The modern system of Bacteria (Eubacteria), Archaea, and Eukarya, I presume?

 

Recall the four principle ingredients of crepes and tell us a favorite topping (outside of some Nutella+fruit combination).

Ehm. Flour, milk, eggs... that's all? What's the fourth one? Salt? But I wouldn't call it a principle ingredient. Oil for frying? Are we talking about strictly french crepes or crepes in general? 

 

And as for the other part, my favourite topping (or filling, actually) is quark with soured cream and sugar. Though the meat and mushroom ones are also good. Or sauerkraut and mushroom. Mmmm. 

 

In case I'm correct:

 

WLIU, Name 15 countries in Africa.

WLIU, Name 15 countries in Africa.

Burundi, Sao Tome and Principe, Mauritius, Togo, Benin, Gabon, Cameroon, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Lesotho, Swaziland, Chad, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, The Gambia, Liberia....I could keep going but I'll stop there.

Name 15 African capitals (I don't think I've used that one yet)

Posted

Still no takers? Okay, I'll have a go, but I won't get near 15...

 

Nairobi; Kinshasa; Pretoria; Mogadishu; Lagos

Monrovia; Harare; Cairo; - hopeless, but it's the best I can do.

If all the forum users try together, we can do it! I can add one to that list: Tunis. We're almost there. xD

Madagascar (I'm sure it's it has the same name)

Isn't Madagascar's capital something long that starts with A, and sound a little like Tenerife? xD Atatanariva? Atananariva? Atananarivo? Atatanarive? One of these or something similar? Or maybe not? I probably missed 5 letters. xD I only always remember it sounds like Tenerife (it probably doesn't, but oh well...)

 

I'm so bad with capitals. :(

Antananarivo is the capital of Madagascar, Pestis, so one of your guesses was correct. :)

That puts the number to 13 (since Lagos isn't the capital of Nigeria), so I'll throw a couple more on: Kigali and Algiers.

Sorry, I'd thought 15 would be fine. For the geography ones, I usually take what I can do and cut about 5-10 off. Um. Whoever wants can ask the next question. I'm worried I'll throw something out like the capitals of Oceanic countries next and if Africa was bad, that would be horrific. :P

Nah, I missed the first "n".  :(

Oh man, if I had seen this earlier I would have nailed the African capitals (Ouagadougou, has to be the worst place I've ever been...)! Abuja is the capital of Nigeria by the way. I'll take a stab at additional capitals...

 

1) Accra, Ghana

2) Lilongwe, Malawi

3) Dakar, Senegal

4) Windhoek, Namibia

5) Bamako, Mali

6) Niamey, Niger

7) N'Djamena, Chad

8) Juba, South Sudan

9) Khartoum, Sudan

10) Lome, Togo

11) Freetown, Sierra Leon

12) Conakry, Guinea

13) Nouakchott, Mauritania

14) Bissau, Guinea-Bissau

15) Port Louis, Mauritius

16) Djibouti, Djibouti

17) Yaounde, Cameroon

18) Malabo, Equatorial Guinea

19) Brazzaville, Republic of Congo

20) Kampala, Uganda

21) Not Sure, Mozambique

22) Not Sure, The Gambia

23) Not Sure, Lesotho

24) Not Sure, Swaziland

25) Not Sure, Burundi

26) Not Sure, Botswana

27) Not Sure...but it starts with a B, Central African Republic

28) L-something, Gabon

29) NOT Dar es Salaam...it was moved to somewhere more central, but I'm not sure where, Tanzania

30) Not Sure, Angola

 

Since I was able to add 20 capitals to the list, I'll take a stab at the next question...

 

WLIU, name three capitals from the so-called "Stan" countries.

This I can do, I think.

Kabul - Afghanistan

Islamabad - Pakistan

Tashkent - Uzbekistan (Model UN is occasionally useful!

WLIU, name 5 Mongol Khans

Ahh Model UN! To finish the list:

 

Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan

Almaty, Kazakhstan (Actually, it's Astana. Thanks for reminding me little wilson!!)

Ashgabat, Turkmenistan

Dushanbe, Tajikistan

Isn't it Astana?

Ha. You're correct. They changed their capital a few years back...and now that I google it, a few years back really means 18 years back. I must be getting old when that time period is remembered as "a few years back".

[Double Post] I'm only making a double post because it's been several days since Orlok posed the last question. We, as a group, have no responses, other than the one answer we probably all know: Genghis Khan. 

 

Orlok, can you give us a new question? [/Double Post]

Posted

Sure - is naming 5 regiments of the British Army feasible?

In terms of khans, other than Genghis, you could have had Ogedai, Guyuk, Mongke, Ariq-Boke, Kublai, and a large selection of their lesser known successors or minor khans.

I could do that, with the caveat that most of those I know no longer exist; I had to memorise the order of battle w.r.t. the battle for Malaya and for Singapore, so stuff like the 14th Punjab Regiment which was part of the British Indian Army and fought with British forces in most of the theatres, would've later become part of the Pakistan Army, I believe.

But sure, let me try anyway.

From the historical British Army around WW2:

1. Cambridgeshire Regiment

2. Royal Norfolk Regiment

3. Suffolk Regiment

4. Gordon Highlanders

5. Manchester Regiment

To avoid controversy, I've left out colonial forces like the Royal Malay Regiment and the 14th/16th Punjab, since the latter are usually reference historically as being of the British Indian Army.

I'd have allowed you the British Indian Army - even only because I have ancestors who served as officers in it! :P

I wish we got to do things like memorising Orders of Battle for conflicts in school - we gloss over military history, and it really irks me.

Anyway, it's your turn now Kas!

Ooh, awesome :D

Alright then: name five pirate havens, either historical or current :)

Posted

For whatever reason, I know this one.

1. Treasure Island :P

2. Tortuga

3. Port Royal

4. St. Mary's Island

5. Algiers

6. Barataria Bay (because Treasure Island isn't real)

Name eight different types of functions.

Posted

I'm just going to list them in order.

Linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, um... quintic?

Okay then, rational, absolute value, sinusoidal, hm.

Does inverse count?

That's eight, but I'm not totally sure if that's what you're asking for.

Posted

I'm late, but this is math, and I can't not answer it. (And since elbereth is unsure, I might as well :P) Feel free to take the next one anyways, elbereth.

Linear

Polynomial

Logarithmic

Exponential

Heaviside function

Spherical besselfunctions

sine function

Dirac delta function
