You will be shown 10 random numbers between 1 and 100 without knowing what's next. Your task is to put them in order! But beware, if a number cannot be placed, the quiz ends...
I realize "athletics" is 100% correct, but it always seemed way too generic as a name for track and field events. Unless the Olympic committee starts allowing bake-offs and chess matches, 'athletics' would seem to cover ALL their events.
Agreed, I was naming individual events rather than thinking of the general term for those events. I also must have named every ruddy event in the Olympics bar three of the answers.
It's just a quirk of language. Sometimes a word can mean something general and also something more specific in the same category. For example: drink can refer to any liquid you might ingest, but also means alcoholic beverage. Context indicates meaning.
For some unknown reason I first tried cup of Christ. It wasn't accepted, not would I expect it to be, but it was called that at one point in the movie. Silly brain thinking of that before the obvious answer.
That's what I tried, too. There are only five layers of the atmosphere, and ozone isn't one of them. Perhaps it would better if the clue read, "Which region of the stratosphere absorbs most of the sun's UV radiation?"
A subdivision of one of the primary layers is still a layer. It just happens to be secondary one. (Why to people get so tripped up by the dimensions of language in this way?)
Track and field is not the same as athletics; it is a subcategory of athletics. The marathon is not part of track and field (it is a road race) but it is part of athletics. I agree it's fine to accept "track" on this quiz, but some of the comments don't seem to realize this nuance.
Guys, come on. Track and field is only called that in America (one country). I get that this is an American quiz site, but America does not control the world yet....🙃
I understand that the Ozone layer is technically correct but it forms part of the stratosphere which I believe is actually the layer of the atmosphere.
wow 100%! That hardly ever happens! Usually I get at least one or two wrong (at least on quizzes like this, the general and or history ones, anagrams for instance I tend to score well on so 100% is not uncommon there (music or sports however... 25% is a win haha)
