Question 1: Which metal is commonly used in traditional incandescent bulb filaments due to its high melting point and durability?
Answer: Tungsten. (The Jonster)

Question 2: Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most relevant people in French history. His occupation of Spain was quite particular, since it wasn’t a traditional military invasion. How did he do it?
Answer: Treaty of Fontainebleau. The invasion was never a traditional invasion, since Napoleon never declared war to Spain. Napoleon signed a secret agreement with Charles IV to invade Portugal. The French troops were supposed to simply pass through Spain, but instead they started occupying key cities with no resistance. (🟡 Withdrawn – No correct answers)

Answer: Shutter Island. (Rsandee)

Question 11: Japan stands out for its large number of earthquakes because it lies in the boundary of different tectonic plates. This theory is more than studied and is the evolution of an earlier theory: the continental drift. Who developed this theory in detail and what does it consist of?
Answer: The continental drift is a scientific theory which exposes that Earth's continents move or drift relative to each other over geologic time. It was developed by Alfred Wegener. (🟡 Withdrawn – No correct answers)

Question 14: During the COVID pandemic, Russia developed a vaccine (Sputnik V) parallel to the United States (Comirnaty). Sputnik V was based on a more “traditional” methodology, and Comirnaty was a fairly novel vaccine because it used “mRNA technology,” something that hadn’t been heard of much. In the context of biology, what is mRNA and what is its function?
Answer: Messenger RNA (mRNA) encodes what amino acids (and therefore what proteins) will be manufactured by the ribosomes in your body. It has the opposite genetic code of DNA upon transcription (A <-> T, C <-> G), with the caveat that Thymine (T) in mRNA is actually Uracil (U). (Rsandee)

Question 15: The structure of DNA is characterized by a double helix. The famous “Photograph 51” was extremely important for the description of this double helix. Who took that photo?
Answer: Rosalind Franklin/Raymond Gosling. (🟡 Withdrawn – No correct answers)

Question 19: Which river is the longest in Europe?
Answer: Volga. (Greengoop)

Question 20: The symbol by which mercury is represented is Hg (hydrargyrum, from the Greek word “hydrargyros”, meaning “water” and “silver”). Why is it called mercury?
Answer: The metal was given this name because of its quick movement, as it is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature and moves rapidly, resembling the speed and agility of the god Mercury. (The Jonster)

Question 21: Who is the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Mercury?
Answer: Hermes. (Pirez)

Question 22: Complete the sequence: 1 – 2 – 5 – 1 - 0.2 - 1.2 - ? - ?

Answer: The Vatican, Andorra, San marino, Liechtenstein and Malta. (dr_st)

Question 30: Which car does James Bond mainly drive in GoldenEye?
Answer: BMW Z3. (The Jonster)

[Rsandee]

I think it's a body of water, maybe a bay or an area at sea.

[Pirez]

It's either that or an icelandic cheese.

[Greengoop]

Is it a Bulgarian dating app?

[The Jonster]

Is it a Bulgarian dating app?

I would like to know your thought process in what brought you to this conclusion.

[DaveRattlehead]

I think it's a body of water, maybe a bay or an area at sea.

You're on the right track... Can you be a bit more specific? You may reanswer again.

Is it a Bulgarian dating app?

If the game consisted of giving the wildest possible invent you would have won a month ago

[DaveRattlehead]

Since there are no new answers, I'll give you a clue... There are two seas involved.

[Rsandee]

Is it between the north sea and the east sea?

Edit: The east sea is the Germanic name of the Baltic sea, so I meant the Baltic sea.

[Greengoop]

Is it a peninsula of some sort?

[The Jonster]

A strait!

[DaveRattlehead]

Rsandee has identified the exact location (well, technically it's a connection), and Jonster identified the specific geographical feature (strait). I was looking for a more complete answer, which would have been the combination of both of your answers, but if I have to give the point to only one person, I'll give it to Jonster because he gave me the proper definition and the question wasn't asking for the location.

Since Jonster guessed two in a row, he should skip next question.

[Greengoop]

A: it will decrease as the particles will rapidly spread apart.
B: It will increase as the particles will be closer together and have less space to move around.

Year 8 physics, please don’t fail me!

[DaveRattlehead]

That's correct! For an ideal gas:
PV=nRT

a) P = (n/V)RT = [ ]RT; being [ ] the concentration
[ ] = P/(RT)
So, if we increase the temperature, concentration will decrease.

b) P = nRT/V
If we increase the decrease volume, that means the gas will be more compressed -thus, increasing the pressure.

And now, Jonster can rejoin the game.

[Greengoop]

Just a guess: it’s cheap, it’s sturdy and its eco-friendly?

[DaveRattlehead]

Only one of those three is correct.

[Rsandee]

A: it will decrease as the particles will rapidly spread apart.
B: It will increase as the particles will be closer together and have less space to move around.

Year 8 physics, please don’t fail me!

You answered it the chemical/molecular way, kudos to you

Okay so I'm gonna go with the fact that carbon (nano)fiber is sturdy, flexible upon impact and is thus better at reducing impact damage, and it doesn't include any form of metal.

[DaveRattlehead]

sturdy

True.

flexible upon impact and is thus better at reducing impact damage

You got very close to have this one right too. Think about it

it doesn't include any form of metal

I can take it as valid if you tell me what implies not having metal, but carbon in this material. Think about it

You have a second chance.

[DaveRattlehead]

I'll give you a couple of clues in regards of the two affirmations left.

1. The toe of the safety shoes have carbon fiber for the same reason.
2. The wings of modern fighters are made of carbon fiber for the same reason.
And... You can think about a third one which wasn't mentioned. Think about shapes

All of you can try again.

[Hunchman801]

It's sturdy, it's light and, I don't know, maybe it absorbs shocks when breaking or something?

[DaveRattlehead]

It's sturdy

We all agree that it's sturdy

it's light

Now, Hunch got the second one right. Carbon fiber is light and it's perfect not only for race cars, but also for planes! The lighter, the faster.

it doesn't include any form of metal

Rsandee mentioned that it doesn't include any kind of metal, which is true, but that wasn't the right answer. Race cars and fighters still have metal components, but the fact of using carbon fiber is, as I said, because they want to make them lighter.

maybe it absorbs shocks when breaking or something?

And here I'll give you a second chance. You're on the right path, but there are contradictions here. Absorb and breaking? You mean absorbing energy in the conventional way? And what am I being specific with conventional way? Maybe it isn't conventional at all...

flexible upon impact and is thus better at reducing impact damage
