Just a grammatical issue, the question should be: When was André-Marie Ampère born?

Needs a date.

Sterling might actually refer to several historical silver coins, so I think it should be corrected to pound sterling. And there are more then one queen, our isn't on any pound sterling coins or notes.


The Murray and Darling rivers are part of the same river system, and join before leaving the NSW-Victoria border.

Spelling mistake, it's 'Reservoir Dogs'

I believe I have had another version of this question with the full answer: "Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson"

There is one that's more expensive, the Koenigsegg Trevita, so now the question comes down to what regular car is? If it is a car developed for driving in normal traffic, this one qualifies, though there will be only three of them produced. If it's a non-limited production car, then it doesn't qualify.

Two minor errors:

"rings" not "ring's"


Should be "consonant sound", not "letter".

But as I said both are minor.

Uhm, eh... doh! I misread born as brown

I found these two on wikipedia.org:
"Blue Whales can reach up to 33 metres (108 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons)"
"The weight of an individual 30 metres (98 ft) long is believed by the American National Marine Mammal Laboratory (NMML) to be in excess of 180 metric tons (200 short tons). The largest blue whale accurately weighed by NMML scientists to date was a female that weighed 177 metric tons (195 short tons)."

The correct answer to this one is: Qin Shi Huang
From what I have been able to find out "Huang di" means either "Ruler of Earth" or "Yellow Emperor" the first is simply the Chinese title for the Emperor, while the later is a mythical figure.


Since semolina is made from wheat there are two correct answers here.

Ever seen a brown cow or bull? I have.

Both fish oil and canola oil contains omega 3


Actually no one knows, neither the Bible, Torah, nor Qur'an tells us.... maybe I should post a question on that.


The poison in green potatoes is not called nightshade, that's the name of the family of plants potatoes and tomatoes belong to, and green tomatoes also contain a poison similar to the one found in potatoes, though it's less poisonous.


This one needs a date, though it might stand for a long time. And a minor spelling mistake the book is called Guinness Book of World Records, two n's.

A cow is a female of several species (that has borne calves), among them cattle, bull is an intact male (non castrated) of the same species, so the question isn't really wrong, just badly formulated.


Actually it may be as low as 5, due to reaction with CO2 in the athmospher, so the question should be "What pH does freshly distilled water have?"



Mario Alberto Soares was borne 1924, Portugal was a republic from 1910–1926, and a constitutional monarchy from 1834–1910, so he can't have founded that democracy. He did however take part in building the present democracy in Portugal, after the fall of the dictatorship in 1974.

currently needs to be changed to a year.


Who won the Football WC in Italy 1990?
Just a spelling mistake: Football not Footballs, and a missing "the".

This is ambiguous: what ice age? ... oh the films? they are called "Ice Age" capitalisation error, and should state that it's the films.

Wrong, there are 3 maybe 5, as I have pointed out earlier.


What can I say? Prejudice! The Vikings were more than warriors: the wikipedia describes them thus:
"The term Viking (from Old Norse víkingr) is customarily used to refer to the Norse (Scandinavian) explorers, warriors, merchants, and pirates who raided, traded, and settled in wide areas of Europe and the North Atlantic islands from the late eighth to the mid-eleventh century."


I eat pigs, so I'd say it's a food animal.


This number changes regularly as new countries/nations/states (call them whatever you like) join the EU, so a date is surely in order.


Actually it was in India not Persia.


Depending on the source it was either the Spartans (Greek) or the Romans.

This morning (around 7:30-8:00 server time) I could not connect to world 1 or access the forum, all I got was a server not found page, world 2 worked fine though.

I kept trying till I had to leave. Apart from missing duelling opportunities, my pet missed 6 hours in the kennel as I could not send him there, and did not have the opportunity to log on till this afternoon.

Three problems with this:
1st: The question states that "the king cobra is the deadliest snake" some agree some don't. Actually deciding which snake is the deadliest depends on the definition, but as it is among the deadliest snakes, it's a minor issue.
2nd: The king cobra can inject large amounts of venom, either through a single or multiple bites, this makes the first option a possible correct answer.
3rd: death is within 15 minutes (but typically 30-45 minutes) according to wikibedia, not 2.

UFC? eh... what's that? know of UFOs but that has nothing to do with sports.

Against what opposing team did Babe Ruth hit his first career home run?

Boston Red Sox was given as the correct answer, but he played for the Boston Red Sox when he hit his first career home run, against the New York Yankees. (He was later traded to the New York Yankees)

True, but they also use hexadecimal, and decimal. If computers were the CPU only, binary would be the only correct answer.



Not quite a gas giant orbiting approximately 0.1 AU of it's parent star is indeed a hot jupiter. But so is one that orbits closer or further out: "the planets referred to as hot Jupiters orbit between approximately 0.015 and 0.5 AU of their parent stars."



Otaku (おたく / オタク?) (oh-tah-kooh) is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, or video games.

In that case I guess the only "error" is that the question is worded to suggest that all are amphibians, if you had worded it: "Which of these is a brightly coloured amphibian that...." I would not have misunderstood it.



They might have an injury to the cervical portion of the spine, but they might also have suffered brain damage.
