The Teensies' General Knowledge Quiz – Season 13 – Reese Riverson

[PluMGMK]

Not quite.

[Steo]

Is it for those vowels that are pronounced differently like in Irish a vs á for example?

[PluMGMK]

It's for long vowels indeed! Now I just need someone to give me the correct name. All may reanswer.

[Steo]

Judging by Jonster's clue SZ is all I can think of

[The Jonster]

Erszett?

[PluMGMK]

You're very close…

[Aaron]

Erszet?

[PluMGMK]

Aaron was right to remove a letter, but he removed the wrong one.

[The Jonster]

Aaron was right to remove a letter, but he removed the wrong one.

Nooooo I know which one!

[Aaron]

Ersett?

[PluMGMK]

Aaron removed the wrong letter again. All may again reanswer.

[Aaron]

Erst?

[The Jonster]

The answer is ESZETT (had the extra r for some reason..)

[PluMGMK]

Yes, ß is named eszett and represents the unvoiced "S" sound after a long vowel (or a diphthong). Lovy would definitely have been able to tell me all this had he been around.

Question 13: If I were to go about solving a cubic equation, how many different solutions would I expect to get, in general?

Three it is!

Question 14: Which performer had their song interrupted by a stage invasion during the recent Eurovision 2018 final?

[Ray502]

SuRie.

[PluMGMK]

Yes! The one performance for which I happened to be out of the house, so I didn't actually see it. (Yes I know I could look it up on YouTube but it's not the same as seeing it happening live…)
