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

[Greengoop]

Azerbaijan
Turkey
Kazakhstan
Kyrgyzstan
Turkmenistan

And for the regions:
Kurdistan
Dagestan
Crimea

[Rsandee]

But I said 5 other countries and you have therefore counted Kazakhstan twice
Anyone else?

[Greengoop]

Oh wow, what a foolish mistake I made

[Rsandee]

Can I replace Kazakhstan with _______?

No but I am giving you permission to edit this specific post so you don't give away the answer to the next person completely.

[Greengoop]

Happily! I’m not really desperate to earn any points anyway

[Rsandee]

You picked some lesser known Turkic regions, I'm confident that if I asked for all of them you would've aced this question too! Saying Kazakhstan twice is actually not the only mistake you made in your answer, so don't worry about that

[Greengoop]

That’s fair enough. I’m aware some of my answers have a relatively small population of Turks, but I couldn’t think of any better places

[Hunchman801]

We could add Uzbekistan to Goop's list.

[Greengoop]

Why don’t you attempt the question hunch?

[Rsandee]

Just changing Kazakhstan to another country isn't going to yield the correct answer though. Something else is wrong with Goop's list.

[Hunchman801]

Yeah my bad, I read too quickly and forgot about the second part of the question.

One of the regions is not Turkic and the other two, well, that's debatable because Turkic peoples are not a majority there.

[Rsandee]

Without elaborating too much which answer was correct and which one was incorrect, I don't mind the majority issue that much. As long as the native people there have a Turkic history and background, I'm fine with the answer. You'll have to excuse me a bit because this is very muddy water and I can't both respect the native people and the majority population within the overall country both at the same time in matters such as this.

Don't let this discourage you from answering this round though, because it should be pretty obvious which part of Goop's list is not Turkic.

[Hunchman801]

Oh sure, didn't realize I could answer again. A correct answer would be:

Azerbaijan
Turkey
Kyrgyzstan
Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan

Xinjiang
Bashkiria
Tatarstan

(Dagestan and Crimea do have sizable Turkic minorities but I thought I'd come up with other regions rather than copy Goop's list.)

Perfect! My own list switched Bashkiria with Dagestan, that's the only difference. I originally didn't think of Crimea but Goop was right, it would've counted as well.
My bad as well if you didn't think you could answer before, the question skipping rule only applies for 1 round after you answered 2 rounds correctly in a row right?

Question 16: Here is a Turkish saying: "You are at the age when Mehmet II conquered Constantinople, what are you doing with your life?" How old was Mehmet II when he conquered Constantinople?

[EdgyRabbid]

Uh, 25? just throwing around guesses

[Hunchman801]

My bad as well if you didn't think you could answer before, the question skipping rule only applies for 1 round after you answered 2 rounds correctly in a row right?

Yes it does, the reason I wasn't sure is because I thought my rushed remark about Uzbekistan might count as an answer already.

Question 16: Here is a Turkish saying: "You are at the age when Mehmet II conquered Constantinople, what are you doing with your life?" How old was Mehmet II when he conquered Constantinople?

I know the city was taken in 1453, but as for the age of Mehmet II at the time... 33, maybe?

[Rsandee]

Yes it does, the reason I wasn't sure is because I thought my rushed remark about Uzbekistan might count as an answer already.

Honestly it might should've, but you managed to slip that one by me. If it would have been correct, it wouldn't have counted for an answer either though.

None of the answers so far have been correct, if the question hasn't been answered correctly by tomorrow I'll tell everyone who's closest!

[Greengoop]

Was he 29?

[Rsandee]

Nope!

[Greengoop]

Can you give us a clue?
