vertical shaft by horizontal struts.
Extra;
Vertical-axis windmills were also used in China, which is often claimed as their birthplace. While the belief that the windmill was invented in China more than 2000 years ago is widespread, the earliest actual documentation of a Chinese windmill was in 1219 A.D. by the Chinese statesman Yehlu Chhu-Tshai. Here also, the primary applications were apparently grain grinding and water pumping.
#7. Give me a simple explanation for string theory.
String theory originated as an attempt to describe the interactions of particles such as protons. It has since developed into something much more ambitious: an approach to the construction of a complete unified theory of all fundamental particles and forces.
Extra;
Previous attempts to unify physics have had trouble incorporating gravity with the other forces. String theory not only embraces gravity but requires it. String theory also requires six or seven extra dimensions of space, and it contains ways of relating large extra dimensions to small ones. The study of string theory has also led to the concept of supersymmetry, which would double the number of elementary particles.
I wonder why the Dusty Springfield song, "The Windmills of My Mind", is running through my head? :idiot2:
Thank you Angelface, for a good quiz. Difficult but fun!
string is too hard at this time of night!
Thanks for the challenge. It was good after such a long pause.
Thanks Marilyne! I always liked Dusty Springfield. Remember Son of a Preacherman?

Kelly
Kelly, years ago when I was in college, I worked for Media Services as a production assistant. One of my duties was to run the two projectors during movie nights. At that time you ran two 16mm projectors so changes from one tape to another were seamless.
I received an entirely different idea of Shakespeare's plays as seen on film, particularly Hamlet and McBeth. I don't think high school students were aware of many of the nuances.
First Oscars were in 1929
#3...Switzerland
#13: What does Dorothy have to steal from the Wicked Witch of the West? >>>> her broom or broomstick.
I hope that I'm not out of line taking another guess since I missed my second one...

10. Whose biography is entitled Citizen Jane? Jane Addams, written by Louise W. Knight
Jane Addams co-founded one of the first settlements in the United States, the Hull House in Chicago, Illinois, and was named a co-winner of the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize.
Is it permissible to "google" a question in these Trivia Quizes?
I found the site where Kelly got quite a few of these questions and I did see the answer to # 10. But, don't want to cheat if that is not permissible??? I don't think I have done any of these Trivia Quizes before.
Joy
Patricia, I don't think Jane Addams is correct, either. But, I will wait to hear back from Kelly.
Joy
Joy, I have a large collection of biographies and classics going back to when I was eight. I also love trivia and while I may not remember your name, trivia sticks in my head oddly enough.
I get a daily dose of Trivia in my email, that I play. So I know or can guess from that or simply my age. "Copyright © 2013 Trivia Today"
Having said that, I do use Google if I am absolutely stumped. But I try not to.
I have the book from Amazon Kindle so perhaps there is more than one?
I thought it was Jane Alexander, also. And when he said it wasn't I looked it up and Google gave me Jane Alexander.
Hi Joy
Of course Google the answers.
I do it myself if I don't know the answers.
Kelly
Hi angel
Sorry I missed your post.
Question 10 is not correct, it is not the answer I have.
Kelly
Hi Everyone
When I saw Question 10, before I looked at the answers the name I though of was the answer.
If anyone wants a hint, I will leave one for each question.
Kelly
If #14 has not been answered yet...I will take a shot at it: If it has I apologize
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton made ELEVEN films together (ten theatrical films and one TV movie):
Hi Chia
Question 14 is correct
Thank you.
Kelly
Hi Everyone
I am retiring now
One question left.
10. Whose biography is entitled Citizen Jane?
If it is not answered in the morning UK time. About nine hours time I will close the quiz.
Has anyone a quiz ready, as I should have a quiz ready by Thursday evening.
Kelly
I'm going to take a wild guess because the only other "Jane" I can think of that might be called Citizen Jane is...
Jane Fonda
Jane, I think that is the answer that Kelly is looking for. But, from all the other sources that I looked up , they all said Jane Alexander.
So, maybe there must have been two different movies with the same name. I couldn't find any other mention of Jane Fonda in any of the sources that I looked at.
Have to wait and see if Kelly has an explanation.
Joy
Hi JaneS
Jane Fonda is the correct answer.
Thank you
Kelly
Citizen Jane is about Jane Fondas life and I chose the question as she was and still is a high profile person.
As there is an actress in the UK called Jane Alexander, best known for Hilda Ogden on Coronation Street, I thought that Jane Fonda would be more recognisable than the UK's Jane Alexander.
Kelly
Hi Everyone
Out and about soon!
I will post the results in a few hours.
If any member had a quiz ready please post one. If not Inshould have another one ready by tonight UK time.
Kelly
Kelly, the Jane Alexander that (I think) all of us were citing lives (or lived) in SanFrancisco US and was famous for trying to solve the murder of her aunt. There was a book written about her exploits and a movie. I think James Dalessandro was the author of the book.
Hi JaneS
I read a bit about Jane Alexander.
But I thought that the actress Jane Fonda was an easier answer, being part of the Fonda family.
Still not home!
These smartphones are so good as I can reply while out in the town. The microphone part of the phone is good.
Kelly
Citizen Jane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Citizen Jane may refer to:
Citizen Jane (book), a 1999 true-crime book by James Dalessandro
Citizen Jane, a 1990 biography of Jane Fonda by Christopher Andersen[/color]
I guess the ones who guessed either way were correct . Although I could not find any other reference to Jane Fonda.
Nevertheless, Kelly, there were some very interesting Trivia questions. Thank you !
Joy
Evidently there are several Citizen Janes floating around

Kelly
Good quiz! you made us put on our thinking caps!
Kelly - thank you for this very interesting and controversial quiz! I too, thought of Jane Fonda, because somewhere in the back of my mind, I can remember her being referred to as Citizen Jane.
If anyone is interested in the fascinating life of Jane Fonda, read her autobiography, "My Life So Far". Believe me, it's a good read! It starts in her childhood, when her mother committed suicide, and all about her life with her self centered father, Henry. Then came her string of unusual marriages, and of course her famous Vietnam escapade. It will hold your interest for sure.
FOR SURE! It will!
Hi JaneS
Thank you
Kelly
Hi Marilyne
Thank you
Kelly
Hi Marilyne
Not sure it was controversial, as you had in mind the answer.
And that answer was the one I required.
Kelly
NAME THAT TUNE
My last quiz was Feb 24, 2015, so I guess it's time to start again.
As usual,
two correct answers per customer for starters. I'll be at the studio all afternoon doing my show, so I probably won't be making any responses until late Sunday afternoon.
1: No, no no
2: No other will do
3: Music in the night
4: The Sweetest Rose
5: It’s a possibility
6: How my heart would ache
7: With just a photograph
8: Face the music together
9: Your heart will break
10: Alone and so shy
4: The Sweetest Rose
The Yellow Rose Of Texas.
8: Face the music together
Let's Face The Music And Dance.
#7: What'll I Do with just a photograph, to tell my troubles to?
Hi Radioman
I only know one and that might not be right!
Song 10
The Last Waltz
Kelly
Rammel Neither answer is correct. There are subtle differences between your and the correct responses which makes your reply quite plausible.
Marilyne #7 correct
Kelly #10 correct
I'm off to the studio now, so I can't access my files until I get back; although I'll be available in the Classical Corner
Hi Radioman
Having a guess at my second song.
Song 4
Days of wine and roses
Kelly
Sorry Kelly, that's not the answer for #4
Hi Radioman
Trying again with Question 4
You Always Hurt The One You Love
Kelly
#8: Dancing in the Dark
Kelly, Marilyne, your answers are correct.
LEFTOVERS
1: No, no no
2: No other will do
3: Music in the night
5: It’s a possibility
6: How my heart would ache
9: Your heart will break
Have a go at two more.
#1: this is a long shot, but I remember a pop song from the 40's that went - Can anyone explain, the wonder of love - no, no, no. I guess the song title was Can Anyone Explain?
Marilyne your aim is good; your answer is correct
Any clues Radioman, as the songs have me stumped.
Kelly
Kelly it appears that everyone is stumped, so here are some teasers:
2: No other will do >> Made famous by The Ink Spots
3: Music in the night >> A Rodgers & Hart collaboration
5: It’s a possibility >>> A Gershwin hit. Also the name of a movie
6: How my heart would ache>>>A 1949 movie by the same name
9: Your heart will break>>> Frank Sinatra and Bessie Smith recorded this.
#2...I don't want to set the world on fire..Thanks for the clue
#6: Oh you Beautiful Doll. I vaguely remember the movie - Betty Grable or Alice Faye? I'll have to look it up.
Chya #2 is correct. You can answer 3 more
Marilyne #6 is correct. The movie featured June Haver, but my favourite character was "Cuddles" Sakall
I'll throw it open now, so answer to your heart's content.
I've added additional lyrics (in italics) to help you along.
3: Music in the night . . . A dream that can be heard >> A Rodgers & Hart collaboration
5: It’s a possibility. . . it's not unbelievable >>> A Gershwin hit. Also the name of a movie
9: Your heart will break/like mine and you'll want me only >>> Frank Sinatra and Bessie Smith recorded this.

Hi Chia
Question 1
Is it
Gas
Plasma
Liquid
Solid
Kelly
I learned about the Ha ha in one of Agatha Christie's book. At too at the time had to go and check what it was.
Still none the wiser on what a Ha Ha is
Kelly
An example of a HA HA is a retaining wall. It's landscaping that does not interfere with the view. It goes down and allows the viewer to see easily beyond it.
according to a Crossword puzzler, a Ha Ha is a sunken fence.
It is a wall on one side, with a deep ditch or trench on the other side. Its purpose was to separate formal garden from fields or pastures, so the animals could not cross over. Also it would not obstruct the view as Jane said.
To all you sunken fence answer-ers..JaneS. had already answered it plus Kelly who correctly answered #1 leaving just 1 question left to answer..
.
10 Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king :
(a) Spades
(B) Hearts
(c) Clubs
(d) Diamonds

Bubble... Please match the Kings to their suits...
bubble..Charlemagne was not King of Jerusalem...I will give an answer to...Ruler of Western Europe...His suite is Hearts...
I can give more hints...
I looked them up, too but I'm going to give Bubble a chance to sort them out.
JaneS...Looking the answers up is not against rules for this Quiz...
you can answer all 4 or answer 1 at a time...on #10 ..Need suit and match names to the suit and name country they ruled..
Hints coming if desired...
10 Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king :

King of Diamonds - Julius Caesar
King of Spades - King David

Bubble's time zone is twelve hours ahead.
Kelly you are more than welcome ;)
Hi angel
As I post it is Monday 2.15am here on the Isle of Man
I think it is Monday 4.15 am Israel
And the S&F time says Sunday 9.15pm
Is Bubble two hours ahead of the UK and Isle of Man, but seven hours ahead of the time zone where S&F is.
kelly
So its possible she went to bed before seeing Chia's questions. I think its probable she had the question.
Israel is 2 hours ahead of Isle of Man
4:23 AM Monday, in Israel is
2:23 AM Monday, in Isle of Man
12 hours ahead of me.
Chia, that was a GREAT quiz. Thanks!
Thank you Chia.
Right, it was not Charlemagne who was King of Jerusalem, but Godefroid de Bouillon from the crusaders. I remember seeing his statue on horse in Brussels.

Just one left to solve so it's open to anyone who wants it.
#2 You`re the best
#2 Nobody Does It Better..
Don...Did you finish off your music Quiz???
Chya re #2 that is not the answer I'm looking for. The one in question is an old standard which was sung by Ruth Etting, Lena Horne, or more contemporary singers such as Ray Charles and Diana Krall
Don, it was my husband AJ, who guessed The Wiffinpoof Song. :) Because of the line "doomed from here to eternity", I was curious and looked it up on line. Sure enough, James Jones, who wrote the book, used the words from the song for his title. When you think about the story line of the book/movie, that phrase is the perfect title!
Don..Last attempt..#2 ".Deed I Do"..UGH
Chya BINGO! You are correct.

#9: "Faster horses" quote >>> Henry Ford
Angel..I am confused...Please post what questions are left unanswered...thanks
Good Morning Chia. I've just awakened to a cat strolling around my bed, up and over and all around, and I've yet to have my coffee. Please see post #254 from last night.
Now then.
Jackie, you are absolutely correct on number ten! The layer or zone, that receives enough sunlight to allow photosynthesis.
Kelly,you are also correct about Stevie Wonder, #14 and #17, although it doesn't only pertain to marketing.
Marilyn, that is incorrect. Although the quote has commonly been linked to Ford, he wasn't the originator.

18. is an exclusive shop mainly for feminine clothing, jewelry and accessories.
Bubble you are correct on question #11! Although question #18 is almost the same as your previous answer, I will give it to you for the bare bones. A boutique means small and probably exclusive. " Relatively small firm that provides a limited range of (usually) very specialized goods or services, often at premium prices. A boutique advertising agency, for example, may offer either creative work or market research services but not both."

Hi angel
Yes ADIA is used in advertising, but we were taught in the UK it is mainly for Marketing.
Unless you meant the Musical? :)
Kelly
I'm batting zero so far, but third time's a charm, so here goes! :knuppel2:
#4: difference in pragmatist and realist?
A realist sees things the way they are.
A pragmatist assumes how things are is the way they'll always be.
Not the musical Kelly, but it also makes a good personal mantra!
Third time's the charm, Marilyn! Actually, pragmatism is more a philosophy in my opinion.
"In a very simple single sentence,Realism is the quantifiable aspect of reality, while Pragmatism is the individuals experience to this thing we call reality. It can also be said that it's the collective experience of reality."

20. What is the difference between a bug and an insect?
#9: I'm going to revisit this question again . .
"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses?"
I automatically guessed Henry Ford, because I've heard it attributed to him over the years. I just did a little research, and it looks like no one at all is given credit for this quote? There is no record of who said it? (I'm probably wrong again, but this is a tough one!)
Bingo, Marilyn! You are correct! Another question?

6. How does a Geiger Counter Tube work?
Radiation causes a change in conduction through the tube.
I'd bet you are looking for more than this.
#3.. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.....A decision between 2 equally unpleasant situations: going to a dentist: If you go you suffer, and if you don't go, you suffer
7. The difference between irresponsible hopefulness and practical realism is?
irresponsible hopefulness - Trying to leap across the creek because you think you can make it (but can't)
practical realism - Walking to the bridge because you pretty sure you can't make the leap across the creek.
Rick, I'll take your answer for #6, it is a simpler version of "The counter consists of a tube filled with an inert gas that becomes conductive of electricity when it is impacted by a high-energy particle. When a Geiger counter is exposed to ionizing radiation, the particles penetrate the tube and collide with the gas, releasing more electrons."
#7 is also correct and it is the cynic's version of that glass being half full or half empty.
3. Where did the expression, "deep blue sea," originate?
Chia, you are correct with number #3 in part, but I will accept it as it was originally a nautical term about countries aligned and not aligned with the western world, sound familiar? It means, (other than dentistry); caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. (idiomatic) Having a choice between two alternatives, both undesirable.

Rick you should be all set for #20, hmmm....?
Hi angel
Are we still on two answers each?
Kelly
Kelly at this point, I'll make it a free for all! Go ahead.
20 a bug is an insect but an insect is not a bug. I don't know exactly why. Maybe because bugs have hard wings on top?
I looked that one up on Google, but it made no sense to me? Something about an insect having a mouth that sucks your blood (mosquito) . . whereas a bug doesn't suck blood, but only bites? :-\
Is the site working now?
I'm going to give the answer to #20;
True bugs have a stylet (a mouth shaped like a straw) that they use to suck juices from plants. Insects belong to the class Insecta and they are characterized by three-part bodies, usually two pairs of wings, and three pairs of legs, (e.g., bees and mosquitoes)
A new trivia quiz has started;
5. What does "In accordance," mean and how would you use it?
8. What is the Bikeshed Colour effect"
15. And what are 'backronyms?'
Sticking my neck out: Deciding on what color you and you alone want to paint your bike shed and discouraging every one else's opinion
Chia, and that is in reference to?
a person making their own decisions?...I haven't the vaguest idea of what I am talking about ???...I would rather discuss draw poker..
I meant in reference to any remaining question on the trivia quiz?
#15: What are bacronyms? >>> A backronym is a reverse acronym?
:thumbup: Yes Marilyn you are correct!
These aren't really that hard folks!
A new trivia quiz has started;
5. What does "In accordance," mean and how would you use it?
8. What is the Bikeshed Colour effect"
Okay, time to wrap this up. #5, What does "In accordance," mean and how would you use it?
"In the context you give, the phrase "in accordance with..." means that plans should "comply with" or follow whatever rules, directives or policies are being referred to. The root word is "accord," which means "agreement" or "harmony," and both concepts are present in the phrase." It's used as legalize in wills and similar papers. It means for an example that you might have to follow a procedure that is or aligns with the other rules or procedures listed beforehand such as in a will, condo community or similar types.
A lot of verbiage for a simple concept.
Moving on to #8, What is the Bikeshed Colour effect."
This fits right in with these quizzes and I'm surprised that it wasn't noted although in rectospect think that was what Chia was trying to say without a question number.
"Often times, decision makers are far less reluctant to pull the trigger on large-scale problems than on much smaller, trivial problems."
"Trivial decisions often come under debate because everyone is on equal footing and should any two persons lock horns oftentimes the issue is quite likely to carry on until either party concedes. If the issue is something entirely subjective such as the colour of the bike shed, then someone must concede or the issue can prolong far longer than it should."

Kingston Town Songtext
The night seems to fade,
But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone
The stars shine so bright,
But they're fading after dawn
There is magic in Kingston Town
Oh Kingston Town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And when I am king,
surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town
Oh Kingston Town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And when I am king,
surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town...
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Chia - Thank you for the "moon" music quiz! Lots of fun and lots of musical memories. :smitten:
An excellent quiz:thanks Chya
Radioman..You are welcome :)
Chia
Another quiz completed.thank you.
It was nice having your input..You're welcome :)
As we Americans know, Election Day will be here in 4 months (at last) and I thought a Quiz naming our 50 states and their Capital cities, would be apropos but not easy..
Each person can name 5 states and how they are in alphabetical order along with their capitals...This should be interesting....
I would have liked a list by date of statehood, but here goes. I am familiar with these because mine is among them.
Alabama Montgomery
Alaska Juneau
Arizona Phoenix
Arkansas Little Rock
California Sacramento
All correct Angel...good start...Continue with the remaining 45 states
Colorado - Denver
Connecticut - Hartford
Delaware - Dover
Florida - Tallahassee
Georgia - Atlanta
Correct Marilyne...Continuing with 40 more states to be named...
To Marilyne and Angel: you can name as many of all the remaining states and their capitals you want along with everyone else..
Hawaii - Honolulu
Idaho - Boise
Illinois - Springfield
Indiana - Indianapolis
Iowa - Des Moines
I hope others come in and name the remaining states. :)
All Correct Marilyne... :) To you and all: you can name as many as you wish or as few as you wish
Kansas. Topeka
Kentucky Frankfort
Louisiana. Baton Rouge
Maine. Augusta
Maryland Annapolis
Right you are Junee.. :thumbup: and especially when you come from a different country...You and everyone are welcome to join in in naming some more :)
Massachusetts. Boston
Michigan. Lansing
Minnesota. St Paul
Mississippi. Jackson
Missouri. Jefferson
Junee...O.K for. all your states except you left the word "City" out after the capital city, "Jefferson City Missouri"...
Continue on.. all...
Chia, that was careless because that one I knew without Mr Google.
Junee..As we would say here in the United States, "No Big Deal" ''Continue if you prefer.....
Montana. Helena
Nebraska. Lincoln
Nevada. Carson city
New Hampshire. Concord
New Jersey. Trenton
Junee..Right again..Proceed if you care to...
New Mexico - Santa Fe
New York - Albany
North Carolina - Raleigh
North Dakota - Bismarck
Ohio - Columbus
Oklahoma Oklahoma City
Oregon Salem
Pennsylvania Harrisburg
Rhode Island Providence
South Carolina Columbia
South Dakota - Pierre
Tennessee - Nashville
Texas - Austin
Utah - Salt Lake City
Vermont - Montpelier
so many I had never heard of!
I pity the kids who have to learn all that by heart for their geography lessons.
But then we did that for all the European countries
Not only states and capitals, Bubble, but gross state products as well. I used to know all that, could spit it out any time as well as draw a simple map, not any more.....
You are reminding me of how we had to know products and agriculture crops of European countries in grade 3. For Italy I mentioned fields of spaghetti!!! :2funny:
Correct Answers Bubble and Angel....Just 5 more states to be named...Any and all can name them now...
Virginia - Richmond
Washington - Olympia
West virginia - Charleston
Wisconsin - Madison
Wyoming - Cheyenne
We also had to learn and memorize the states and capitals, in elementary school. I think it was in about 6th grade? This included the major industries in each state. I recall that at the time, the major industry in Michigan was automobile manufacturing. I don't think that's true anymore? Being as I lived in California, we mostly studied the industry here. At that time it was ship building and airplane manufacturing, plus citrus growing and other fruits and veggies. Southern CA, where I lived, was mostly orange, lemon and grapefruit orchards back then. Now all long gone, and replaced by housing tracts and huge sprawling cities and freeways.
It would be interesting to read how each state has changed since then.
Correct answers Marilyne...and this ends the quiz naming all 50 American states and their capitals...
Thanks to Marilyne,Angel, Junee, and Bubble for their contributions and especially great were Australia and Israel represented
Here is my appreciation for all your answers... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Marilyne, I think we had fishing, timber, and tourism. I know in the fifties and sixties, there was much more homesteading and lots of Asian and Russian immigrants as well as tourism. The University has nine state campuses and an icebreaker in their system, so a lot of folks from India and East European countries came here to study.
It used to be more of an agricultural campus and then it went to land use, sciences and when they got the super computer, it developed more like a deep space, microwaves, and communications university. Oil and the pipeline were huge for awhile but that is not as important now, or maybe just more widespread?
Bubble, spaghetti? I bet they had many willing labours! :thumbup: ;)
Thank you Chia!
Thank you Chia! I remembered most from my school days, but some I had forgotten, like Montpelier, VT!! Not a city that you ever hear mentioned?
Patricia - California is completely changed now. Citrus is now grown and processed in Florida. Airplane and ship building now in Washington. Here in Northern California, our major industry now is High Tech companies like Apple, Google, and all the others. Southern CA is now mostly the entertainment industry . . . television, movies, and music. Things are constantly evolving and changing. I wonder what it will be like in another 50+ years?
Who knows Marilyne? Our area has been evolving just in my sixty plus years. We went from usually forgotten by the Americans, traveled and settled by East European and adventurous Australian and New Zealanders to companies bringing in more American tourists.
We had much more small villages and far-flung small towns before the late sixties, early seventies. FDR sent many Dust Boul refugees here during the thirties, and we had the Japanese invade during WWII, you can still see artifacts from that time, pillboxes and tank tracks in the tundra.
There have been periodic attempts to build a full state highway and road system, but it never comes to fruition because the Native block is totally against it and they have political power in the state. They have seen too many unappreciative rescues of ignorant folks, criminals, and others they don't want on their land, and the extensive forest fires have also turned them against travelers.
Instead of reservations back in the day, the state purchased and gave local land to native tribes who developed corporations and local tribal councils with full authority in their area, so they now have branched out into their tribal run companies of just about everything from firefighting, construction, to computers and fishing.
So in this state, you have local government, borough government, tribal government and federal government. Sometimes you have to navigate through all of them! ::)
I remembered this joke of so long ago when Middle Eastern immigrants came to this country and trying to become Citizens had to answer questions about our states..
When a student told the teacher that there were 2 extra states other than those mentioned: starting with the letter "v": Vermont and Virginia, was asked to name those extra 2 states and his answer was "VISCONSIN AND VYOMING"...
:)
I always knew there were many States in the USA bu t did not know all those names or capitols. So when the time came for me to visit your great country I bought a large map, 6 ft by 3 and put it up on my wall. Since then have marked my travels and so easy to go see where folks I meet live when I meet them on S & F.
My country in size is about 3/4 size of The States but our population compares about the same as Florida and we live mostly round the coast. Only 7 states so a lot less to learn when at school.
When I was in school the population of Australia was 6 million!
Thanks for the quiz, Chia, nothing like learning about other countries.
You are more than welcome Junee

"Expanding bullets, also known as hollow-point bullets or “xxx-xxx,†are designed to “mushroom†upon entering a target in order to stop it from leaving the body. Compared to regular bullets, or full metal jack ammunition, expanding bullets are intended to cause maximum tissue damage."

Is the hummingbird an ANIMAL?
Thank you Chya
Chia. Thank you,I sure learn from these quizzes :thumbup:
Rick, I Googled your question and along with lots and lots of extraneous information, all answers said yes, birds are animals. If not animals, are you thinking reptiles? Although they have a type of "antifreeze" in their feet which allows them to perch on cold props, they still do not regulate their body temperatures with the outside temperatures and have been known to freeze to death.
Also, thank you for the quiz, Chia!
you are welcome, Junee, Radioman and Angel :)
Angel, would tadpoles be classified as animals? They don't walk on their legs before turning to frogs.
And rabbits hop, don't walk! Semantics of course.
Thanks Chaia, a good one!
I don't know where birds "belong", but I didn't think of them as animals. In which case, we have loads of wild animals here in the City. :2funny:
Thankyou Rammel for your thought provoking comment...and also thanks to Bubble
Rick, after reading your post, I turned the question around and Googled, "Are birds a sub species of reptile?"
This is one of the answers I found, even though birds do not regulate their heat with the outside temperatures. "Modern non-avian reptiles inhabit every continent with the exception of Antarctica (If birds are classed as reptiles, then all continents are inhabited.) Several living subgroups are recognized: Testudines (turtles, terrapins and tortoises), approximately 400 species;[1] Sphenodontia (tuatara from New Zealand), 1 species;[1][2] Squamata (lizards, snakes, and worm lizards), over 9,600 species;[1] Crocodilia (crocodiles, gavials, caimans, and alligators), 25 species;[1] and Aves (birds), 10,000 species.[1] Because some reptiles are more closely related to birds than they are to other reptiles (crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards), many modern scientists prefer to make Reptilia a monophyletic grouping and so also include the birds, which today contain over 10,000 species.

Hmmm - I wonder if all the other players are aware that there are still some trivia questions left over? It's been awhile, so I'll answer #6.
I looked it up, and found the answer to be very interesting. The Oscar (and I guess the other awards too) are worth only one dollar! The reason being that nominee's have to sign a "winner's agreement" that neither they or their heirs, will ever sell their Academy Award without first offering to sell it back to the Motion Picture Academy of Arts & Sciences for $1.00.
Good point Marilyne, but that is only half of the answer. I had opened up the questions in a free for all.
The materials in the Oscar, or other trophy are worth about
$900. (Probably worth more, now that the price of gold has escalated.)
Nice. And the Grammy?
A Trivia Quiz that is full of trivia!

4. This person made his fortune by supplying meat to the Union soldiers during the Civil War. In 1870 he built his first meat-packing plant in Chicago, which soon made that city the meat-packing center of the U.S.A. What was his name? Chia
5. How much is an Olympic gold medal worth? Junee
6. How much is an Oscar worth? Or a Grammy? Marilyne answered the Oscar portion of the question and the second unanswered part is that a Grammy is worth nothing at all, but it costs $11.00 to make. However, a famous star sold theirs for 2,500.
7. Which 1878 Gilbert and Sullivan operetta was subtitled "The Lass that Loved a Sailor"? Chia
8. The ancient Greeks were aware of exactly how many planets, including earth? "Five planets can be seen with the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Sometimes the luminaries, the Sun and Moon, are added to the list of naked eye planets to make a total of seven." Unanswered

#24: Irish jockey who won the Grand National at his fifteenth attempt? >>> Tony McCoy
Angel, your source is wrong: in Netherlander they speak Nederlands and not Flemish which is a dialect from Nederlands spoken in Belgium Flanders. In Switzerland, they never talked Flemish, but Schweitzer Dutch which is a German dialect. I lived there, so I know from experience :D
Oops! Back to European Trivia! I was trying to not make it so US centric.
The first source I used was from a middle school tutoring site and the second was from a European trivia site. I do not want to give away my quiz sources so I will quietly investigate further.
#3 I presume you mean the Moon Mission, in which case the moon walker was quarantined for fear of contaminents being brought back from the moon
#23 Hemlock
17. Richmond in Tasmania is oldest bridge in use in Australia.
Built by convicts
18. Cape Byron is most easterly point in Australia.
Back from the doctors and back to the quiz.
Yes, Don, that was the moon mission with #3, and you are correct and also not correct on #23, you probably meant Socrates who was given a death sentence for impiety. I am dropping number 23 however as Plato was kidnapped twice and poisoned for ease in his first kidnapping. However, it doesn't become clear what was used. So you have a second allowed question.
Junee, #17 is not correct, In which town would you find the oldest continuously used bridge in Australia? #18 is correct. You also have a remaining question available.

Bubble, I am researching and so far I've found this about the Netherlands and French and or Flemish speakers.
"Dutch is the official language in Belgium. French-speakers often pejoratively call the Dutch language used by Flemings Flemish but it is Dutch nevertheless. The Flemish tend to use it to refer to the various dialects of Dutch spoken in Flanders.However, perhaps a bit like the Scots of Robbie Burns, the dialects spoken by Flemings can differ enormously from Dutch.
Yet, if you read a Flemish newspaper, what you are reading is Dutch not Flemish dialect.This strong relationship with dialect is much weaker in Wallonia and amongst French-speakers in Brussels and also in the Netherlands itself.When Belgium was created in 1831, the favoured language was French, primarily because, since they had just broken free of the Dutch they weren't about to use their language. The Vlaamse Beweging, Flemish movement, - and therefore the use of Dutch - began a couple of decades later. The importance of dialect in Flanders is down to the fact that official business was previously conducted in French. Official Dutch is fairly recent."
"A new trend is emerging: Dutch is now 'pluricentral', that is, the 'Dutch' Dutch and Flemish Dutch are considered as varieties of equal value, which are very similar in writing and when used on formal occasions, but which mainly differ in pronunciation, word choice and some grammar features in informal use."
"Dutch is indeed the official language in Belgium. Both Belgian and Dutch linguists work together in the 'Taalunie' in order to create a standard Dutch language. Nevertheless, there is a big difference between the Dutch spoken in the Netherlands and the Dutch spoken in Belgium. I suppose it is more than correct to say that Flemish is the Belgian variant of Dutch.
We just use different words and expressions that are understood by every Dutch-speaking Belgian and that is used in our newspapers as well; as it is to us common language. On the other side, there are a lot of words that are only used in certain areas of Flanders. The difference between language and dialect is often very difficult to determine. A fact is that the use of dialects in Flanders is still very common as well. I suppose this is because we are first of all inhabitant of our own village or town and isn't it only normal that we then speak the dialect of the town or city we belong to, in order to have this feeling of togetherness.
Belgium was indeed created in 1831 and the only official language in Belgium was French, because the rich industrials and the men of power only knew and only spoke French. We may not forget that French was for a very long time the most important language spoken by all men of power in Europe. Even the Dutch king spoke French, but he had the intention to set up schools were Dutch would be taught as the majority of Belgians spoke Dutch. The rich being afraid to lose their power (as education is power in a way), wanted to get rid of the Dutch king and this actually lead to tearing off and the creation of a new state (Belgium) with the help of the English.
Dutch only became an official language in 1929 and only because king Albert I had promised to his people that they would be rewarded because of what they had suffered during World War I. Lots of Flemish soldiers died then only and because they weren't able to understand the orders of the superiors, who could only speak French."
On to Switzerland and do they speak French and Flemish?
"Switzerland's four official languages, traditionally spoken in different regions of the country, are German, French, Italian and Rumantsch [sometimes also transcribed as Romansh, Romansch Rhaeto-Romanic or even Romance etc.]). Some statistics showing a fairly high percentage of "other" languages might give a false idea, if not interpreted properly.
Language Public
Use Mother
Tongue
German 74 % 63.7 %
French 21 % 19.6 %
Italian 4 % 6.6 %
Rumantsch 1 % 0.5 %
Spanish n.a. 1.7 %
Serbo-Croatian n.a. 1.4 %
Portugese n.a. 1.3 %
Turkish n.a. 1.1 %
English n.a. 1.0 %
Albanese n.a. 0.7 %
Other Languages n.a. 2.4 %
Due to massive immigration (20% of the resident Swiss population are non-naturalized foreigners, 50% do have at least one parent that has not been born in the country!), there are many individuals who will not say they speak one of the four official languages of Switzerland when asked for their mother tongue.
Nevertheless, in everyday public life (economy, schools, administration, recreation) only one (or two) of the traditional four official, "native Swiss" languages will be used, depending on the region. Why this? From the early Middle Ages (6th century) to the Age of Industrialization (19th century) Switzerland's native population has been divided into four different cultures with four different languages in four regions separated from each other by «natural» borders like rivers and mountains.
here are clearly defined regions for all four official languages (German in northern, central and eastern Switzerland, French in western Switzerland, Italian in southern Switzerland and Rumantsch in southeastern Switzerland).
The regions do, however, overlap just a little: German is being used in parallel to Rumantsch in all Rumantsch areas and in parallel to French in the bilingual cities of Biel/Bienne, Fribourg/Freiburg, Murten/Morat and in some smaller towns and villages along the language border in western Switzerland.

I learned a lot, and chief among that was never accept what you read, even in reference articles at face value. Which is why I never accept Wikipedia as anything but a supposed starting point.
angel - I answered #24 this morning about 10:30. (California time). Was I wrong, or didn't you see it?
Marilyne, I apologise. I had returned from the doctors and simply missed it when I went through the answers. I had to go back through and find it, and you are correct and have one more open question plus the two more I'm giving out to folks now. I had gone out this afternoon and am just now getting back.

#17..Richmond Bridge..Tasmania :-\ :-\
Chia, my question's answer was given as Hobart. However, after exploring further, it was incorrect, and that means that Junee's post #537 yesterday was correct. I'm finding that many of these quiz questions and answers are not always truthful, and I do apologise to those investing their time and energies here and having problems.
5. Which Tonight Show host made a joke about toilet paper shortage that caused a panic when people believed him?

#5 Johnny Carson
20. Timaru and pleasant point are 19 kilometres apart by highway.
21. They celebrating 150 years since forming. .?
Good Evening Everyone!
Don, you are correct with your answer to #5. "A liberal in the increasingly liberal age of the 1960s and 1970s, so powerful were his opening monologues that by the early 1970s, he could actually affect society at large outside of the pop culture realm. A joke about a shortage of industrial grade toilet paper caused a national panic and a run on all grades of t.p., with a resulting shortage of the product about which he had kidded."
Junee, your answer for #20, is indeed correct, and your answer for #21 is almost correct as they are the oldest in the country, having formed as a volunteer unit in 1866. "The volunteers managed for many years until a disastrous fire in 1918 saw their demise and the brigade reformed with paid employees and run by a Fire Board rather than the Borough Council."
Last five remaining;
9. What European Alliances came into play during WW1?
10. What was the first major battle of WW1?
13. Why is the rule of law essential to the EU?
19. When did the Auckland Harbour open?
22. When did WW2 have its last battle?
I should qualify that last one as the last battle shortly after all peace treaties were signed. I do this because some jungle holdouts believed the war was still on and ran a few guerrilla raids up until the sixties and early seventies.
I am taking a stab at this question..........
22).............." The Battle for Castle Itter "......
in the Austrian North Tyrol village of Itter was fought on 5 May 1945, in the last days of the European Theater of World War II......
19. The Auckland Harbour bridge opened 30 May 1959.
Don't know when Harbour opened.
Jackie, while that battle is historically significant in its own right with American soldiers, Jewish prisoners, French VIP prisoners along with their wives and girlfriends, and regular German soldiers, working together to fight off the Waffen-SS. It was only time German and American soldiers fought together in WWII.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/05/12/world-war-ii-s-strangest-battle-when-americans-and-germans-fought-together.html
However, in the Pacific front, the bloodiest battles of the war lay ahead until the final one in Okinawa and the dropping of the bombs ion Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
"The bloodbath at Okinawa was a major factor in President Harry Truman's decision-making about an invasion of the Japanese home islands. Would the Japanese never capitulate? How many would more Americans die before the war could end? The events of summer 1945 -- including the use of two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- brought the war to a close before another land battle could take place."
Junee, you are correct with the answer to question #19.

Hi Angel..Latest quiz certainly thought provoking and challenging...Thanks...
While we're waiting for a new quiz, here's a little story to give you a chuckle:
The 2.99 special
We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two eggs, bacon,
hash browns and toast for $2.99.
'Sounds good,' my wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.'
'Then, I'll have to charge you $3.49 because you're ordering a la carte,'
the waitress warned her.
'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' my wife asked incredulously.
'YES!' stated the waitress. 'I'll take the special then,' my wife said.
'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked.
'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied. She took the two eggs home and baked a cake.
DON'T MESS WITH SENIORS!!!
They've been around the block more than once!

I am not betting on it :thumbup:
Hmmmm? Now I'm remembering why I haven't posted a music quiz in a long time. :( Maybe when Rick checks in, he will answer a couple, and I'm afraid that will be it? I miss Kelly!
If my memory serves me, there were a couple of people in the soda shoppe that liked to try for the music quiz...Announcing it there might not be a bad idea...
Sorry.. for butting in...
no 4 The Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond.
12. Show Me The Way To Go Home
Chia - Please, butt in! Good to see someone in here! LOL I notice that rutumi posted the last music quiz, so if you see her in any of the games, ask her to look in. :)

Rammel - When Johnny Comes Marching Home, is correct
Chia - A Shanty in Old Shanty Town, and The Prisoners Song are both right.

That last one chased me off to Amazon to look at the Burl Ives selections. I do have some Ives stuff on LP's but no longer a way to play them (readily). Might just get one of the CDs.
Marilyne...Great Music Quiz...Enjoyed it a lot... :) :thumbup:
Maryline, thank you for the songs of yesteryear.
great quiz! Songs we sang so many years ago
Thank you all again for playing! :thumbup:
Rick - I also have some old Burl Ives LP's. We have a vintage stereo that works, but it's down in the basement/family room, and nobody ever wants to sit down there and listen to records! However, we just can't bring ourselves to give away the huge number of LP's we like so much. As for folk songs, I also like The Kingston Trio, and have a lot of those also, as well as Peter, Paul and Mary. My favorite Ives song is, "The Eddystone Light", and my favorite Kingston Trio song is, "The Sloop John B".

Hahaha --- It must be an "old people" thing. My LP's and "player" are also downstairs in our playroom. I have an old Fisher 500T receiver. Still works good and is still used. An old Dual turntable is on an adjacent wall and not connected. My LP's and those from other deceased relatives are also down there. Remember those Longines Symphonette sets? --- got some of them. My forgetful brain says the Burl Ives is one of those sets. I'm starting to get inspired to go down there to the "archives" and see what I can find. This happens to me every once in a while.

#9: There will Never Be Another You
Don - I'm going to send a message to Jeanne Lee, and ask her if she can combine The Trivia Quiz and the Music Quiz, into one. It would be called something like General Trivia and Music Memories Quiz. That's too wordy, but something along those lines? No one ever sees the Music Quiz, as it is now, except for a few of us who have always liked to play.
#1...You belong to my heart.
This is to Joy: .".I certainly do not mind...and as an elder, know how important it is to keep your mind alert" :)

Thanks so much, again.
Joy
Chya #10 is correct
Joy, as long as you're here, take a guess at one of the songs in Radioman's quiz. :)

And, now that I see all the answers, that was really a hard one. I will have to be "more on the ball" for the next one,
JOY
Joy - I'm going to suggest to Jeanne Lee, that we combine the Trivia and Music quizzes into one. If that happens, I'll send you a PM to let you know.

Thanks to you all for joining in... :thumbup:
Thanks Chia for all that information. Especially about the horse and the donkey.!!!!!!
Enjoyed the quiz.
Junee..Thanks for your comments :)
Good quiz, Chia. Just never know what new things we will learn here. I love learning something new ! And, we all know that you are never too old to learn something new !!!!
Good things to keep the mind active and try to avoid dementia.
I have talked to people before that just aren't interested in learning new things, or hearing about something new. If you want to be able to discuss things with your grandchildren, you just have to keep on your toes. LOL
Joy
Thanks Chia for an interesting one!
you are welcome Bubble... :)
Joy...I found what you said interesting...and true...but....as you know, you cannot push your thoughts and enthusiasm on to to others with deaf ears and thoughts...
All one can do is Aspire, to Inspire before you expire...I wish I was the one smart enough to have made up such a saying...but it is my new "battle cry"
I like your Battle Cry.
thanks..Junee
I like your "Battle Cry", also. That's a very interesting saying.
Joy
Joy..Ever since I came across that saying on line, it made a big impression on me...and I really try to adhere to the saying as much as I can.. P.S.
I am correcting my error in quoting the saying...The correct one is: Aspire, To Inspire, before You Expire...
Music. No apparent theme. It's all over the place. I guess the theme would be "Random".
1 - Time means nothing to you
2 - Can't help feeling gloomy
3 - I thought that you'd want what I want
4 - Far from all the commotion
5 - And every Jack must have a Jill
6 - Goodbye to tender nights beside the silv'ry sea
7 - While the Louisiana moon floats on high
8 - You wanted fame instead
9 - He just keeps His eye on me
10 - Yes the strong get smart
While the weak ones fade
Rick - Good to see you posting a quiz. :)
#2 - Linda?
#6 - Harbor Lights?
Marilyne, both right. It's been a rare slow night here :)
Remaining -
Music. No apparent theme. It's all over the place. I guess the theme would be "Random".

It's off to bed now. I have no idea when I'll be back tomorrow.
1: Slowpoke
5: The Morning Side of The Mountain
7: Shrimp Boats
#6..Harbor Lights
#10..God Bless The Child
Oops...Just saw that Marilyne already named #6 :-[
I will try #3...Send In The Clowns
1,3,5,7,10
Don, Angelface, Chia - All correct
Remaining - One easy, two, not so much. Two of them were hits in their day.
4 - Far from all the commotion
8 - You wanted fame instead
9 - He just keeps His eye on me
Rick - Can we name another one?
Quote from: Marilyne on March 24, 2017, 06:29:04 PM
Rick - Can we name another one?
Sure. One more. I'm guessing which one you know :)
#8..Ballerina...(Dance Ballerina Dance)
Chia, #8 is correct - Dance, Ballerina, Dance
Two to go --- one easy, one hard.
#9 might be in the C&W area
4 - Far from all the commotion
9 - He just keeps His eye on me
Rammel..Please translate C&W area ??
C&W = Country and Western.
#4: "Out on the ocean, far from all the commotion" = A Slow Boat to China
I am not exactly a C &W fan but I have an idea for the answer to the last question #9...
Quote from: Marilyne on March 24, 2017, 10:18:13 PM
#4: "Out on the ocean, far from all the commotion" = A Slow Boat to China
So it is. That is the one I thought you'd get. I think we are both from about the same music period.
Chia - Go for the last one.
#9.. Plastic Jesus????????????????????????...
Quote from: Chia on March 24, 2017, 11:24:39 PM
#9.. Plastic Jesus????????????????????????...
That's it.
So ends this effort. Summary coming up.

Hi Rammel...Thanks for putting the quiz together... :thumbup:
I thought it was about time I contributed, and I had some time on my hands.
Thanks Rick! :thumbup: I looked up the lyrics to "Plastic Jesus" . . . really funny! I've heard of it, but have never actually heard it. I'm sure it's on YouTube.
Here's one from Youtube -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am0cX9jPdfg
The one I have is by R.F. Seabury. A much better version, I believe.
It's on my puter so I might be able to send it if anyone wants it.
Well, that's a new one to me. I just had to go listen to that song. Never heard of it before. A real oldie, I guess. !!! Funny !
Joy
Good one Rammel: thanks.
Thanks, Rick!
I have a copy of the - R.F. Seabury "Plastic Jesus" on my puter. If anyone wants a copy by email, let me know. I think it's a better rendition than the others available. It's on a CD I play in the car at times. Usually gets me singing along.
Thanks all for joining in on my "Quiz".
Rammel, I have just been fascinated by the song Plastic Jesus and just found a clip of Paul Newman singing it in the great movie, Cool Man Luke
Thank you Chia - I knew I had heard "Plastic Jesus" at some time in the past, but couldn't recall when or where?
How could I have forgotten . . . Paul Newman, in "Cool Hand Luke"! :love:

4 Gaia
Angel.. I just found this in regarding #2....
Living people will not be considered at the present time. Beginning in 2018, proposals for a deceased individual will be considered three years following his/her death.
Chia, her answer was a living person and the question stipulated what kind of person shall not be honored. So her answer stands.
I'm sorry, Bubble. "Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life: the primal Mother Earth goddess. She is the immediate parent of Uranus (the sky), from whose sexual union she bore the Titans (themselves parents of many of the Olympian gods) and the Giants, and of Pontus (the sea), from whose union she bore the primordial sea gods. Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra.[3]" Actually, to me, that pretty much covered it for setting up the Greek's version of life.
#4: reads; "According to Greek mythology who was the first woman on earth?"
#4...Pandora
#5. green

Chia, you are correct for the last question, #11 and thus concludes my quiz! WHEW! :)

Thanks Angel for the latest Quiz.. :thumbup:
Great quiz Patricia! :tup:
Thanks, Patricia for that interesting quiz. Always learn something new from all these quizzes.
Joy
Thanks everyone!
Great Quiz! I had fun trying to figure out the answers!
Although I could have, I didn't Google anything, which is probably why I only got two answers! Kind of like playing Jeopardy, which we watch every day. I just love it when I know the answer to something, since my brain is sometimes recalcitrant. Some days I get in the car, drive to the corner, and have to pause to remember where I was actually headed! Whew! That is scary!
I agree as it is often fun trying to come up with something on your own! I have a daily trivia email and over the past year or so, I've maintained a 76% average. It has become one of my missions in life to raise that bar. So far at least to no avail, but I'm working on it! :thumbup:
That was a most interesting Quiz, Angel. It sometimes takes an effort to drag up memories of things you know you know but seem to have gotten buried in the dusty basement archive of the brain.
I know, sometimes you need a crane to dig that much deeper!
I just put together a new Quiz...It is a bit different than those previously presented and may prove interesting to some..

I prided myself on knowing the states and capitols but I had a little update this year. Kiran was studying them and she had a song that she played on the computer every day. I probably shouldn't have told you that. She would come in the kitchen and ask me if I knew the capitol of "whatever" and since I just heard her play the song, I answered them all. She was amazeed until I confessed.

In September 2015, another Australian snake discovered and named the Kimberley death adder, or Acanthophis cryptamydros, the snake is about 50cm long and has a diamond-shaped head.
Earlier, 2011-2012
Though Monitor Lizards have recently been discovered to be venomous, there has never been a recorded death by one of them in the USA (where they are popular pets). There have also been very few injuries reported. Injuries can come from scratches by their well-developed claws or from bites inflicted by powerful jaws, and also, of course, from the venom sipping into the wound.
Until very recently, it was believed that a Komodo Dragon's bite contained bacteria from the mouth that would cause a severe infection in the victim's blood. The Komodo Dragon would have to follow the wounded animal, sometimes for days, until the infection eventually killed the prey.
However, according to a study by Bryan Fry, an Australian biologist from Melbourne University and expert on animal venom, it seems that the Komodo Dragon actually kills its victims by injecting them with venom.

Marilyne, see my post #1261
Marilyne..Your answer is the one I have...Now for the last question...and anyone can answer it...
12. Who was the first British Prince of Wales to learn the Welsh language?
The very first person the English Crown recognized with the title, The Prince of Wales. was Owain Gwynedd. The title has been around since the 12th century. Gwynedd was only one of a few who the English Crown recognized as such. Naturally, since he was Welsh, he spoke Welsh.
The title itself, traditionally, didn't become an inherited title within the English Crown until the 14th century with Edward of Caernarfon (the future Edward II), son of Edward I. Edward II was born in Wales, but I have no idea if he ever learned to speak Welsh.
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, has learned to speak Welsh.
According to to Adrian E. Thomas in his book The Life and Times of the English Prince of Wales, the current Prince Charles became the first Prince of Wales not born in Wales to try to learn Welsh. In fact, he spoke it during his Investiture. I do remember that, and I do remember the semi-sensation that caused in the news.
Having said all of this, I have no idea who you have as the first. I should be up on my Welsh history, but I am not (My Mom was Welsh). Keep in mind that at some point and for quite a while, I forget when, it was forbidden by the English Crown to speak/learn Welsh (at least in the school systems).

Thanks All for your input... :thumbup:
Super! I see I accidentally put in George rather than Charles in my first answer. Didn't catch that.
I did some checking. By the mid-1800's Welsh was not taught in most schools and, I assume, most or all official business was in English. For the last 25 years or so, there has been an upsurge in interest in learning Welsh, and it has been gathering steam ever since. In 2011, Welsh once again gained official status within Wales.
Interesting quiz, Chia.
Thanks..Marsgal

#5 -The smallest bone in the human body >> the bone is called Stapes, and is in the ear.
Stapes is also known as the stirrup bone...
Thanks Chia for a great quizz
The Welshman I remember fondly is the actor Richard Burton. Once when he was a guest on the Johnny Carson show, he talked about growing up in Wales, and spoke in Welsh. That was the one and only time I've heard the language spoken.
Angel - Komodo Dragon, was a wild guess on my part - I hadn't seen that you had already mentioned it. I remembered seeing a special on the Science Channel or Nat Geo, about the K. Dragon. They showed lots of them, and talked about how they continue to grow until some of the old ones become huge! I don't remember that they mentioned the poisonous venom.
Chia, A part from my earlier post of 1261 which you said was wrong. "However, according to a study by Bryan Fry, an Australian biologist from Melbourne University and expert on animal venom, it seems that the Komodo Dragon actually kills its victims by injecting them with venom." Perhaps you were looking for some exact wording?
No worries Marilyne, it is listed as the wrong answer on my part.
Sharon Stone, an actress went to a zoo exhibit with her ex to see some Komodo Dragons and one attacked and injured her ex-husband rather seriously. I remember it because they divorced right after it and I sometimes did wonder.
The knowledge about their venom came about quite recently.
angel - Ex-husband of Sharon Stone . . . that would be Phil Bronstein, former owner/editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and other Hearst newspapers. A member of one of the well known San Francisco elite billionnaire families . . . which also includes Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein. (different familes of course.) I had forgotten about the Komodo Dragon incident! I guess he is none the worse for wear . . . now remarried to socialite, Christine Borders Bronstein, heiress to the Borders Books fortune.
You're right, he did recover well! :coolsmiley:
If they have kids, those children will have a good cushion to fall back on!
Oh, that reminds me. Clyde Peelings Reptileland is an authorized to breed the Komodo Dragon. It is a relatively new exhibit and they keep them behind a glass enclosure. http://reptiland.com/exhibits/island-giants/ I've been there a number of times and have the tee shirts and mugs to prove it. The last time my sister and I stopped (she had never been there), I discovered that my favorite Boa had passed on.
MarsGal, that was a really cool link! I'd like to go there as well!
Well, Angel, you can. When I was there last, he had just started his dinosaur exhibit. It looks like he expanded it some since then. I don't remember some of the display. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnuj9khVNC0 Dr. Arthur Kemp did a series of videos of the inside exhibits, this first one is of the two huge American Alligators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2sLtbsxPqY the video does not do them justice as for size, and the pit wall is deeper than it looks on the video. Dr. Kemp doesn't have any video of the Komodos though. Wonder why.
Reptileland is not a large place but Clyde packs a lot into it. His snake and poison dart exhibits are my favorites. Over the years I have seen the exhibits improve and grow. I've often seen and talked to Clyde on my visits. He is not one to hide in an office, he is out among his visitors and very willing to talk and answer questions. He never gave me the impression that he had more pressing matters to attend to than talking with visitors. Until my last visit, I could have sworn Clyde is ageless. Only during my last visit did he look a bit older. Here is a recent interview with the man himself. http://www.wvia.org/blogs/stay-tuned/salute-to-clyde-peeling/ Hope you enjoy these.
Now those videos were really entertaining! I learned a lot! Thank you! Both of my husbands were from different parts of Kentucky and I always wanted to see an actual snake in the wild. Evidently, they're very shy as they never showed or made an appearance for me but were often found just before or after my visits to the areas in various western or southern states.
I did see many alligators and snakes in zoos. One area had a well-known water moccasin living in a creek but in my visits, it hid from me! My relatives and friends thought I was crazy but coming from an area that had no snakes at the time,(There have been garter snakes seen in Juneau, probably from shipping crates.); I want to see one in a wild state. My mother, growing up in Kansas and Colorado, forbid even a toy snake in our house. She was that afraid of them.

The eyes of a lori/loris are big ------ relative to the size of it's face. A horse does have a much bigger face.

RE: 11, Theme.

Don't think that is right either. GlowWorm wasn't in a movie as far as I know.

Remaining three songs, with hints included!
5. You breathe a flame (Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra, Jeannette McDonald, dozens other vocalists.)
8: I wish that we were there, together.
10: Where every day's a holiday because you're married to me.
#10..Blue Room
Chia - Correct answer to #10 - Blue Room
I received another email from Kelly, with answers to the last two songs: Both of these are still being sung and recorded by many vocalists.
#8: There's a Small Hotel, with a wishing well, I wish that we were there, together.
#5: Lover, when I'm near you, and I hear you speak my name - softly in my ear you breathe a flame.
Thank you all for playing! I highly recommend the movie, Words and Music. The story of Rogers and Hart, is probably not accurate, but the music sequences are beautiful and fun to watch. Mickey Rooney plays Larry Hart, and Tom Drake, is Richard Rogers. June Allyson, singing "Thou Swell", is a real treat, as is Lena Horne, singing "Lover", and Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, dancing to "Slaughter on 10th Avenue". Perry Como, has a big part, playing a friend of R and H. He sings "Blue Room", and many other songs. He sure was a handsome man, when he was young! 8). Next time it plays on TCM, I'll let you all know.
1: A wondrous toy - Manhattan - Kelly
2. Seem to be happening again - Where or When - Rick
3. The flying plates - I Wish I Were in Love Again - Chia
4. it's because nobody loves me? - Spring is Here - Chia

8: I wish that we were there - A Small Hotel - Kelly
9. sang out with gusto - Johnny One-Note - Rick
10: Where every day's a holiday - Blue Room - Chia
11: Two rooms and kitchen - Thou Swell - Kelly
12: two crazy people together - Mountain Greenery - Chia
13. Heaven opens it's portals - With a Song in My Heart - Chia
14. Please adore me - Blue Moon - Junee
15: The 1948 movie - Words and Music - Junee

Junee, your answers are correct and so are your's Chia. Kalpana Chawla died along with six others when the space ship Columbia exploded on re entry in 2003. Mission control made the difficult decision not to tell them of difficulties. They had had a successful trip with many scientific discoveries and it was her second space flight.

Chia, your answers were correct however you had already taken your previous two questions.
So, I am opening the quiz to everyone else for their extra answers.
A new quiz, my first in a long while. Final questions
1. True or false? Peach pits helped save the lives of soldiers during World War I.
4. The human body is capable of how many different movements?
8. Which term means, a grammatical effect which exploits two words or expressions that sound the same or similar, but has two different meanings?
13. Is electricity matter only?
1. true and walnut shells too.
8. double entendre?
Bubble, while #1 is correct, #8 is still incorrect but you are closer!
Peach pits helped save the lives of soldiers during World War I. A) Peach pits â€" which were collected by the millions â€" were used to make the activated charcoal in the gas masks Allied soldiers wore to protect themselves against the Germans’ deadly chlorine gas attacks.
I'm off to look up walnuts.
4. The human body is capable of how many different movements?
8. Which term means, a grammatical effect which exploits two words or expressions that sound the same or similar, but has two different meanings?
13. Is electricity matter only?
While surprising, I only found this about walnuts.
"THE walnut tree is the plant version of the domestic dog or the horse. It has been a part of human life for millennia and is one of the most useful living things around. You’ll often find them near homes, churches, and pubs â€" a sure sign of a close relationship. People plant them partly because of the shade their large bowl-like canopies offer, partly because of the delicious fruit they bear and partly because they seem to ward off flies, probably due to a toxic vapor emitted by the leaves.
A natural insecticide? Yes, but it’s much more than that. The chemical responsible, juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), is also toxic to a number of plant species and to aquatic life. The tree embarks on a kind of chemical warfare to keep intruders off its patch. Most potent of all is the black walnut, found in eastern North America. Juglone is produced mainly by the roots, from where it leaches into the soil and interferes with the respiration of nearby plants, which turn yellow, wilt and eventually die. The chemical is used as a natural herbicide.
“NASA has even used pulverized walnut shells as insulation in its rocket nose-conesâ€
Is juglone harmful to humans? Although there have been reported cases of toxicity in horses, there have been none in people. It seems juglone may even have medicinal properties: Chinese herbalists have long used it to get rid of intestinal parasites such as tapeworms. The edible fruit of the walnut is certainly beneficial to health, rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids."
YOu should go to YouTube and look up the Walnut harvesting one, it is awesome!
http://www.independentri.com/independents/north_east/opinion/article_38bfb054-bcee-59e7-b32e-f56d3f4c88a7.html (http://www.independentri.com/independents/north_east/opinion/article_38bfb054-bcee-59e7-b32e-f56d3f4c88a7.html)
Tomereader, my paternal uncle Raymond, the oldest of the eight brothers and the longest lived, died last January at 106. He and his family had a nut orchard or probably still do in Washington. I know they had walnuts and I remember we were told not to touch them as the stains were permanent on clothes. Probably not that good for skin either. I learned a lot from the video and the tree shaking machine showed how canny humans can be!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv01CknUHPg
Bubble your article was fascinating on the ingenuity of man. I am a great fan of history, my degree is in Medieval Warfare and how it shaped that world and the city states. But I never knew about nuts before I saw the bit about peach pits and thought of this quiz. Thank you and thank Tomereader for telling me about all of this!
Now back to the quiz, here is a hint for #4; 2,000; 26,000; 93,000; or 700,000?
4. The human body is capable of how many different movements?
8. Which term means, a grammatical effect which exploits two words or expressions that sound the same or similar, but has two different meanings?
13. Is electricity matter only?
8. homophone ?
Sorry, rutumi, that is incorrect.
One very broad clue is that it's a form of humor.
"13. Is electricity matter only? Holding for Rick"
I'm not sure exactly what you want.
Could it be "Holes"? One theory says electricity is the movement of holes. Other theory says electrons move from atom to atom. I suppose atoms have mass. Atoms are made of electrons and protons and a nucleus (even the nucleus has a breakdown)
I'm curious about this one.
I'm looking at the question again.
"13. Is electricity matter only?". I answered "no" originally so if that's not correct "YES" must be the answer. It seems to be looking for a yes-no answer.
Rick, you had the answer, it was right in front of you.
Answer: Is electricity matter only? Electricity is a natural phenomenon that can be both invisible AND visible, both matter and energy, a type of wave made of protons or a force that cannot be seen. It can move at the speed of light... yet it vibrates in a cord without flowing at all.
4. The human body is capable of how many different movements: 2,000; 26,000; 93,000; or 700,000? Answer: 700,000 None
8. Which term means, a grammatical effect which exploits two words or expressions that sound the same or similar, but has two different meanings. Answer: Pun None
13. Is electricity matter only? Electricity is a natural phenomenon that can be both invisible AND visible, both matter and energy, a type of wave made of protons or a force that cannot be seen. It can move at the speed of light... yet it vibrates in a cord without flowing at all. None

2. Which term, noxious, or toxic implies more harm?
toxic
13. Is electricity matter only?
I would answer No. Matter has mass (I think). Electricity involves the movement of electrons.
I worded it in such a way that a simple yes or no answered the question and my error was in thinking about a more complex answer.

14.Kopi luwak is a very expensive type of what?
Marilyne, I didn't know that about the liver! For some reason, I was thinking the brain.
That must be why they say you can get by with only a partial one, (liver).
Patricia - friends of ours had a new baby who was born with a defective liver. It was beginning to fail, so the hospital performed a partial transplant. (I don't remember anything about the donor?) The baby's liver rejuvenated, and she went on to live a normal life. This was back in the 1970's, so I would guess that the surgery is even more perfected now. Remember the actor Larry Hagman? ("Dallas") He also had some sort of partial liver transplant, as did one of the men from the rock group, "Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young". I think it was Crosby?
That makes sense, thanks for that info! My daughter died in 1991 due to a benign brain tumor and recently a good friend's great-grandson died of a weak heart only a few months after birth, so we have a long way to go as yet.
My maternal aunt and uncle were under suspicion in 1951 when their baby died of SDS so medicine and attitudes don't always work as fast or as well as we would like.

Thanks for another engaging quiz! :thumbup:
angel..thanks for your comment...I'll stick to Tea :)
Thank you once again Chia! Keep up the good work! :thumbup:
Chia, another good quiz. No fancy coffee for me also.
You are welcome Marilyne... :)
Junee..Wecome among the Tea Drinkers ;)
Chia, another good quiz. Thanks.
Marilyne, who sang "You Gotta Be Taught"? I forgot all about South Pacific. It is one of the very,very few broadway plays I like.
tHANK YOU Chya
MarsGal - The song, "You've Got to be Careful Taught", from South Pacific, was sung by the character Lieutenant Cable. He and the Polynesian girl, Liat, were the ill-fated lovers. I was fortunate to see the Broadway Musical, when it came to Los Angeles in 1952. Janet Blair, played Nellie, in the traveling road company, so I didn't see the original star, Mary Martin.
Marilyne and Marsgal here is the song You've got to be taught from the writers and artist who sang it originally in the Broadway Show...Written so many years ago and so timely due to the present situation here in the United States.
You've Got To Be Taught (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAls_gUhlQw)
Chia - thank you for posting the YouTube video of "You've Got To Be Taught". A pleasure to see Rogers and Hammerstein, and hear the man who sang it in the original Broadway production. Excellent!
Marilyne...You are welcome..It is always good practice to be able to use a format that eliminates using the whole address with its dots and letters and being able to type the name of the song taught me ages ago by Mavin, Radioman.and making it possible to just click on the name itself
Radioman...You are welcome
Sorry, I came in late, but I would like to add something to:
8. Which element, previously used in the production of felt, lead to the expression "mad as a hatter"?..ANSWER..MERCURY..BY..RADIOMAN
"Workers in the felt-hat industry dipped furs into vats of mercuric nitrate solution to make them pliable for shaping. In the process they absorbed the compound through their skin and inhaled mercury vapor. The result: tremors, loss of teeth, difficulty in walking, and mental disability. Legend has it that the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was patterned after such a victim. In the United States the hatter's disease was known as the "Danbury shakes" -- after the Connecticut hatmaking city."
(from the National Geographic, October 1972, p 511)
Thanks for the added information Rutumi...So happy that the hat making industry seems to be in a decline lately...
If I recall correctly, it was decided that Name That Tune would be more appropriate if it were located in the same forum as the trivia quiz, so here goes. Two correct answers for starters.

#10: There is Nothing Like a Dame, from the musical, South Pacific
Marilyne correct on #10
MarsGal, that was the only one familiar: 5- ONLY YOU. - The Platters.

1: strike while the iron is hot
3: a man ain't supposed to cry
4: the way I feel tonight
7: you're out of sight
I'll throw it open now, so answer as many as you like.

4. the way I feel tonight by the Bay City Rollers
Turn the music way down low,
Let me see you in the glow.
In the fire light you are shining...

Let's take tonight to start out finding...
'Cause the way I feel tonight,
Everything will be alright.
I will keep your candle burning.
Oh, yes, the way I feel tonight
Everything will be alright,
And the way I feel tonight,
I love you.
etc.
They don't write songs like that any more...
Bubble, I am going for "Only the Lonely" sung by Roy Orbison for #4.
MarsGal your answer is correct
#7: Darn That Dream - Sarah Vaughn and others?
#3...I heard it through the Grapevine
Chya and Marilyne your answers are correct.
One remaining answer and here is the entire first verse.

I won't waste any time,
I'll strike while the iron is hot.
Remaining Song, I could write a book

9: that rose covered valley When The Moon Comes Over The Valley Chya
10: packages from home Nothing Like A Dame Marilyne
Very challenging quiz...thanks :)
It was challenging and yes I should have known the answers but I am the type of person who does not remember the artist or titles, only portions of songs. As a teenager, I never had posters in my bedroom of musical artists as my sisters did.
I do better on other types of trivia as I don't normally play music now except for Pandora's jazz channel at night and that is simply instrumental.
Thank you for this quiz, Don.

Let me see what Google has, Chia.
"In this article, I will be showing you how to make a crude form of aspirin from the bark of a willow tree. It is a great remedy for headaches, hangovers, and other minor pain. The use of the willow tree as a mild pain reliever goes back to the Native Americans, who used it in much the same way that I do.Feb 15, 2013"
How to Make Aspirin from a Willow Tree « Home Remedies ...
https://home-remedies.wonderhowto.com/how.../make-aspirin-from-willow-tree-014252...
Aspirin is derived from the bark of the Willow tree. Salicylic acid plus coal tar is another name for today's aspirin.
"Willow bark or other natural forms of “aspirin†are not aspirin. Willow bark yields salicylic acid. ... Also, salicylic acid does not provide pain relief. It wasn't until a chemist began looking for a use for the industrial waste coal tar that aspirin was devised.May 23, 2014"
"The ancient Egyptians used willow bark as a remedy for aches and pains, said Diarmuid Jeffreys, author of "Aspirin: The Remarkable Story of a Wonder Drug." They didn't know that what was reducing body temperature and inflammation was the salicylic acid.Dec 22, 2010"
Oops - I see that Junee, was first with the answer to #4, so I'll try another one for my second guess:
#9: HP, Microsoft and Apple all originated where? >>> In a garage
10. Peregrine falcon
re #11. Chia, could it be you are looking for White Willow?
I, like most everyone else just knew it was a willow, but not a specific willow. Salicylic acid can be found in other plants as well, including Meadowsweet which is/was used as a medicinal herbal. In fact, the name aspirin came from its old scientific name for Meadowsweet, Spiraea.

6. For the smile of beauty
9. Eventually, why not now?
12. Use your head, save your hair
#12..Fitch Shampoo
#12 Right, Chia.

#9 Eventually, why not now? A baking product
#9.. Kitchen Tested Gold Medal Flour
Close, Cia, but not quite. (Unless my memory is confused, which of course is possible.....) Seems to me it was "the other" one.

That does it. Everything's been answered correctly now. I hope you enjoyed the trip back a few years. :)
Thanks for this different quiz..Got the brain moving... ;)
#5 Pepsi Cola ...
Brings back a jingle we sang in grammar school when Pepsi was new (to us).
Pepsi cola is a rotten drink
Throw it down your kitchen sink
It tastes like water and it looks like ink
P-e-p-p-s-i colaisarotten drink!
We weren't allowed to buy it, or Coke, for that matter (even though we seldom had money to waste on soft drinks) :drink:. Soda was not good for our teeth!!!
Interesting that most of the products in the quiz, are still available, and on the shelves of most stores. I still prefer Maxwell House Coffee. :cup:
Rutumi - love your Pepsi jingle! I liked it better than CocaCola, but like you, I wasn't allowed to drink either one, because of teeth! I had braces on my teeth for about three years in the 1940's, and couldn't have candy, gum, cola drinks, or popcorn.
Most interesting!
Where I grew up we never had these ads, jingles or whatever, even though many of these products were sold in Congo.
I don't even remember hearing publicity on the local radio and of course we had no television until probably the mid 60s
