I think it's time for our first bonus question!

Bonus Question #1: What is the proper name of FOP syndrome, also known as the Stoneman Disease, which causes fibrous tissue to be gradually replaced with bone?

[SilentSanctuary]

All right, I guess since nobody has answered the bonus question, I'll post the next regular one later today. Maybe it was a bit too difficult...? My apologies.

[SilentSanctuary]

Well, nobody answered the bonus question, so I'll just move on. You can still answer the bonus question too, though.

Question #14: Throughout the history of cinema, only three films have won as many as 11 Academy Awards (or Oscars). Name two of them.

[SilentSanctuary]

It seems there's no answers at all... I'll probably change the question again in a couple of hours. My apologies.

[Steo]

I just don't know the answers and I refuse to look them up

[SilentSanctuary]

I just don't know the answers and I refuse to look them up

That's just playing by the rules It's just sometimes hard to estimate what to consider a difficult question.

In any case,

Question #17: What does the word "onomatopoeia" mean?

[The Jonster]

Ehh if I have this right, it’s supposed to be the sound effect that accompanies a word it follows (like a duck would have the onomatopoeia “quack”)

Not sure if it makes sense but...

[PluMGMK]

It's a word that sounds like what it means.

[SilentSanctuary]

The Jonster's answer was pretty close and it may even have been correct, but I'm not completely sure what he meant. An onomatopoeia is not necessarily a sound effect or tied into another word; as PluMGMK said, it's a word that sounds like what it means (to use Jonster's example, "quacking" sounds like the action itself, although it's not a sound effect in itself). Thus, I'd say that PluMGMK's answer is correct. Sorry if that was exactly what you meant, Jonster.

Question #18: What does the abbreviation P.S. written at the end of a letter stand for, and what do these words mean?

[LoveMetal]

Post Scriptum, it's an addition to the letter that comes after the main writing.

[SilentSanctuary]

Oh, sorry, I meant the literal meaning of those two words translated, but my bad... This is what you get for writing down questions in a high fever Anyway, I consider your answer correct.

Question #19: What was the capital of Italy in the years prior to the capture of Rome in 1870?

[Pirez]

Hmmm... Napoli?

[SilentSanctuary]

Unfortunately not. It's in northern Italy.

EDIT: You may reanswer if you so wish. If there's no new answers in a day or so, I guess I'll have to change the question once again.

[The Jonster]

Florence? I dunno if that's north.
