NICE, 2 bugs at the same time, lucky?

 

[TTRM]

Not nearly as noticeable delay on Q1 today as usual. If anything, I'm not sure there even WAS a delay this time around.
Everything went smoothly today. Nothing to report whatsoever.

Gotta say though.... the answer to H5 suddenly hit me like a brick. Could just as well have had one taped to my hand... *facepalmOUCH*


Edit:
There is one thing worth mentioning though...
While the answer to Q6, according to the hint, is clearly Isaac Newton, the true answer to the actual question is not. Man has known about the concept of gravity since well before Newton concluded on it.
For instance, Aristotle a had crude understanding of the concepts of gravity already back in the 300's BC

edit 2: minor typo

Almost clicked Louis Armstrong on Q7 because my dumb brain saw it first and immediately went: "There! Armstrong! That's the one! No need to check all the answers."

BTW, "Cake is a lie" is not about Portal (or not only) - it's also about Marie Antoinette and her infamous frase (which she never actually said).
Things I learn because of quizzes...

Louis Armstrong. Neil Armstrong. Lance Armstrong. All of these.

Just like the fiddle that Nero supposedly played apparently wasn't even invented yet.

 

[TTRM]

Umm.. cheese?

Ah, the humble cheese. The one substance in life that none can ever have too much of.
As of such, there's a little known rule in grammar that the word "cheese" can not occur after the word "too" if the word "much" intercepts immediately inbetween these two words...

Wait, you can say "There can't be too much cheese!" I sense an exception lingering somewhere around here.

Indeed... for every rule, there is an exception. This is well examplified in grammatical rule #3295.2, subsection B: "Every rule shall consist of a beginning, a middle and an end, so as to..."

Though Chell might perceive it as a lie, the cake does actually exist in-game.

Keep up the good work, I am glad that the interest here in education, knowledge & information is high.

My kind of early bird.

One word: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Is this word from language of birds? Sounds familiar to me.

Nah... It's a hint from one of the earliest quiz-rounds.

Where's...*rolls head on keyboard* Llanfair-pwllgwyngyll-gogery-chwyrn-drobwll-llan-tysilio-gogo-goch?

 

[valike13]

Good quiz, thanks!

 

[HoangMarcel]

Got all right except the Java one. Thanks for the quiz!

 

[DeathStalker068]

great quiz

 

[AquaKettleCompare]

Hints were more troublesome than the actual questions (except "Microsoft languages" one, that was oddball), so this was a good quiz, I guess

 

[TTRM]

No technical issues to report.


H10 doesn't make sense to me at all....
And after the question appeared, the hint made even less sense.
Sure, the question itself was easy enough, but I still fail to grasp what's up with the hint.

No payout for me today anyway though; Realized the correct answer to Q4 a bit too late (no pun intended)
