Considering he's both Grey & White, I'm guessing he'd be a good candidate for "Just for Men" hair dye

What does the Greek phrase "Ta biblia" translate to?
Scroll
Little papyrus books
Old book
Article

Well I don't claim to be an expert in Greek, but from the descriptions I have been able to find, google translate, and an on-line dictionary "ta" translate to "the" and "biblia" translates "books". The word "biblia" comes from biblion, diminutive of biblos ‘papyrus’.

So the correct translation should be "the books" (or as is also the case "the Bible")


When you start a game, you...?
...have a level 1 low damage spell
...have no spell at all <- marked as correct
...have a choice whether you want mace or a low damage spell
...have a level 1 spell that decreases your opponent's attack

That depends on what game you're talking about! As the question is formulated it makes no sense at all. The answer could be any of the 4 answers or something entirely different.

The 2nd option should be The European Union, and then I'd say it was ok, though the EU doesn't officially have a capital city. The parliament moves between Brussels and Strasbourg, other central functions are placed in other cities.

But, as you say, it is not the capital of Europe or the EU.

Maybe the answer should be 'sprouts'?

Yes they do, though you'd probably never hear of them. Some bands play for years and even make a living playing without ever recording anything, or publishing it.

Which color is not an actual color according to scientists?
Black

Ambiguous:
In pigment - white is the absence of color, black is the blending of all colors
In light - white is the blending of all colors, black is the absence of color

Since the question doesn't indicate, either option is viable.

what was the last American warship sunk in WW2 ?
USS Enterprise
USS Indianapolis
USS Shark
USS Hornet

The last Navy ship to be officially recorded as being sunk by enemy action in WW2 was the USS Bullhead (SS-332), on 6 August 1945, the day Hiroshima was attacked. A Balao-class submarine, the Bullhead was sunk by engagement from a Japanese Army aircraft, which dropped depth charges on the Bullhead, claiming 2 direct hits. The geographic area she was in when sunk is believed to have reduced her radar range, and thus prevented her from detecting the plane until it was too late.

Though the initial answer to this question mentioned the Indianapolis, that answer is incorrect. The Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese submarine on 29 July 1945, over a week prior to the Bullhead.

Before anyone says anything to the contrary, a submarine IS a warship!

Plus, to a scientist, color refers only to the perception in the eye and the brain, so both black and white are actual colors. For light, a scientist would use the term wavelength, not color. As an illustration, what are the colors of the infrared spectrum? The question is meaningless, because the human eye and brain can not perceive those wavelengths. But to a scientist, those are just different frequencies of the exact same thing as visible light.
