jayseven Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 4. Centrifugal 11. The Lives of a Bengal Lancer 12. Water Displacement 19. Scotland, not Ireland. Bored now. I'm guessing some of these questions are QIesque red herrings, but hey. Wiki/googling these isn't hard :P You say to do it without googling, but if you don't know the answers what do you suppose we do, go to the library?

The fish Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 4. Centrifugal Fail. There's no such thing as 'centrifugal' force, that's a basic year 10 error you've done there. 4. The Centripetal force 6. Italy 10. On a elemental basis, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon and Hydrogen. 12. Water Displacement 18. Egyptian by nationallity, but here family was Hellenistic (Macedonian specifically), from a place which is now part of Greece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are QIesque, but all are from memory, so they might be wrong. Ill post the answers when i see most of them getting an answered. Im suprised no one got number 2. 19. Scotland, not Ireland. Neither of them, but it is the same place as stilts were invented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 3. The Queen 6. If this is indeed the same as the place where the kilt came from, then I believe it's either Greece or Persia. 9. Probably about 36 years old or something. 14. It doesn't have one. It's just a statue. It was supposed to inspire hopes and desires into the head of immigrants who saw it when coming to New York but now the first thing they see is a giant pink elephant. 19. Greece or Persia. History has it all wrong in thinking we Scots came up with the kilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been nice for you to explain the difference to me once you F'd me Sorry about the rather aggressive manner, and the lack of an explanation. Centrifugal force is a fictitious force that proposes that things travelling in a circle experience a force outwards. Centripetal force exists, and is a force which bodies travelling in a circular motion experience towards the central point about which they are travelling.

I'm not sure if it's his favourite movie, but he was ironically fond of The Great Dictator. And for #17, I'm going to take a shot in the dark and go with Dubai.

weeyellowbloke Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Kilts and stilts was Holland. The land around there is very low lying and prone to flooding and so farmers came up with stilts to get around their flooded fields.Kilts were invented so they had something to rhyme with stilts in their songs. 14. Was it a lighthouse beacon? 5. Due to some bizarre definitions could it be the chickpea? 3. Drowning? 2. Is it a marmoset? All the above are complete guesses and I'll be surprised if any are right.

Ganepark32 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I know for a fact that kilts came from a country in or around the mediterrean or in the middle east. For some reason, they had nothing to do with the Celts. But if I rememebr correctly from watching QI, it should be Persia even though you've said it's wrong.
