Hey, I remembered the Bayeux tapestry from a previous daily quiz! It’s sad that I managed to deduce Jet in about a minute, then didn’t know the shuttle name even a little bit.
I randomly happened to read about jet yesterday after going on a wikipedia dive about Yorkshire, how moorland is created by human deforestation, and the formation of peat bogs.
That's one of the best things about JP....you get questions that you don't know the answers to and go down a rabbit hole learning all kinds of stuff that have nothing to do with the original question😊
Yes, I know that, but I thought there was a question somewhere about a few being born in places you wouldn't expect and one if them was a Russian leader, maybe not.
Yep, Stalin was born in the Georgian town of Gori. He apparently continued to speak with a thick Georgian accent throughout his life. His security chief Lavrentiy Beria was also a Georgian.
Hmm now Google seems to think Onyx is a gemstone (perhaps not so expensive) and although it is striped black and white, there are plenty of pictures of pure black lumps.
is the question a little confusing, perhaps the Quizmaster can explain?
9/10 today, had absolutely no idea about the rocket for Apollo 11, went with Falcon Heavy because I'd heard of it somewhere, but no dice.
Proud of myself for getting jet though, that one was tricky! Managed to rule out obsidian because that's volcanic glass and ebony which is a type of wood as far as I know, but wasn't sure about the other two at all.
One of my worst performances ever. I don't eat seafood, I don't know rockets and gems, I don't even know Oasis because I spent the 90s listening to jazz and Jimmy Buffett. At least my old friend Paddington helped me out though.
I got lucky with some educated guesses like obsidian definitely isn't polished coal, and the "lacto" in the yogurt one made me think milk. Jager was a shot in the dark for me and I thought Joker might be linguistically similar.
So glad that the Quizmaster used my question about Stalin, when I saw that the Quizmaster responds to every message, I thought that was over exaggeration, turns out I was wrong! The jet punk community is very nice. Thank you Quizmaster!
The Saturn V was an enormous superheavy lift rocket with three stages
Failed on the German question though.
He died in his 50s
Luna was the only name I knew, but as it's the Luna module, it's not the rocket as well.
Chose onyx as the gemstone.
Leon Trotsky was born in what is now Ukraine.
Knew about mostly everything but hesitated a lot for jet and for the launcher.

It helps if you can read.🤦🏻
