HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW GENERAL KNOWLEDGE?

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
There are many Islamic quizzes on this forum. But why don't we start a G.K. quiz? I'll start with a question. Then the member who answers it correctly will get the chance to ask the next question. PLEASE WAIT TILL THE QUESTIONER VERIFIES YOUR ANSWER! In this case this might be a slow thread.
Here goes my question: WHERE DID THE GAME OF CHESS ORIGINATE?

[ShaheedU]

Wa alaikumassalam

Are you allowed to google it and do research and stuff?

Im gonna guess Italy, rome.

[dna1987]

Sorry for taking two guesses.

Iran or India. If I can only pick one, then it's Iran.

Salam.

[revert_north]

W-salaam

Without googling for a definite answer (hehe), I'm pretty sure it's THOUGHT to have originated in India. I kinda remember reading about it a while ago.

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
Your answer is absolutely right! You can go on with the next question.

[revert_north]

Oh, yippee :)

This one is quite difficult...

What is the most common non-contagious disease in the world?

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
Hmm, is it fever?

[revert_north]

W-Salaam,

No it's not fever. I don't think fever is a disease anyway, just a symptom?

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
Then maybe cold? The disease by which one coughs continuously?

[saqlawi]

Assalamualaykum,

Bird flu!

[revert_north]

Assalamualaykum,

Bird flu!

W-salaam...

LOL!

Fatimabilals, colds are contagious :)

Anybody wanna know the answer? :)

[ShaheedU]

Chicken pox

i dont think its contagious, and most people get it once in their life. i think.

its probably all lies.

[IslamicPearl]

The most common noncontagious disease is periodontal disease, such as gingivitis or inflammation of the gums.

:) am i right?

salam aleikum

[revert_north]

Chicken pox

i dont think its contagious, and most people get it once in their life. i think.

its probably all lies.

Salaam,

Chicken Pox is highly contagious. I got it when I was 7 years old, and passed it onto my poor sister who was just a 10-week old baby! She was so helpless, scratching all the time :-P

And congratulations to IslamicPearl, who is right. Pick a question :)

[IslamicPearl]

What is brain death? :d

[ShaheedU]

When theres a lack of sufficient oxygen going to the brain?

[IslamicPearl]

Close....

For eg. someone drouns in a lake but he is rescued in time. He didnt have oxigen for several minutes and it caused him paralysis. Or the baby in the uterus if it is not taken out fast or because other factor he can get stuck wiht the umbilical cord and he will not be provided wiht oxigen which causes life paralysis. So...its not brain death (until a certain point ofcourse if the individual is not treated on time).

[ShaheedU]

Was that the answer........?

or....

[IslamicPearl]

No its not the answer. Please tell me if u want it coz this is taking too long.
Wasalam

[ShaheedU]

I have no further ideas.

Give up.

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
Wats the answer?

[IslamicPearl]

Irreversible brain damage and loss of brain function, as evidenced by cessation of breathing and other vital reflexes, unresponsiveness to stimuli, absence of muscle activity, and a flat electroencephalogram for a specific length of time.

Ofcourse i wasnt expecting a complex answer like this one but close enough.

Salam aleykum and im sorry it took so long.
Anyone is free to ask a question.

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
Okay I will ask the next question:
"What is the deadliest disease?"

[ShaheedU]

Death!

It is inherited after all!

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
Is the death a disease?

[ShaheedU]

Nah, dont think so, i was kidding.

But whats with the questions about illnesses anyway?

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
Doesn't anyone know the answer? Its so easy!

[ShaheedU]

Assalamualaikum
Doesn't anyone know the answer? Its so easy!

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
All wrong. Come on guys! Hurry up!

[ShaheedU]

Give up, can u tell us the answer please?

[Kanini]

is it Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma in itself is one of the deadliest diseases ever to have been discovered by mankind. Medically, Mesothelioma as a word itself means a tumor that is more likely to transform in a fast proliferating cancer which affects the mesothelial cells of an organ, which form the protective thin covering over the organs like heart, lungs and abdomen.

[fatimabilals]

Assalamualaikum
Never heard of it.

[ShaheedU]

[saima11]

[PaxVobiscum]

[Sonia88]

What is the capital of Australia?

[learnermuslim]

Salaams,

Canberra

[ShaheedU]

Oh come on!!!!

I wanted you to say something like Sydney, or Melbourne!!!

But at least thats the first correct answer i think. Well done.

Anyways, your go inshaAllaah.

[Libinette]

:salam2:

this one will be easy; hope you'll get the right answer straight away inshallah


Q: What is the biggest country in Asia??

[learnermuslim]

Salaams,

this might be viewed as a trick question, as Russia although viewed as European, has the majority of its land mass in Asia, even counting the land area of China, which would be the second or first again based on your view.

So its either Russia or China.

Fi amanAllah

[ShaheedU]

One or the other! Pick one already!

And you cant be located in London, Kobenhavn(where is that?), and Dubai!!

Make up your mind!!! jk.

[learnermuslim]

Salaams.

China.

I live in all three places, not at the same time, but throughout the year.

Kobenhavn is Copenhagen in the native language, which is Danish before you ask :-)

Satisfied, or do you want me to draw a diagram :-)


Fi amanAllah

[Libinette]

:salam2:

WRONG!!!!!!

iT'S Russia

nExt Question: Which country is also a continent?
(thats easy)

[ShaheedU]

Antarctica.

How do you spell that?

And to be fair, he did say russia too.

[Libinette]

Salaams.

China.




he said china!


well, you're wrong as well :biggrin:

you guys are not that goood in geography; anyway try again :)

[ShaheedU]

He said Russia or China and then i made him choose one, 50/50, and he chose the wrong one.

the Answer Is NOT australia or Australasia.

[Libinette]

it is Australia actually

[ShaheedU]

New zealand and some other country is part of Australasia!

[Libinette]

Are you trying to confuse me??????????????????????? jk jk jk

well anyway, i tought that Autralia was the only country whcih is also a continent

[ShaheedU]

Ok swiftly moving away from Geography,

In what year did the battle of Hastings take place? and who won?

[halis]

cud it be malaria?

[ShaheedU]

cud it be malaria?

Nope, im afraid malaria is not the year the battle of hastings took place! lol,

(there's something wrong with that last comment)

[ShaheedU]

Oh yeh, the battle of hasting thing. It was 1066 and William of Normandy won it.

Ok , so when was the first world war?

Nah im kidding, Ok, If i have 3 apples and you take away 2 apples, how many apples have you got left?

[samiha]

I have ur two apples.

:wasalam:

[ShaheedU]

I said the FIRST world war!!! And even then i dont know the answer, i only asked cos libin didnt want a history question! Sorry libin. But i dont think its 1914.

Apples, i was hoping youd take 2 from 3 and answer 1. but....ur go i guess.

[samiha]

Ok, If i have 3 apples and you take away 2 apples, how many apples have you got left?

Taipei 101, Taipei, Taiwan (http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001338.html)

so yea... next person have a go i guess... :)

:wasalam:

[ShaheedU]

Why is the sears tower shown to be taller than the petronas tower although its about 33 feet shorter?

Taipei 101 is my answer. If i get this right, i am a genius.

[Libinette]

assalamu caleikum,

and why sears tower is also shown to be taller than theTaipei 101!!!??

that's weird

bref,....

[ShaheedU]

[ShaheedU]

MashAllaah, well done. Noot a football fan? well no-ones perfect!jk

Your question.....

[al-fajr]

salam

ok this is almost general but with an islamic hint

In what year was anwar sadat asassinated?

[ShaheedU]

salam

ok this is almost general but with an islamic hint

In what year was anwar sadat asassinated?

If i say Allaah knows best, and thats A correct answer, do i get it right?:)

[al-fajr]

Allah DOES know best but thats more referring to Qada and Qadr isnt it? as opposed to a question on middle eastern politics...

[ShaheedU]

I guess so.....:redface:

[al-fajr]

...but u get a brownie point for sheer wit of course!
and if nobody else knows it u can start the new question.

[ShaheedU]

Thanks, i'll try and guess though.

Seeing as ive never heard of the dude, im gonna guess he was before my time so can you like sort of hint if im close ish?

1989

[Libinette]

assalamu caleikum,

my guess is: 1978

[al-fajr]

salam,

1978 is close!!! but not quite

erm 1989... no...im surprised u have not heard of anwar sadat...just becos he was b4 ure time, uve heard of hitler havnt u and mussolini and franco and most of the other european leaders of the past century..thats the western education system for u i suppose!

[ShaheedU]

salam,

1978 is close!!! but not quite

erm 1989... no...im surprised u have not heard of anwar sadat...just becos he was b4 ure time, uve heard of hitler havnt u and mussolini and franco and most of the other european leaders of the past century..thats the western education system for u i suppose!
lol,

:SMILY129: :SMILY129: :SMILY129: :SMILY129: :SMILY129: :SMILY129:

Oh shush, who said i was from the west?! lol.

And whos franco, i know a Gianfranco, now HE was famous, ex chelsea player, wonderful, he was little but he was goooooood!

Anyways, 1980, which way am i supposed to go?

[al-fajr]

OK u win as thats the closest guess and everyone else is bored...it was 1981...my apologies for assuming u were 'western'
Franco was the leader of spain when it was under Fascist dictatorship, he was a nasty peice of work...and history is way more important than football...(u cant dispute that)

Anwar Sadat was leader of Egypt at the time.. and as u probably worked out not many people liked him....his crimes were many
Anyway...no more history questions for a bit i think...(no more football either pls!) :)

wasalam

[ShaheedU]

Actually, i kinda am 'western'.....oops.

history is way more important than football...(u cant dispute that)

Yes i can!!! there are more fans of football than there are fans of history!Although you can argue that football is a part of history.

Wow, with that combination, you could be beyond help!

Oh wait, this isnt helping is it?:wink:

[al-fajr]

cool, wht exam board do u do? and are u A2 or AS?

no tht does not help u shud bequiet shaheed its not a laughing matter when we have exams in a few weeks!

dont listen to him libin u shud believe in ure potential :)

[ShaheedU]

I have exams too!!! Im 17 yrs old/young.

And i totally believe in libin, and you:SMILY231: :)

[al-fajr]

libin, which subjects do u do in addition to biology?
i do chemistry and history and chemistry is my worst!

we shud turn this thread into a biology question and answer thread what do u say libin? :)

[ShaheedU]

Lol, i am doing A2 Business studies, Economics and MATHEMATICS which is HARDER than biology, so cut ur whining Isra. Libin, whine all you like.:)

And before you ask. August 1989.

[al-fajr]

ok dude sorry.

Im not whining alright im just serious about shutting up demoralisers like ure self. :)

hey cool, Economics? is it good?
ive always wanted to do History and Economics together but college dont offer economics....they offer business intead....does business studies and economics overlap alot?

yeah but Chemistry is as difficult as maths but in different ways, the maths in chemistry isnt challenging but the chemical concepts are

and that means ure one of the youngest in the A2 year........
which explains alot :tongue:

[ShaheedU]

Business studies and Economics, they do overlap a bit, but the thing they both have common is that they are equally boring!

and that means ure one of the youngest in the A2 year........
which explains alot

Yeh, ive always been one of the youngest in the year, and you know what? I like it.
You can get two things from that,
1) you fail and do a third year and you are about the same age as the rest!
2) you dont feel and feel good about the fact that you are able to keep up with these older dudes.

Anyways, this is supposed to be question and answer general knowledge thing.

[ShaheedU]

Korea, Iraq. woah, i meant iran, and the 4th britain, America being the first.

[al-fajr]

1 right....u forgot ISRAEL omg tht was the obvious one not Iran....(Iran has no weapons)

Korea was right the others are India and Pakistan...:) they dont make it a secret that they want to blow up each other at all. whereas israel remains on the 'suspected' nuclear state list to make it look angelic but everyone knows it has over 200 nuclear war heads...no secret.

[ShaheedU]

It looks like you have some ranting to get off your chest about the above topic, go for it!

[ShaheedU]

Anti direutic hormone? From pancreas? I forgot.

Pancreas?!!!""£ What kind of stupid answer was that? But i wont cheat. THis is edited btw.

[al-fajr]

Anti direutic hormone? From pancreas? I forgot.

hmmmm good memory! u mean anti diuretic hormone, thts right but how can Pancreas which normally secretes digestive enzymes have anything to do with the water balance? it doesnt, its the Pituitury Gland situated in
the BRAIN...

:muslim_child:

ure turn...

[ShaheedU]

Oh shush, you woouldnt exactly be swinging from what looks to be in mid air, if i was to ask a economics question!

Anyways, Which firm did virgin merge with in order to make the virgin media group? And whos the owner of virgin?

[al-fajr]

im interested in hydrocarbon economics, NOT media stuff...nething to do with halliburton im on to it......erm boss of virgin is it richard branson? and havnt got a clue about media companies...ummm ok i think i can guess some sort of phone company? do u mean to make Virgin Mobile yeah? i dunno...

ure swinging (with a headscarf on ure head of course!)

[ShaheedU]

Whats hydrocarbon economics? on second thoughts scrap that.

Richard branson yes. Virgin mobile is a part of it. It IS/WAS a phone company, and internet, and extra terrestrial tele.....which one? theres not many!

Ur swinging from what though? it looks like ur swinging mid-air!(should mid air be hyphenated or two words?)

[al-fajr]

it can be hyphenated, two words or one word...like 'midair' aswell...all three are correct. and you dont have an ounce of imagination do u? its only a smiley and u can get Administrator to delete it if it upsets u so much...just PM him im sure he'll understand...its like what r freinds for hey?

do u know what a hydro-carbon is? actually dont answer! forget it.


look i havnt even got a mobile phone so how do u xpect me to know the company? seriously i dont know this answer....orange? ntl? nokia? thts all i know...

[ShaheedU]

yaaaay, NTL!

Hydro carbon, is it not molecules of hydrogen and carbon fused together through some chemical process? And then you have the single bonds and double bonds or something and theyre supposed to be stronger. Examples of hydrocarbons- Graphite and diamond?

And for the first bit, lol.

[al-fajr]

yaaaay, NTL!

I SAID not to answer bout the HC...omgoodness.

ok, its simple really, the question u asked me earlier 'whats the hardest substance' whatever? its diamond because its made of NOTHING but carbon....no hydrogen no nothing. whcih is why its so hard.

Hydrocarbon is...CRUDE OIL? (yes it is only hydrogen and carbon) as in the precious liquid fuel which is all over arabia iran texas and alaska...?? (its called liquid gold sometimes) no its not 'fused' its naturally occurring formed over thousands of years which is why it can never be replaced because there no time! which is why all the countries with loads of it are being invaded.

halliburton is a HUGE oil company which bush has shares in
hence hydrocarbon economics
my fave smily

:muslim_child:

[ShaheedU]

Did you have to Revise to answer the Hydrocarbon question?

And who the hell abbreviates Hydrocarbon? Thats just soooo silly!(geez, what science freak!) jk. My favourite smily :SMILY129:

[Libinette]
