Here you can post trivia questions and have other users try to guess the answers. I'm kinda a history trivia nut. Useless triva, I like too. Anyways, I'll start...




1. On what day of the week (Sun, Mon, Tues, etc.) was the picture of Abraham Lincoln on the front of the five dollar bill taken?

2. How many stars are there in Starbucks logo?

3. Who was the first president of the Rebuplic of Texas?


Press on! I'm out...

1. Which 5 dollar bill?
2. Three
3. Sam Houston (Something tells me the obvious solution is not the correct one, but oh well. Moses Austin?)

Okay...

1. What do the "W" and "K" in all radio call letters stand for?
3. Where is the largest concentrated Greek population outside of Greece?
4. How long does it take to walk around the Pentagon?
5. What happened to #2 ?

[Zimick]

hmmm...

Well you got the Starbucks stars question correct. I know that because I am in there like every other night. Umm... as far as the $5 bill question... The old $5. (Is that what you mean? Are they even different pictures? I'm a poor college student and I don't have any cash to check...) Sam Houston was the first president of the Republic of Texas.

As for yours...

1. This is interesting that you should ask this, because I am a Mass Communications major at Middle Tennessee State University and I am in an Intro to Electronic Media class. Anyways, the other day we were talking about the first radio stations... and I almost asked what those call letters meant... I didn't though. I need to do a little research to find out...
2. "I'm still here - nothing happened to me!" -quote from #2
3. I'm not quite - maybe... no... I really don't know.
4. Would it not depend on how fast you were traveling?
5. (see #2)




More questions...............

1. What play was being presented the night that Lincoln was assasinated... and who was it written by?

2. Which president has received the most electoral votes in one elction?

3. Who is the youngest president ever to take office?



-I'm out...

To Zimick:

1. How many counties are there in TN?

2. Who was the first govenor of TN?

3. How many allocated votes does TN have?

4. How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?


Ya'lls questions are too hard and in depth

[timio]

The call letters in the radio stations are symbolic of the country they are in. The US has W and K as their first letters. Canada has C's as theirs. CHOK. CHUM. CHFM, etc..

It's the same for TV stations and Airplanes and Airports.

Every airport code in Canada starts with a Y. Toronto Pearson is YYZ, Toronto Island is YTO, Edmonton International is YEA. Vancouver is YVR, etc...

The US has all the individual airport codes for some reason... NYC, LGA, BOS, PHL, PIT, HOU, DFW, etc...

1. What Very Famous Musician Is Known By His Middle Name, and Whats His First Name?

2. What Does FSB mean on a computer processor, and what does it mean?

3. What Is The Equation Of A Circle With A 5 Inch Diameter?

4. What Kind Of Smiley Is This? ----> :-!

5. How Long Did The 100 Year War Last?

6. What Natural Phenominon Can Speak Any Language?

Add on answer to the radio call sign one... K designates stations in the US West of the Mississippi river, W to stations on the East side.

More than one famous musician has gone by there middle name.

What do you mean what is the eqution?

And, uh, as much wood as a wood chuck could, etc.

[S0C13TY5F1N35T]

what is the mathmatical equation, in terms of x and y.

[Art]

Solving for what though?? If you want the circumfrence, it could be 3.1415926535897932384646(5/2)squared. I don't have time to figure it out.

[Zimick]

Hmmm... the equation of a circle with a diameter of 5 inches... Assuming that the center of the circle occurs at the origin (0,0), it is safe to say that one point on the circle is (2.5,0) and another at (-2.5,0). So, when x=0, the y value is either 2.5 or -2.5. But here is the equation without going through logically: The equation for a circle is x^2+y^2=r^2. The diameter is 5, meaning the radius (r) is 2.5. Ergo, you square 2.5 (r^2) and get 6.25. Then you plug that into the eqaution and you get: x^2+y^2=6.25.

And by the way, Peja Vu, you misquoted pi:

Solving for what though?? If you want the circumfrence, it could be 3.1415926535897932384646(5/2)squared. I don't have time to figure it out.

pi to the 30th:

3.141592653589793238462643383279


I'm out... press on!

Ya'lls questions are too hard and in depth

Let's see...
1. I do beleive there are a total of 95 counties in Tennessee. (Rutherford is by far the best, and I heard it was one of the fastest growing counties in the south - just another tidbit)
2. The first governor of Tennessee was John Sevier
3. Tennesse receives 11 allocated votes
4. Well, if indeed a wood chuck could chuck wood, I suppose it would depend on how much the wood chuck would want to chuck. But of course this question is hypothetical...




More later....

[Zimick]

ok,

What date was John F. Kennedy assasinated?

[Lyle]

To Zimick(Or anyone can answer these)


How many stars are in the big dipper?

What do you call a front that comes over a mountian and creates a storms?

How many fingers am I holding up???:ktongue:

Well...
1. There are 7 stars in the big dipper...
2. I have no idea, but I would like to know... if you could post the answer, that would be cool
3. probably none, seeing that the letters that it took to compose the question you asked require the use of both of your typing hands (if you type in the correct manner) therefore, your fingers were prabaly all curved in a downward fasion. But if not technically... I would guess three...


Here is another
Since there have already been two trivia questions on stars, here is another:

How many stars are in Paramont Pictures's logo (the one with the mountain that has the stars circle around it)?


Try to find it if you dont know...


Later. Press On.
