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

[Hunchman801]

Was naming them all not the question?

I don't know, is naming them all a synonym of the following to you?

Question 27: In which Central Asian countries does the majority of people speak an Indo-European language?

[Greengoop]

Aight fine, none of them speak an “Indo European” language

[Rsandee]

What do you mean nice troll? I was asking a serious question, since I thought it was a fact that Slovenia was Balkan and India was South Asia

Because I don't want this side conversation to be blown out of proportion. I felt like what I said is self-explanatory but okay.
Kashmir is in the north of India but is disputed territory, is it in the south of Asia? It's right next to Tajikistan. If Tajikistan is central Asia, why isn't Kashmir? The north of india probably has more in common with Pakistan and Tajikistan than with the southern Indian states within the country.

[Greengoop]

If Tajikistan is central Asia, why isn't Kashmir?

Tajikistan is North of Kashmir, and besides, we’re talking COUNTRIES in Central Asia, not autonomous territories. We’re not gonna reclass the position of India because of one state that is barely even considered India

[Hunchman801]

Aight fine, none of them speak an “Indo European” language

That is incorrect. Anybody else?

[Greengoop]

How about the same answer, without the quotation marks?

[Rsandee]

See? Now I regret explaining what I said in the first place because you're not even giving it any thought. It's arbitrary whether India is east, west, south or north. West to what? South to what? East to what? Now let's not waste any more words.

[Hunchman801]

How about the same answer, without the quotation marks?

No, and you're not allowed to answer again (yet) anyway.

Alright, I personally disagree but you’ve made quite a few points that I agree with

[Pirez]

I don't want to say Khazakhstan because it looks like a Borat trap, so I'll guess that only Turkmenistan is the answer.

[Hunchman801]

That is not the right answer though! Should I start giving clues?

[Greengoop]

Yes! Can we answer again?

[Rsandee]

Tajikistan?

[The Jonster]

I suggest you let everyone but Greengoop answer again so at least you get legit guesses

Joking aside since he gave away all the countries, I might as well give it a shot. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan?

[Hunchman801]

Tajikistan?

No need for a clue, this is the correct answer! Tajik is variety of Persian, while the majority languages of all four other Central Asian countries (Kazakh, Turkmen, Kyrgyz and Uzbek) are Turkic.

Question 28: What is the root-like structure of fungi called?

[Pirez]

I feel that TV shows of chefs strolling around the forest looking for mushrooms to cook are about to let me down big time but...

The base?

[Hunchman801]

That's not the answer I'm looking for, unfortunately!

[DaveRattlehead]

Mycelium

[PluMGMK]

Rhizome?

[dr_st]

Skynet?
