Some nerd stats here:
Isn't it awesome how Greengoop covered 5 topics with only 4 points?
My maths are even more awesome because Rsandee did the same
On my way to fix it, it seems I can't fucking count today

Congrats on the win Pirez!
I am usually pretty bad at general knowledge for some reason.

Alright, I believe I have enough questions (28 for now) to start this quizz. I hope it's balanced enough so I don't have to withdraw most of them (which is usually what happens when I schedule one for my friends )
Here we go!

I just don't understand the 'since late 2024'. That's the historical Jewish name of the region since times BC. I think you are probably referring to an in-progress bill in the Israeli parliament to abolish the usage of the term 'West Bank' and replace it with 'Judea and Samaria' in all official government documentation, which was indeed submitted in late 2024. However, I assure you that Jews living in that area and most Jews living elsewhere in Israel were using the name for as long as they can remember it.

Yeah I was referring to that bill. But up to my knowledge it had already passed. Guess I was wrong.
At least Israeli media uses Judea-Samaria every chance they get.

West Bank? What's the origin behind that name?
No idea about the Nobel Peace but I'll go with Red Cross since organizations can also get the Nobel...

It is the west bank of the Jordan river. Since the damming of 1932 the river does not actually flow there, but the riverbed still exists.

And you, sir, have just earn a ban from next question.
Indeed, the Red Cross International Committee has won three times, in 1917, 1944 and 1963. Then come the Nato council who won twice, and then a bunch of individuals who would have been very fortunately to win twice but time claimed their very being first.

I was indeed waiting for someone so that I wouldn't double post.
The answer was Dr. Benett Omalu. This doctor was the subject of a 2015 movie starring Will Smith named Concussion, which is why I thought this subject wasn't so obscure.
