Indded, thank you Dark. We should really root the few remaining out and either change or delete them. Keep them coming

Thank you for your help; questions here are mostly corrected or deleted.

From these answers I (and most of the players) feel Sally better, however I read it in my daughter’s English book as „She sells seashells by the seashore.” It’s an even better tongue twister like that.
So you are right, there were more than one possible answers.

How about this one?

What is Belgium?

a) A state
b) ?
c) A city
d) A country.

Surely it is both a state and a country?

What is an angel's mental gender, according to scriptures?
Female
Male
Hermaphrodyte
Androgyne <- marked as correct

From what I have been able to find, and from what I know of the Danish translation of the Bible angels are mostly referred to as male, but not always. Some claim that Jesus said angels has no gender, but all really did was infer that they do not get married.

How is dry ice made?
By freezing oxygen gas to a soiid form
By compressing carbon dioxide gas to a solid form <- marked as correct
By importing glacial ice from the poles
By drying frozen water

The only thing correct about this answer is that dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Compressing carbon dioxide to solid form at room temperature require extreme pressure, and the resulting solid will revert back to a gas as soon as the pressure is removed, so this would not be viable method of producing dry ice.
A common method of making dry ice is by rapid decompression of compressed carbon dioxide, this causes the temperature of the carbon dioxide to drop to where it freezes.

What university did Shakespeare attend?
Cambridge
None <------
Oxford
Glasgow

another self explenatory

What was the Allies' password on D-Day ?

The correct answer in this quiz question being: mickey mouse

Yet as researched in the below article, it counters that although mickey mouse may have been used in a smaller scale, it was NOT the allies password:

8 of the 10 tallest mountains in the world lie in or on the border of which country?
China
Peru
USA
Nepal <-- right

It's referring to the Himalayas, which is on the border of both Nepal and China so there are multiple answers I think.

What percent of brain we use?
30%
6%
17%
10% <- marked right


It's been long since proven that we use far more than 10%. The way the question is written, I think the asker is using far less.

Taking this one step further, I would draw your attention to the origin of the tongue-twister.

It is about Mary Anning, hence 'she' being the original word in the poser and not any name at all.

I would suggest, therefore, that Sally, Sandy or any name must be incorrect!

What is the name of the Egyptian moon god?

Gaia
Khonsu < Marked correct
Ea
Inanna




Both Khonsu and Thoth are gods of the moon. So, incomplete question?

Which national team never wins FIFA World Cup?
Uruguay
England
France
Netherlands <- marked as correct

So the Netherlands will have no reason to play? As we cannot know anything about the future this question should not have been accepted, and if the obvious error is corrected, it needs a date.

Quote: Phalanxii - 2010.11.17. 15:47:29 There is only one answer. The Himalayas are far longer than Nepal, they stretch from Pakistan to east of Bhutan. When it comes to number of top 10 highest peaks China comes in second with 5.

Of the 10 highest peaks 3 lies within Nepal, 4 lie on the border between Nepal and China, 1 on the border between Nepal and India, one on the border between China and Pakistan, and the last lies inside Pakistan.

Who was the Black Adder?
Hugh Laurie
Peter Sellers
Rowan Atkinson <- marked as correct
John Cleese

This one is still here!

No!!! Rowan Atkinson was not the Black Adder, he played the Blackadder. Blackadder is a real surname, in the BBC series of the same name to a fictional family/character.

This one needs a date, there are only one win between the Celtics' 17 and Lakers' 16 so it might change.


Actually the colours of the rainbow is a continuous spectrum of all colours from violet to red (white and black are not colours). Cyan is is light with wavelengths from 487 to 505 nm, and is part of the continuous spectrum of the rainbow.

What is the most used Internet browser?
Firefox <-- right
Opera
IE7
Safari

If there is an Internet Explorer 7, surely the others should be version of a browser too? Like Mozilla 3.2 or something. I think it should just be Internet Explorer. Also, I think this can change to quickly. See: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

It changes month by month and although Mozilla Firefox seems like it could be the top browser for a few months, there is no certainty.

what type of object is a crystal?
animal
mineral *
rock
plant

Actually a crystal can be both a mineral (rock), a metal and ice (frozen liquid or gas) but most of those would be classed as minerals. Some rocks are also crystals, so rock is not a good possible answer.

You are still complaining about this!

I made you look like a tool last time you brought this up - so this would be one to drop.
