I just got this question and the answer is wrong.

Who invented the wireless remote control?
Robert Adler (marked correct)
Robert W. Bower
Ami Argand
Trevor Baylis

The author has robert adler as the inventer of theremote control which is wrong, it was actually invented a year earlier by Eugene Polley in 1955 for the Zenith corporation. the device was called the flashmatic and used photo cells instead of the ultrasound like Alder's who developed his off of Polley's design. Since polley isn't option this question needs to be changed or deleted thanks.

But as I see, this is a special knowledge also. A game-console is not common in every household around the world... Correct or delete please.

The first hot air balloon flight was in September 1783 over which European city?
Paris, France
London, England
Sicily, Italy
Helsinki, Finland

E) None of the above


Early Balloon Flight in Europe

The first public demonstration of a lighter-than-air machine took place on June 4, 1783, in Annonay, France, when Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier, two brothers who owned a paper mill, sent up an unmanned hot-air balloon. They had observed that smoke tended to rise and that paper bags placed over a fire expanded and also rose, pushed upward by the hot air. They concluded that if they could only capture what they thought was a unique gas inside an enclosed lightweight bag, this container or bag would rise from the ground. Etienne Montgolfier carried out the first experiment at Avignon, France, in September 1782, proving their theory to be sound. They had rediscovered the theory of buoyancy, which the Greek mathematician and philosopher Archimedes had discovered in the second century B.C.E.

Their original test balloon was made of paper and linen and opened at the bottom. When flaming paper was held near the opening, the bag, called a 'balon', slowly expanded with the hot air and floated upward.

The brothers tested balloons ranging in size from 40 cubic feet (1.1 cubic meters) to 650 cubic feet (18.4 cubic meters). The balloons rose from 90 feet (27 meters) to 600 feet (183 meters) in the air. After concluding that their experiment worked, they finally built a large cloth and paper balloon 10 meters in diameter and tested it on June 4, 1783, in the marketplace at Annonay. The balloon, from then on called a Montgolfiere, rose about 2,000 meters (6,562 feet) into the air.

After their success, the brothers went to Paris and built another larger balloon. On September 19, 1783, in Versailles, the Montgolfiers flew the first passengers in a basket suspended below a hot-air balloon—a sheep, a rooster, and a duck. The flight, which lasted eight minutes, took place in front of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and the French court, as well as a crowd of about 130,000. The balloon flew nearly 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) before returning the occupants safely to earth.

The next major milestone occurred on October 15, 1783, when the brothers constructed a hot-air balloon that, at the end of a tether, rose 84 feet (25 meters) into the air with its first human passengers, Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier, perhaps accompanied by the Marquis d'Arlandes. (Authorities differ on whether the marquis went on this first flight.) With a capacity of 60,000 cubic feet, Pilâtre de Rozier stayed aloft for almost four minutes. A short while later, on November 21, 1783, the first confirmed aeronauts, de Rozier and d'Arlandes, made a free ascent in a balloon and flew from the center of Paris to the suburbs, about 5.5 miles (9 kilometers) in some 25 minutes. On January 19, 1784, a huge hot-air balloon built by the Montgolfiers carried a total of seven passengers to a height of 3,000 feet (914 meters) over the city of Lyons.


So are you asking the first flight? Annonay
Are you asking for the first "passenger" flight? Paris
Are you asking the first manned flight? That was October, not September

Mods not doing homework!!!

Maybe you clicked twice on the answer button. In this case you dont see the answer of the first question, cause the system automatically accept the previous marked space for the next question and shows the correct answer for that! So you can see such lines,where are not even appeared amongst the possible answers in the first question.
Or the another option is: the question is bad, wrong answer is marked, but I doubt that, admins evaluating the questions, this can't happen...

Who was the last King of England?

The answer came up as George VI but that is not correct.

The last person to hold the title "King of England" was King William III. He reigned jointly with his wife, Queen Mary II from 13th February 1689 and, following the death of Queen Mary on 28th December 1694, reigned alone until his death on 8 March 1702. He held the titles "King of Scotland"(as William II of Scotland) and "King of Ireland" separately.

Under the reign of his successor, Queen Anne, in 1707 the crowns of England and Scotland were united, the title "King (or Queen) of England" ceased to exist and Queen Anne became Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain. She was still separately Queen of Ireland.

In 1801, during the reign of King George III, the crowns of Great Britain and Ireland were united and he became King of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

In 1922 the southern part of Ireland was partitioned and became a separate sovereign state which is now The Republic of Ireland. The six Northern counties remained part of the United Kingdom and the the King, George V, became King of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The last King of The United Kingdom was George VI, and the current monarch is his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. She is not and never has been The Queen of England.
