I can't remember the fine points of yesterday, literally, but still got 40 correct. So it seems they are just trying to make us old folks happy. I did manage to complete every crossword from the NY times in 2019. Some took a couple days, but I was bored, so I made it my mission. I don't know how that relates to this quiz, but maybe someone knows what repeated seizures can do to short term memory? I'll probably forget to check reply's, though. Have a great day folks, and don't worry about me. I still have 13 teeth that I haven't broken out yet, so I can still eat meatloaf, and I love me some meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy! Down to 113 pounds from the cancer, so it shouldn't be that long for me now. Have a great day and God bless you and yours, and wish for a more harmonious society where medical care is a right, and not a privilege. Thanks!

Whitestar was😮 an English firm based in Liverpool, although she was built in Belfast. So that would be the English contribution. Ireland as a whole was part of the UK until 1922, so yes, it was built in the UK, when Ireland separated in 1922 and became a Republic, Northern Ireland chose to stay with the UK. So Northern Ireland ( but not as NIreland, just Ireland) was part of the UK when the Titanic was built.

Yes, all were used extensively but the Spitfire had the most built and used in WW2 by quite a number. Some 20k spitfires with the others several thousands less( around 40% less). As with many IQ questions all options are true but one is always more true than the others. ALL were used extensively but obviously if there were 20k spitfires and the other 2 planes totalled just 20% or so more the spitfire WAS the MOST extensively used so the correct answer. Tricky but true.

Here are some numbers with production years: • P-40: 13,700+, 1939-44 • P-51/F-51: 15,500+, 1940 (but not fielded until 1942 with the RAF) to 1946. • P-47: 15,600+, 1941-1945 • FW-190: 20,000+, 1941-1945 (and the French even produce some after the war) • BF-109: 34,200+, 1937-1945

things like this are really disheartening and makes it really apparent why people call AI intelligence. It isn't intelligent at all, not even close to being able to problem solve and likely never will be able to in our lifetimes...yet, people think otherwise because it can spit known facts back at them quickly. That process is memory recall, it is NOT problem solving/intelligence. This basic misunderstanding is rooted in people mistaking memorizing trivia and intelligence. They are the apples and oranges of the mindscape.

Yes, however the spitfire was by far used more as more were built by around 40% more than either of the other 2. In total around 44000 was built of all 3 models whilst the spitfire alone totalled around 20000 built so the total of the Bf109/B17 was around 24000 so spitfire was 45% of the total built of all models and therefore the MOST extensively used.

We're interested in what's going on in the world because it affects us here as well. GENIUS Please make one that's a bit harder. And not USA focused like most quizzes are.

@@1ponsford Fahrenheit and Celsius have very different applications. For measurements in terms of human exposure Fahrenheit is better. At 0F salt will just barely melt ice; at 100F humans seek cooling to prevent heat problems. For other measurements Celsius is marginally better; the scale rate is okay but putting 0 as the temperature at which water freezes is not any better than the 0 point of Fahrenheit. For physics, Kelvin is the scale of choice. Of course, we got Celsius from Republican France. They also gave us meters, a ten month calendar, and the short-lived decimal time system with 100 seconds per minute, 100 minutes per hour, and ten hours per day. There are 86,400 standard seconds in a day and 100,000 decimal seconds in a day. Now, for a _real_ trivia question: why are there 5280 feet in a mile? Time's up! It is not possible to divide a square kilometer field equally among three buyers. 5280 is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 22, 24, 30, 32, 33, 40, 44, 48, 55, 60, 66, 80, 88, 96, 110, 120, 132, 160, 165, 176, 220, 240, 264, 330, 352, 440, 480, 528, 660, 880, 1056, 1320, 1760, 2640, or 5280. It seems in the real world division is as important as its reciprocal, multiplication. Base ten number systems, seen among ancient Sumerians, was useful for counting on fingers but not much else.

How much can a question about room temperature be considered as science anyway. It's more of a cultural thing. But, as you noted the difference between F and C, I noticed something a few years ago you might find interesting. Did you ever wonder why 98.6 F is considered body temperature, even though virtually no one has that temperature? (Mine is usually about 97.4). I think it's because it was established in research done outside the USA and therefore is in Celsius, and is the maximum normal temperature not indicating a fever. Converted to C 98.6 is exactly 37 degrees. I don't think that's coincidence and I also don't think it was meant to be an average, but a max normal.

Q45 was another that I, as a mere Brit, was unable to immediately answer, because we neither have that national day nor do we spell it Labor!

ALL IQ tests are subjective and disadvantage different people. If you are a gifted mathematician you will excel in most IQ tests yet could be deficient in many other areas of knowledge but your math will still get you a high score whereas you may be proficient in 10 other areas but poor in math and therefore score much lower than a proficient mathematician. NO IQ test I have seen to date (am 71) fairly tests anyone's IQ or intelligence in total. Most concentrate on reasoning ability and these require high math ability to excel in. Have seen many Mensa high rankers with very poor life skills etc and many dropouts who are far more successful in life and business than Mensa members. Everything is relative. For example, many people with profound disabilities are gifted in other aspects that able bodied people are not. Conversely many highly intelligent people who score well in IQ tests are pretty dumb in other aspects of life. We should celebrate all people as special as we are all unique as we are all different. We are not equal in all things. It is this mixture on people that makes the world such a diverse and challenging experience for all of us. Celebrate your good points and work hard to improve those areas where you may be lacking and EVERYONE benefits. And lets work together for all humanity to advance to its full potential.
