This is so confusing as a German. In German an "Octopus" is a type of "Krake". But if you translate "Krake/n" to English it becomes "Octopus".

I thought the question for "Frostbite" meant freezes, like stops moving, so I guessed "Paralysis". Whoops.

No body parts need to freeze for you to have hypothermia, nor do you necessarily have hypothermia when one of your extremities freezes.

Can someone please explain what the 'specific gravity of water' question means? I didn't even know what it was asking for? I have Googled it and can't find an explanation?
+6
Level 88

Relative density. For liquids, water, at 4 degrees C (when it is densest), is the reference, so water at 4 degrees C has a relative density or specific gravity of 1. At any other temperature it will be less than 1 because it is less dense.

Could you accept row for din? It may be region-specific, but fits the definition in most Commonwealth countries.

Doesn't row however always involve people? Can you use the word row when it is about thunder or a noisy waterfall? Or machinery running on its own?
+1
Level 76
Aug 30, 2025
Row is more like racket I would say (English is not my native tongue however, and of course I am not aware of all regional differences) though I can picture squirrels making a lot of racket for instance, so no humans involved then, but well still something you could personify.

Should specify the units for the specific gravity of water. It has a different value in imperial units (or even if you use different base metric units)
