Uhm, which Jupiter are we talking about? The planet was named after the Roman god Jupiter, who in turn is the Roman equivalent of Zeus, but he wasn't "named for" any Greek god.


Just a tiny little "in" to much in the question.


Neither are objects, two are geographical points and two are countries as well as islands. So basically a badly worded question.

Based on the answers this question is really which is an amphibian, as only one of the 4 answers is an amphibian. And the answer to the question is, most brightly coloured frogs and toads do. In fact they don't have to be brightly coloured to do so.


The correct definition is:
1: marked by intemperance especially in eating or drinking
2: sick from excessive indulgence in liquor

Who was condemned for saying that the sun is the center of the universe?
1st it was Copernicus was condemned and sentenced to Death for it.
2nd Galileo was condemned and sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life, for supporting it.
So actually two of the possible answers are correct, though one can be said to be "more" correct than the other.

Both salmon and many trout species go through the 4 stages fry, alevin, parr or smolts


Depending on the sources the modern day gift giving tradition at Christmas started in Turkey, Scandinavia (Norway), The Netherlands, Germany, or Italy, and pre dates the Christian Christmas.



Was there one in 2009 as well? the magnitude 7 one was January 12, 2010


Ever heard of touch screens?


Uhm not exactly, it refers to a mixture of organic molecules that one theory says is where life evolved.

1st its embryonic not embrianic.
2nd either human embryos do not have gills, or all mammals do. Actually the theory that postulates that human embryos have "gill like structures" postulates that bird and reptile embryos do as well. No biologist will claim that human embryos have gills.

So this question should never have been approved.

Most particles have mass (some subatomic particles do not) and mass cause gravity, so the correct answer to this question is Gravity.

There are other forces that can cause particles to pull towards or push away from each other, these include electrical charge and magnetism, they can sometimes surpass gravity, but gravity is the one that in all cases causes two particles to pull towards each other.

Sorry to disagree there, but Republics are for the most parts democracies, as are most constitutional monarchies, some socialist republics as well are, but Vietnam is not.
Republics have a president as head of state, how much power the president has varies. Ie. in the USA the president has a lot of power, while the German president is mostly ceremonial.
Monarchies has a monarch (king, queen, emperor, empress, sheik, etc.) as head of state, in most cases the monarch has mostly ceremonial power, while a few has more.

Democracies are ruled by an elected body, the method of election varies.
In some countries one-party or no-party systems have managed to stay democratic, but most such states tend to be democracies in name alone. (Only case I know of where it actually worked, was a short period in recent Nepali history, when the country was a constitutional monarchy, and no parties were allowed, but the congress was elected by the people, and every congressman/woman had to run for office without the benefit of a party. And even this case is debatable, as the king still had a lot of real power.)

So in short 3 of the 4 are democracies, while the last, Vietnam, is not. The Vietnamese government will undoubtedly claim to be democratic, while not many foreign governments or non governmental organisations will agree.

Actually it's a person driving any dog pulled sled on snow (including skies) this includes dog sled racing, but also delivering mail and milk, hunting, trapping, pulling freight and much more.

No no, by cell phone .... no wait if it's Coca Cola, John Stith Pemberton died in 1888, so you can't call him any more.

P.s. sorry couldn't resist. On a more serious note, yes the question does need to specify what type of coke.

I think "common" is the word here, or "wide spread", not "usual", and actually, based on what I have found on the web, I believe it's the household cat (wild and domestic).



This should either be "What is mass spectrometry?" or "What is a mass spectrometer?" 3 of the answers are "devices" while one is a method.

Shouldn't this be ... and first emperor ...?

Well wikipedia does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Time (found it with google, was the 3rd hit listed)

This has been up before, but there are more than one James Bond movie.



Erm, isn't this a bit of a specialist question, even someone who read all the Harry Potter books, had to look that one up!



This needs a date, as some new movie might conceivably be made with a different director.



At the minimum this one needs a date. To be honest I never saw that quote on a Heinz bottle..... is that only because I don't eat Heinz ketchup.

Yes he did mean Matthias Corvinus, and Rex simply means King, so the question translated to English is "Who was King Matthias?" and only one of the possible answers is a king, so I guess this questions should have been what does the Latin word Rex mean?

I said I didn't know that there were a darts game named cricket. I only voiced my opinion that changing the question to "How many darts are thrown during a players turn in most dart games?" as you proposed. As for the spacing of the answers I have no opinion, I know the answer to the other two darts games is 3.

"The main storyline of the original Dragonlance series has been written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, with multiple books written by several further authors, covering different years in between and sometimes during the main events."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonlance
The question should be: "Who created the Dragonlance universe?" or "Who wrote the original Dragonlance series?"


Reproduced? When man reproduces a tree, he makes an image or a replication of a tree. Who knows what tree kids reproduce in their drawings and paintings. I simply do not believe there is any statistical material available to answer that question. If we are talking the most commonly cultivated tree, I have been unable to find any statistics to support the claim that pine is the correct answer.


A score is 20, so could be 20 seconds, 20 meters, 20 weeks, 20 feet, 20 years, 20 millennia, or any other multiple of 20.

Not an error, just a request to people writing questions: words like famous, legendary, great etc. are used way to much, and in many cases they are at best unnecessary, and in some cases they create confusion.

Well it is, but the dart game named cricket, not the ball game, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_%28darts%29
There are many darts games, one of them is named cricket.

I didn't know this either, (wikipedia is a nice thing) so I agree that changing the question as suggested is a good idea.

Which one is a famous parfume mark?
Dolce & Gabbana <- marked as correct
Omega <- also the name of a perfume
Miyako
Rado

Dolce & Gabbana is much more than perfume it's an Italian luxury fashion house.
Omega is a world famous brand that apart from watches among other things also have a perfume under its brand.

Edit: Btw Miyako is the name of a perfume as well

Which would make two of the answers correct, the one about testosterone and the one about age.

Very few modern computers use the A:\ drive any more. But the drive lettering is OS/UI specific not computer specific. On some linux based systems no drive letters are used at all.


Actually all 4 can be made from crude oil. And 3 (and possibly all 4) of them can be made from other substances as well.

Rubber can be made from plant sap or crude oil, but as the current price of crude oil is rising latex based or natural rubber is gaining a higher share of the market.
Glue was made long before crude oil was known to the glue makers.
Plastic can be made both from crude oil, corn husks, bamboo, and other plants. Try looking up bioplastic.
Petrol: In a few years commercial viable means of producing bio-petrol might be available, bio-diesel is available now.

As the difference between number 3 and 4 on the list is not all that large this one needs a date, it may well change in the near future




Isn't this one a bit on the specialist side, I never read the book, I had to google it, so I don't know if it's apparent to the average reader.



Most likely some are made in all of those countries, but they originate in Ecuador, and Ecuador is the main producer.
