It's funny, I read articles about this but I can never remember the city. My brain brought up Calcutta, but I say that with very little confidence.

Benares is correct! I'm more used to the name Varanasi but it seems even Wikipedia prefers the name Benares.

Question 28: During "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", or "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" for the Americans, Harry and the gang end up trying to stop "Snape" from stealing the philosopher's stone. They go into the forbidden third-floor corridor and end up facing several underground chambers, each featuring a challenge designed by a professor at Hogwarts (and Hagrid). List the differences between the book and the movie concerning the challenges Harry and the gang have to face.

BONUS 2: List 20 Greek mythological creatures/monsters. You are allowed to call the unique ones by name.

Code: Select all

Question 1: What character(s) does Mike Myers play in the Austin Powers trilogy? Answer: Austin Powers, Dr Evil, Fat Bastard, Goldmember (Master)

Question 2: How many pieces of cursed Aztec gold coins were in the treasure chest on Isla de la muerta in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest? Whoever gets closest to the exact value will get the point (± 25, might loosen this restriction if this question turns out to be too difficult), if someone gets the exact value I will of course immediately award a point. Answer: 822 (dr_st)

Question 3: Give at least three implications what confirmed life on Mars (no matter whether past or present) could mean for us. Answer: Bridges between the knowledge we have and what is yet speculated regarding where life could have originated or whether life on Mars and Earth are linked. Potential new branches of lifeforms or non-carbon dependent life forms. (Curionone)

Question 5: What colors do dogs see? Answer: Blue and Yellow. (The_Jonster)

Question 7: In 1938 the H. G. Well's novel "The War of the Worlds" was famously broadcasted on the radio as part of a Halloween episode. This novel, though a work of fiction, was widely misinterpreted as an actual alien invasion due to the broadcast being treated so seriously by the radio channel and the narrator Orson Welles. The hysteria that was caused by this could be accredited to a suspension of disbelief fueled by a lack of media literacy, which is understandable because the radio was a relatively new medium at the time and people weren't used to fictitious radio broadcasts. This phenomenon of the masses not being able to be as critical as they ought to be when new technology and artforms are concerned, returned somewhat during the release of a certain movie from the past few decades that was also widely misbelieved to be real and authentic. This movie was so revolutionary in its genre, that it spawned an entirely new genre of its own as people thought it was real and the story kind of leaked through into the real world.

In the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, there are seven challenges guarding the Stone: Fluffy the dog, Devil’s Snare, flying keys, Wizard’s Chess, a troll, a potion riddle, and the Mirror of Erised. The movie simplifies this to five, removing the troll and Snape’s potion riddle for pacing and visual reasons.

Correct! On a semi-unrelated note: removing the troll in the dungeons kind of ruins the purpose of the escaped troll in the movie and just makes it look like a random escaped troll. That has always irked me about the movie.

China, Nepal and India are 100% correct.
Bhutan must be the 4th country, the buddhists are there and I remember the red pandas were associated to those places :lol:
I'd have said Bangladesh as the 5th one, but I'll go with Birmania since it's relatively close.

Depends. Haha I'll try to explain: some gods like Zeus are depicted as just human or humanoid, while some creatures seem like gods but are officially treated as beasts/monsters as they pose a powerful threat to the gods of Olympus. You can mention those by name and they would count!

They count! They are embodiments of the elements if I recount correctly, even if they are sometimes depicted as humanoid in popular media they are nowhere near human. :P

Edit: okay so there is some controversy surrounding this because they are depicted as humanoid, it seems that there is a distinction between "titans" and "primordial gods". Gaia was a primordial god, not a titan, therefore Gaia should count as the titans were humanoid. I answered your question with primordial deities like Gaia in mind.

10 the god of chaos (cant remember his name, but he is a monster)
11 Python
12 mintar (the goat guy, cant spell his name)
13 Nymphs
14 Pegasus
15 Chrysaor
16 Cyberish (3 headed dog from Hades, cant spell their name.. again)
17 Hydra
18 centars
19 Orthus
20 Achelous

now I'm not sure if some of these count... but you can list the ones that you don't think count.
Nicely done! :D The god of chaos is called, well... Chaos :lol: I'm impressed you managed to answer this bonus question without mentioning most of the creatures I was thinking of (from games like Castlevania), but you still mentioned some of them like harpies, centaurs and nymphs. Also I'm very impressed you mentioned the Hecatoncheires, which I only knew of since a week or two (because of God of War :lol: ). You also got Orthus and Achelous, who I never heard of before either :hap:

Absolutely amazing! :P Well deserved :D

I know there are some people who've played TES games here, as I've seen some TES-related questions in the video game quiz. I will lower my standard before the end of the weekend if it's not answered by then.

Not for a lack of want, but alas I've not played TES games in a good while and my memory is shot. I've got no idea 😅

I only know the answer to two of those out of three, which is why I couldn't answer myself. :oops2:
