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

[Rsandee]

I looked at the wikipedia list (I didn't know any people that are strictly philosophers) and I had a good laugh.
I can see why Pirez would be offended at that answer. I was going to refrain from answering this one anyway.

[Hunchman801]

How about Senghor? I see him mostly as a poet but maybe he'd qualify.

[Pirez]

How about Senghor? I see him mostly as a poet but maybe he'd qualify.

While his actual entry suggests that his poetry was more of a stepping stone to the work of Souleymane Bachir Diagne, he is listed as an african philosopher, which is good enough for me, whose thought process rarely crosses level 0 of sentience.

FYI : the threat of a one-question ban for whomever speaks the forbidden name remains active.

Maybe it’s made out of unhealthy materials?

Also do we get to know the forbidden name at the end?

[Pirez]

Maybe it’s made out of unhealthy materials?

No.

Also do we get to know the forbidden name at the end?

Depends if this season's winner is willing to carry out the potential punishment.

[Rsandee]

It's a modern philosopher that likes to smoke ciggies and his name sounds like a typical Canadian deer-like animal.
It's forbidden because colonialism, he was technically born in Algeria when it was occupied by the French.

[DaveRattlehead]

The 72% of vegetable oil?

Not gonna lie, I'm getting more and more confused with this correlation between the forbidden name and a soap

[Pirez]

Though the composition gets a say in the answer, we are looking for a behavior you can actually see.

[dr_st]

It glows in the dark?

[Pirez]

Damn, bioluminescent soap. I'd like to see that. Unless maybe we are speaking radioactive.

In any case, I'm afraid not.

[Rsandee]

Marseille soap doesn't require water?

[DaveRattlehead]

Maybe it's the greenish tone?

[Pirez]

You're straying farther away from the answer

The 72% of vegetable oil?

This was the closest. Build on this. On the properties implied by this.

All of you may answer again.

[Greengoop]

That it’s mostly natural ingredients?

[Rsandee]

It's edible?

[Pirez]

Unless you're Averell Dalton, I'm afraid not.

[Rsandee]

It is flammable?

[Greengoop]

It’s ethically sourced?

[The Jonster]

When you cook it on the stove and it melts, it turns into any color you wan. Great sub for butter!

[DaveRattlehead]

All of you may answer again.

If it's related to the vegetable oil, is it that it floats in water?
