The film that won the Best Picture Oscar in 1992 was?
Scent of a Woman. <-- right
Unforgiven

CORRECTED. BEWARE: if you find it again, the answer will be correct now.

In Siberia a mammoth was found frozen in a glacier with a very interesting thing about it. What?
It had a half eaten fox in it's stomach
It had fresh grass in it's mouth <--
It had a collar on
It's eyes still responded to light

I couldn't find the answer to that for sure, it was a bit of a guess, so it might go down as specialist knowledge?

You are right, it’s a bit special, however I think it’s interesting, guessable and if you try to find the answer (I did) quite educational.

The other questions are also corrected/removed.

Thanks! Good to hear.
And yes, I do agree with you on the mammoth.

In what game can you solve the mystery of who killed Colonel Mustard.
Clue <-- right
Law and Order
Harry Potter Quiz
Monopoly

Colonel mustard is a suspect in the game, not the murdered victim. Also, the game is called cluedo, based on the film clue. The murdered victim was Dr. Black (if playing in the UK) or Mr. Boddy (US version).

Who is the Founder of Sun Dynasty?
Bharatavarsha
Manu
Vishwa
Parasurama


According to wikipedia, "The clan founder, Vivasvan or Vaivaswat Manu, also known as Arka-tanaya" and the answer that is marked correct, Manu: "In various Hindu traditions, Manu is a title accorded to the progenitor of mankind, and also the very first king to rule this earth, who saved mankind from the universal flood." I can't find anything linking Manu with the Sun Dynasty.

This is one of those questions that can change anytime a new movie is released, and since there is at least 1 new movie a week, this question needs either a date or to be removed.

Well you can try and read forum with them, cause this is not the place to ask that question:)

(not to be a smartass I ll answer- if you are paying premium every ancient stone you buy will turn one burn out stone into ancient as well, if you don't pay premium you can use them to build building named energy crystallizer in your clan)

What was the name of the first pinball machine that had flippers?
Livepower
Vagabond
Humpty Dumpty
Balls-A-Poppin


Notes: Flippers were already used on many games prior to 1947, but they were non-electrical, "manually-operated" bats used on baseball games, one to a playfield. 'Humpty Dumpty' is the first pinball machine manufactured with flippers that were electromechanical. According to the book Pinball 1, David Gottlieb wanted to name this game 'Flipper' but a legal check found a patented countertop game that had a manual bat, Smith Manufacturing Company's 1932 'Flipper'.

At best, ambiguous. At worst, completely wrong.

Where is the southernmost point in Continental Norway?
Lindesnes <-- right
Mandal
Kristiansand


Should be Mandal.
Mandal borders Lindesnes to the west and northwest, Marnardal to the north, Søgne to the east. It is the southernmost town of Norway and the skerry Pysen (south of the town) is the southernmost point of land.

Just checked it with the Norwegian bureau of statistics, according to their website the southernmost point in Norway is Lindesnes. If you want to check it out read http://www.ssb.no/aarbok/geografi.html

What is ironic?
an outcome that is the opposite of what you'd expect <-- right
Any kind of amusing coincidence

None of the answers were right really. It's a sarcasticy humour so the 'amusing coincidence' option was more appealing than the first, not a great question.

I can't read Norwegian unfortunately, but I took another look at wikipedia and read this:
It includes the southernmost point of the entire country, Pysen island south of Mandal, and the southernmost part of continental Norway, Lindesnes. Still a bit confusing though? I don't know.

How did they call the main character in Blade (the movie)?
Doom Bringer
Day Walker
Vampire Slayer
Day Breaker

How did this pass?? They might have used a phone.... Ok from the answers I can see that it's the name, but it's not on the list, he is called Blade. You would have to know the film to know that he is nicknamed/referred to as The Day Walker.

Edit: Corrected a typo

Perfect example of what happens when people keep submitting the same exact question. I rejected this 2 times and it appears it still made it in. The problem is that there is more than one Battle of Quebec. I know of the French-Indian wars 1759 and the American Revolution in 1775. So there may be more than that since neither of them are choices.

Just got a question that asked

What is the inside of a pencil made out of? (or something along those lines)

few answers included
Aluminum
LEAD (marked correct)

and others.


Who ever passed this question needs to look up what a pencil is made out of... because it is NOT LEAD... that means every pencil in the world would be a little toxic stick and give EVERY child in the world Lead poisoning!!


"lead" pencils are made up out of GRAPHITE!

Discovery of graphite deposit
Some time before 1565 (some sources say as early as 1500), an enormous deposit of graphite was discovered on the approach to Grey Knotts from the hamlet of Seathwaite in Borrowdale parish, Cumbria, England.[1][2][3] The locals found that it was very useful for marking sheep. This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid, and it could easily be sawn into sticks. This remains the only large scale deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form.[4] Chemistry was in its infancy and the substance was thought to be a form of lead. Consequently, it was called plumbago (Latin for "lead ore").[5][6] The black core of pencils is still referred to as lead, even though it never contained the element lead.
