7. Bien du Patrimoine Mondial - Kluane/Wrangell-St. Elias/Glacier Bay/Tatshenshini-Alsek

4) Which word would you find on a cider label that tells you it is sweet?

Cider is a very french thing. So I would guess that the french word for sweet would appear pretty commonly on the label of sweer cider,

So I say Doux

7) What is the largest UNESCO world heritage site in the world?

I say great barrier reef.  ;D

4) Well, like Yetihunter says, if it's a French import, it'll more than likely be cidre doux. But that's French ciders, and I'm not aware of, say, Aussie sweet ciders being labelled "doux". Perhaps, "house" or simply "sweet".

7) Collectively, the Kluane, Wrangell-St Elias, Glacier Bay and Tatshenshini-Alsek parks in North America.

9) Aside from all being famous and from the Northern Hemisphere, I got nothing.

4. Doux
7. Kluane National Park and Reserve (in Canada, no?)
9. Eek... They all married their cousin

4) My only other answer here is 'sec'. But that's with reservations, since cider isn't especially french. My Strongbow bottle here still says just 'sweet' :p

question 9. ...... they all married their cousins

question 4. ..... unfermented

Eeekkk is that right??
 

it looks like every question has had a right answer (not that I know for sure)(although I am really unsure about the cider one)

now we just have to wait for Cometgurl to show up

Ok guys and girls,

I have to apologise for how late I have been in responding. It has been a busy few days.

Also it seems to forgot to specify that I was in fact referring to French cider. Doux is the answer I have written on my piece of paper. I will award it to the both the people who said Doux unless there is a major objection.

So here are the results as far as I can see.

1) Kevin Crease recently passed away. He once appeared in a music video dressed in boxer shorts and a singlet for which band? Roy


2) What is an Arabic word for small town or village, with six letters ending in an "A"? Kimbo

3) Here is one for the LOTR fans. 'Three rings for the Elven kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-Lords in their Halls of Stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his Dark Throne. What happened to the Seven Rings given to the Dwarf-lords? The Prune

4) Which word would you find on a “FRENCH” cider label that tells you it is sweet? Yetihunter +Cyberjunkie

5) Mao Tse Tung went on a march. What do we call the march he went on? The prune

6) Ghandi went on a march. What do we call the march he went on? Roy


7) What is the largest UNESCO world heritage site in the world? I_like_thursdays

Louis Pasteur has been accredited with the development of three major vaccinations. What the three diseases do these vaccinations prevent? Roy

9) What do all of the following people have in common:
    Franklin Delano Roosevelt ?
    Albert Einstein
    Mary Stewart
    Queen Victoria
    Saddam Hussein
    Catherine the Great
    Jerry Lee Lewis Kerrie


10)How many countries are larger than Australia? Roy


SO the score so far is

Roy – 4
The Prune – 2
Kimbo – 1
Yetihunter – 1
Cyberjunkie – 1
I_like_Thursdays – 1
Kerrie – 1


Roy has an early lead but it is still anyone’s quiz.

From now on I am going to do 5 questions a round because it is too hard to mark 10 at a time.

There will still be a total of 40 questions

11) In regards to which empire was it first remarked that the “sun never sat on it”.

12) How many steps are in the stair case that leads from registry rd (where the buses arrive) to the front of the registry?  (you have to actually work for this one)

13) Flinders university might have been a very different place if it wasn’t for Sussannah Ward. Despite her long lasting influence over the university she has never heard of the university. Who is Susannah Ward and how would Flinders uni be different if it wasn’t for her.

14) What is the highest officially recorded temperature in Australia and where was it taken?

15) The pie floater is a South Australian Icon. In what famous novel has the pie floater made a cameo appearance?

11) In regards to which empire was it first remarked that the “sun never sat on it”.

British

12) How many steps are in the stair case that leads from registry rd (where the buses arrive) to the front of the registry?  (you have to actually work for this one) Will check tommorrow, but i think about 14

13) Flinders university might have been a very different place if it wasn’t for Sussannah Ward. Despite her long lasting influence over the university she has never heard of the university. Who is Susannah Ward and how would Flinders uni be different if it wasn’t for her. NO IDEA

14) What is the highest officially recorded temperature in Australia and where was it taken?

15) The pie floater is a South Australian Icon. In what famous novel has the pie floater made a cameo appearance?
Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel "The Last Continent"

I would like to query question 7:

"The Great Barrier Reef is undisputed as one of the world’s most important natural assets. It is the largest natural feature on earth stretching more than 2,300km"

"Bien du Patrimoine Mondial - Kluane/Wrangell-St. Elias/Glacier Bay/Tatshenshini-Alsek - The four parks depicted on this map make up a single World Heritage Site that covers 24.3 million acres. Together, they comprise the largest internationally protected land-based ecosystem on the planet."

Now I don't know how to convert acres into km but I do know 24.3 million acres is larger than 2,300km.

14) What is the highest officially recorded temperature in Australia and where was it taken?
Oodnadatta, South Australia, 2 January 1960, 50.7C

it is 2,300km long. Not 2,300 km total area.

it's area is in fact 344,400 km²

1km²=247.105381 acres
 
thus the area of the great barrier reef is 85,102,962 acres

13) Flinders university might have been a very different place if it wasn’t for Sussannah Ward. Despite her long lasting influence over the university she has never heard of the university. Who is Susannah Ward and how would Flinders uni be different if it wasn’t for her.
If it werent for Sussannah Ward, Matthew Flinders would not have been born. Therefore Sussannah Ward is Matthew Flinders mum, if he was not born there would most probably be no Flinders Uni

11) In regards to which empire was it first remarked that the “sun never sat on it”.
scrub my last answer, SPANISH  ;D

wow that is pretty much all the questions. That round really didn't last long at all.  :D

Wow, ok i take back my query :P

12) How many steps are in the stair case that leads from registry rd (where the buses arrive) to the front of the registry?  (you have to actually work for this one)
Well actually depends where you start counting the steps from... and where you're calling the front of the registry. If the registry is where you pay your bills and parking permits etc. then the answer would be 4. ??? If you're talking about going up to the coopers bar then there's 2 lots of stairs cases. One small one that goes up to the bank etc. then the next lot that goes up to the bar and library etc.

11) In regards to which empire was it first remarked that the “sun never sat on it”.
kimbo - Spanish


12) How many steps are in the stair case that leads from registry rd (where the buses arrive) to the front of the registry?  (you have to actually work for this one)


13) Flinders university might have been a very different place if it wasn’t for Sussannah Ward. Despite her long lasting influence over the university she has never heard of the university. Who is Susannah Ward and how would Flinders uni be different if it wasn’t for her.
Roy - If it werent for Sussannah Ward, Matthew Flinders would not have been born. Therefore Sussannah Ward is Matthew Flinders mum, if he was not born there would most probably be no Flinders Uni



14) What is the highest officially recorded temperature in Australia and where was it taken?
Roy - Oodnadatta, South Australia, 2 January 1960, 50.7C


15) The pie floater is a South Australian Icon. In what famous novel has the pie floater made a cameo appearance?
Kimbo- Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel "The Last Continent"

There is only one registry and only one registry rd. if you don’t know where they are then check a map.

You have misread the question Roy. I think you are think that I am asking how many staircases are between the bus stop at FMC and the plaza. That is not the question.

that set of stairs has 9 steps  :)

totaly right.

this brings the scores to

Roy – 6
Kimbo – 4
The Prune – 2
Yetihunter – 1
Cyberjunkie – 1
I_like_Thursdays – 1
Kerrie – 1

roy and kimbo are well and truly in the lead.

The next 5 have a very Australian theme.

16)Name the only person to be awarded both the Australian of the Year and Young Australian of the Year titles?
17) Who won consecutive Gold Logies in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000?
18)Who designed the Sydney Opera House?
19)Where was Ned Kelly’s last stand?
20)What are the ingredients for the filling in a Ned Kelly pie? (You need at least four of them)



The Theme for the next five questions will be “Sturt campus”

16.

17. Lisa McCune, Blue Heelers, Seven Network

18. Jørn Utzon
19. He was hanged at Melbourne Gaol in 1880



{Prune posted prior to this edit}
20. THE "NED KELLY": Savoury mince with a wall of mash potato and whole egg over leg ham and onion in the well with a cheese melt over.
{/edit}

16) Cathy Freeman

19)Where was Ned Kelly’s last stand?
Glenrowan

20)What are the ingredients for the filling in a Ned Kelly pie? (You need at least four of them)
Beef, bacon, cheese, egg (but no doubt there are variations between different bakeries)

20> egg, bacon, cheese and tomato

Well that round was quicker than the last.

It seems to be now who reads the questions first wins :P

how come you always manage to show up within 30mins of Cometgurl posting the questions

Admin, well firstly prune does not have question 18
secondly my question 19 is different to the prunes
thirdly when i clicked modify the prune hadn't posted therefore i didn't realise

Ok well from now on to make it fair no modifying messages in the quiz threads. If that means you post each question as you find it, then so be it.

Roy, you can have the opera house one, assuming it's correct :p, I didn't answer that question. Question 19 our answers are different anyway, and my Ned Kelly pie has no potato in it whatsoever!

And if you want to change your answers or add more answers, perhaps put it in a new post, to avoid confusion like this?

I think Kimbo has probably got a good idea.

Guys, to ensure that there is no comfusion about who posts first make sure that you don't leave posts open for ages or modify posts.

post each response as a seperate post if you want.


Roy- my bad, I will give you back 18, but prune did have the other two up first. :)

Yes I agree and understand and will be doing that from now often to make sure someone doesnt quickly get in before me.

I'd like all my answers to stand though as they're all different to the prunes. Although if the prune is right on question 20 then they can have the point on that one. But if it needed to have potato then that's a different story.

I'd still like question 19 to stand though its a different answer to the prunes. And you can put my quesion 20 after theirs as it's also different.

Thankyou

look at the change I have made to your post.

are you happy with that?

That way Cometgurl will know who posted what first and she can decide who has the "right" answer

{edit}
I assume that thank you was because you have already seen it


cool, glad that is cleared up. have fun
{/edit}

Yes I am happy admin hence the thankyou :)


Sheer fluke I guess. I've been out all day and just got home, hopped on my laptop and saw there were new questions so quickly found some answers.

WOW

that did go fast, I am going to have to check back more often.

16)Name the only person to be awarded both the Australian of the Year and Young Australian of the Year titles? The prune   (Cathy Freeman  in 1998 and 1990 respectively)

17) Who won consecutive Gold Logies in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000? Roy  (Lisa McCune)

18)Who designed the Sydney Opera House? Roy  (Jørn Utzon)

19)Where was Ned Kelly’s last stand? The Prune (Glenrowan)

20)What are the ingredients for the filling in a Ned Kelly pie? (You need at least four of them) The Prune  

The answer I had for this question was as follows “The exact ingredients of Ned Kelly pies vary depending on the baker however the three common ingredients are egg, ham or bacon and cheese. Additional ingredients often includes beef mince, tomato, parsley, and  potato. The prune was the first (apparently) to post an answer with the three main ingredients and an additional ingredient.

I'll have a stab in the dark and say brittania (spelling may be wrong) but I think that's the round about you're talking about with the "not the most amount of exits or most traffic". Plus I'm sure I know of larger round abouts, I just cant think of where.

http://www.unisa.edu.au/news/2006/061006.asp

It was a wild stab, caus I needed the last point to take the win :P and that was the last option i could think of. Had no idea if they had a law course or not.

It looks like The prune is the winner.
Here is the trophy. Roy is on it because he won the last quiz. But the latest inscription is “THE PRUNE”
(http://i13.tinypic.com/63v3kom.jpg)
 

For all I knew, she could be studying externally at an interstate uni :p

Anyway, now I've won I'm gonna rest on my laurels and probably won't contest the next quiz ;D

^^^ no the rule is if you're the previous winner you MUST contest at least the next quiz. It's a way of giving people the chance to win it back off you. If you don't enter they don't have the chance to beat you.

The next quiz won’t be 4 a while. I have some major assignments due this week and I plan on actually getting them done. :)

  fair enough, keeping up with uni might be an idea

ok cometgurl, you have had a long enough break.


Time for a new quiz. Get back to work
