for those wondering about this comment, the quiz was originally released with a misspelling. "Stanlingrad" I guess one could think that since the USSR sucked up 5 of the 7 Stans, they could name a city in their honor. :)

Stanlingrad was named after the famous explorer Henry Morton Stanley (in Russian Genrich Mortowich Stanli), who discovered many unknown tribes in Africa. One of these tribes, the "Volo", had a marxist-communist System. After discovering, that Stanli was a secret CIA-Agent, the city was renamed after this African tribe.

In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, they task a supercomputer with finding "the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything".

It took 7.5 million years to generate an answer, which was simply "42"

And of course people were unsatisfied, so they asked for clarification and the computer said the directions were vague and only asked for the answer to life the universe and everything, but not the ultimate question .

It followed by saying that figuring out the question would also take time, and involve building a new supercomputer. And thus, all we know is that the answer to life the universe and everything is 42

Do you refer to other famous figures by their first names in casual conversation? John, Ludwig, Fyodor, Pyotr, Charles? No. You refer to them by their surnames. Why should it be different in a quiz?

Interestingly, the answer for most spoken language you could argue was Kiswahili, though most of us refer to that language just as Swahili.

Korean has roughly 81 million speakers, from what I see. Kiswahili has about 88 million.
