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

[Rsandee]

Mycelium

Guessing this is correct.

[The Jonster]

Hyphae!

….though mycelium is probably right. I’ve never heard chefs in general talk about either of these when referring to mushrooms. Either I’m viewing the wrong ones or I need to be watching one who’s into botany or something.

[Pirez]

Hyphae!

No, that's what Borat says when he's happy.

[Hunchman801]

Mycelium is the right answer!

Question 29: Where did the largest eagle known to have existed live?

[Pirez]

Australia?

[DaveRattlehead]

I'll just say New Zealand because it's next to Australia

[Pirez]

I mean I only said Australia because I remembered a big ass eagle in The Rescuers Down Under

[dr_st]

The United States somehow?

[Hunchman801]

New Zealand is correct! The Haast eagle notably fed on moas, flightless giant birds who were driven to extinction by the arrival of the Austronesians, which in turn likely resulted in the eagle going extinct too.

Dave is one point away from victory and must skip this question.

Question 30: The slightly shorter, but much bulkier elephant bird is another giant winged critter. It laid the largest eggs the planet's ever seen. Where did this one live?

[Greengoop]

Kosovo?

[The Jonster]

Africa!

[Rsandee]

In the wild.

Nah haha I'm gonna guess Australia.

[Hunchman801]

Africa!

Correct, but which country? For now only Jonster may reply.

[Greengoop]

He might’ve genuinely thought Africa was a country

[The Jonster]

Well in fairness I didn't know I had to be specific.

Madagascar maybe?

[Hunchman801]

Madagascar maybe?

And that's the right answer!

Question 31: Who first calculated the radius of the Earth and when?

[Greengoop]

Greengoop, 817BC

[Hunchman801]

817BC

That's an accurate description of how old this joke is getting.

[The Jonster]

Greengoop, 817BC

Is that the amount of Tings you would like to pay for your “answer”?

Edit: Oops, I got ninja posted

[Pirez]

Wouldn't that be Ptolemee in the 4th century BC?
