Jo and the Bush all/any Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I think that's how its supposed to be.
The Sovereign Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 It's your turn, Iron Eyes Sorry guys, I was traveling for work and didn't really go on the shard for a couple of days. Name the 13 original Forsaken from the Wheel of Time.
Lindel he/him Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 If no one has the answer, then Iron Eyes wins and asks another question. If he doesn't show up to ask a new question, someone else can ask one.
Hoid Is Dead Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Sorry guys, I was traveling for work and didn't really go on the shard for a couple of days.

EDIT: OH, the question is from august :S sorry 10/13, not bad. The missing three were Rahvin, Balthamel, and Graendal. Anyways... Next question... Name the 5 cities with the largest populations (worldwide).
little wilson she/her Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Name the 5 cities with the largest populations (worldwide). City proper or including the metropolitan area? 2
The Sovereign Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) City proper or including the metropolitan area? Excellent question, lets go with metropolitan area since I know the answer to that one. Edit: Huh, 200 posts. Edited September 17, 2015 by Iron Eyes
Cromptj he/him Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I think Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Delhi, and Mexico City? Not sure about the last one.
The Sovereign Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I think Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Delhi, and Mexico City? Not sure about the last one. Tokyo ✓ Seoul ✓ Shanghai ✓ Delhi ✓ Mexico City X (Very close though, Mexico City is 6). A hint, the last one is another city in China.
little wilson she/her Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Is that according to Wikipedia? Because this site shows it's slightly different, according to 2014 stats. (That site is actually the reason I couldn't answer this question. I got a little too curious about the differences between the city proper populations and the metro areas and it meant I couldn't answer. )

Beijing, then. Too far north.
Robinski he/him Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Must be Beijing, surely? Or not, my geography is a bit ropy. * oops, what happened there? Edited September 24, 2015 by Robinski
Pestis the Spider she/her Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Singapore is not in China...
Evil_Reptile Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Hong Kong? It's sort of in China. EDIT: I looked it up, and nobody's ever gonna get it. Edited September 28, 2015 by Evil_Reptile
The Sovereign Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Hong Kong? It's sort of in China. Nope, it is a city in Mainland China.
little wilson she/her Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Since the terms of the game are to answer the question and if you get it wrong, post a funny picture, and those terms have been met, I'm just going to say this: Guangzhou, and here's a funny gif. Because i like gifs more. And now, to get this game back on track, another question in the geography category. WLIU, name 35 European capitals of sovereign nations. 1
Seonid he/him Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Lisbon Madrid Andorra Paris Monaco Dublin London Reykjavik Rome San Marino Vatican city Bern Vienna Berlin The Hague Brussels Copenhagen Oslo Stockholm Helsinki Moscow Riga Kalinin Minsk Kiev Warsaw Prague Bruno Budapest Bucharest Sofia Sarajevo Athens Luxembourg Lichtenstein And, just in case Lichtenstein is not the name of its capital, then I'll add Malta on there. Full disclosure, my father and I worked together on this one, but neither of us looked it up. Question - name 15 languages from the Indo-European group.
Robinski he/him Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Man, this is too much like homework. I know squat about languages, but here goes: English French Spanish Portuguese German Flemish Dutch Romansh Italian Greek Russian Swedish Hungarian Czech Basque (dialect?) - suppose I'll sub Norwegian in case I already don't like some on this list!
Pestis the Spider she/her Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Well, since you didn't ask the question, I'll just say some things, also WLIU, because I just like this topic. So, Hungarian is not Indo-European, but Uralic language. Hungarian, Estonian and Finnish are tricky this way. And Basque is even more tricky, since Basque is just Basque and doesn't really belong to any language group. So it's not Indo-European either. And I have to admit I didn't know there is a language called Romansh. Nice to know. EDIT: Also WLIU some questions to the previous comment, about European capitals. Because that's also interesting. Where are "Bruno" and "Kalinin"? Never heard of them, but maybe my problem is that I don't know English names of some of the capitals. Also: Bern and Hague are not the capitals of their countries. And the capital of Andorra has a nice name of Andorra la Vella (I like the sound of it). But amaaaazing job. You remembered so many. I would find that really hard. So yeah. What's the next question? Edited October 1, 2015 by Pestis the Spider
Seonid he/him Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 So Bruno was my dad and I misremembering Bratislava, in Slovakia. And Kalinin is a mangling of Kaliningrad, which is actually a Russian enclave, but we remembered it as the capital of Estonia, which is Tallinn. (Either that or my dad said Tallinn, and I misheard him, we were on the phone with a not-entirely-clear connection). I could have sworn Bern was Switzerland's capital - a quick look on Wikipedia says that there is no capital de jure, but that Bern is the de facto capital. About The Hague...yeah, that was just us getting it wrong. Looks like it was Amsterdam. I think I'm required to post a funny picture now, so here goes: 1

So I think that Bern, as the de facto capital, qualifies for the answer then. My bad. : ) Edited October 1, 2015 by Pestis the Spider
