What was the name of the first James Bond movie?

On Her Majesty's Secret Service
GoldenEye
Dr. No
Octopussy

The first James Bond film was Casino Royale in 1954


Sorry but you are wrong, the first casino royale came out in 1967, five years after Dr. No in 1962. Also the first casino royale was a spoof and never reckonized as a true bond film. the question is correct as it stands.

The question was: Who discovered oxygen? Possible answers:
Michael Faraday
Joseph Priestly
Isaac Asimov
Isaac Newton
But on Wickipedia I found:
The 'discovery' of Oxygen is, still, one of the most 'heatedly' debated questions of the Golden Age of Natural Philosophy. The four leading claimants are as follows;
Michał Sędziwój, a Warsaw, Polish alchemist and natural philosopher in the late sixteenth century (c.1592). Sędziwój realized that air is a mixture of substances, one of which (later called oxygen) is a life-giving substance. He correctly equated this "elixir of life" with the gas given off by heating niter (or saltpeter, the mineral form of potassium nitrate), driving off the nascent oxygen. This very effective method of extracting oxygen is still demonstrated in elementary chemistry labs every year.

Oxygen was rediscovered by the Swedish pharmacist Carl Wilhelm Scheele sometime before 1773, but his finding was not published until after the independent rediscovery by Joseph Priestley, August 1, 1774. Priestley published his discovery in 1775, and Scheele, in 1777; consequently, Priestley is usually, and incorrectly, given the credit.

Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, working separately but concurrently with Scheele and Priestley, named the gas "oxygen." from two Greek words-οξυς (oxys), meaning acid or sharp, and γεινομαι (geinomai), meaning to engender-based on the (then and incorrect) belief that all acids contain oxygen and are formed from oxygen. Since then, the definition of an acid has been revised so that oxygen is not necessarily part of the molecular structure of every acid.

All Polish, Swedish, British and French nationals have every right to be proud of their discover(ies)

It took one day to create the world. The other 5 days were furnishings and fittings. 6 is the wrong answer.

If you mean by world the planet Earth, it was not included in the description of Genesis, which this player is refering. That was before. The 6 days was for creating the conditions for life and life itself. Hence the world we live in. So it is correct.

Although the question does not make any biblical reference. Different religious and cultures have different creation myths. The question should be re-written or removed.

I just think that ANY religion questions are asking for trouble. When was the last time religion talk resulted in peace and harmony?

just got this question.

Where is the only place you can see Polar bears and Penguins together?

North Pole
South Pole
the Equator
On christmas cards and advertisements (x marked correct)

A) this is a stupid question since the answer is not the only place you can see them together. What about books and children movies?
B) you can also see them together at the zoo.
This question needs to be deleted since it has no basis being here.

I had a quiz question about the number of days in a year, the correct answer was given as 365 - but what about leap years?

That's a very old, traditional riddle. The idea is when a human is a baby - the morning of their lifespan - they crawl - 4 legs. As an adult - afternoon - they walk on 2 legs. When they get older - the evening - they need a cane - 3 legs. A quick google search turns up the correct answer on the first result, too.

About the mentioned riddle: D00ml0rd, you should take a look at the Greek mythology and a story about Oedipus and how he saved Thebes (I'm almost sure it was this city) from the Sphinx. Well, this was a riidle tha creature asked Oedipus, and he answered correctly - a human.
