Welcome to the ELEVENTH Western Canada Regional Forum Trivia Contest!!! We have our new Champion!!!

I'm sorry that I could not play,
I was waiting for internet all that day.

I am sure that I will play next time,
and I really do like to rhyme.

That's better

 

Bravo!

 

nice, it's like beatnik trivia

 

Sorry for the delay, got my days mixed up, and the boards were down last night...

Question 3: In the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", who got an award for designing the fjords of Norway?

 

eek!!!

I have 48 hours to read an entire book?! Or up to that Chapter?!

 

Better get on it!!!

 

Hey! No fair you have my books!

 

Well, I read the books...now to remember who built those fjords. (He did a pretty good job at it, I must say).

 

Crappola!

Google don't fail me now!

 

why can't hangman be this easy?

 

Woohoo! That's two in a row that I actually knew. Well I did have to check the spelling for this one though.

 

Are you guys complaining that the questions are too easy???

 

No, question three was the first one I kinda knew

 

Google has not failed me yet...

Question 4: In the complex mathematics of spacial relationships, the distance between two parallel and equidistant lines can be no greater than pi to the power of n, where n equals the distance between two points on a square when placed on the surface of a sphere with a radius of 4.066574 units. Using the formula above, please figure out the distance between two cubes with a cumulative surface area of 27 microns. You may round your answer to the 8th decimal place.





























































Better get to work!!!!

 

heheh, awesome

 

I thought you might like this one...

 

I have some questions for clarity:

a) "...the distance between two points on a square..." Are we talking about the vertices, or any two arbitrary points? There will be a distance difference depending on the points chosen.
b) Are we assuming Euclidean geometry (ie. Euclid's fifth postulate)? How this is important is, as it is "placed" on the surface of a sphere, if the square isn't small enough it will contort to the curvature of the sphere. This will cause it to no longer be a square. Are we then concerned with the largest square on the surface of the prescribed sphere that would retain its Euclidean definition (ie. a rectangle which is also a rhombus)?
c) Are we to assume that the cubes are arranged so that they have parallel sides with one another, or does our choice of the attributes of each cube (within the area parameters, of course) make this irrelevant?

 

a) any two points
b) the square will be "bent" to conform to the surface of the sphere if need be.
c) it is irrelevant

 

I best start working on the four line poem

 

No fair. Finding the answer to this question requires actual intelligence rather than an abundance of useless pop culture knowledge.

 

Okay, I am just screwing with ya'll....



























REAL Question #4: What are the names of the 4 adult main characters in the show "Yes, Dear"?

 

I repeat my first statement

 

That's better... I think.
