I picked the "correct" answer, but how is that correct? What declension is the word "Data" from? Wouldn't the plural of a noun ending -um naturally be -is?
Strangely, I agree. Normally, I wouldn't mind but it seems that every time "dingo" is the answer in a quiz, there is a very flip and offhand reference to that tragedy.
The Seinfeld dingo quote was a reference to the movie Evil Angels (known as A Cry in the Dark outside of Australia and New Zealand), which was a dramatization of the case surrounding the 1980 death of Azaria Chamberlain.
Yep. Immensely tasteless. Quizmaster, you once scolded me for using a word in comments that's considered offensive in the US (but not in Australia, where I live). This is similar, but in reverse. Not cool.
62% of people know who Delilah is but only 32% know Devo...priorities people! I ran through every D name I could think of...Delilah was not one of them.
Probably not, since it is her rank. It’s also a title, but it means she’s higher in the order of precedence than your average pleb (like me). So, if we’re ever both at a state function, she gets to sit closer to the Queen. I’m not sure if it’s because she won an Oscar for being in a film for 8 mins, or whether it’s because she’s the whole country’s Nan, but hey, what can you do?
Specifically, she’s a “Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire,” if you will…
But 5280 feet has an obvious conversion that is associated with the city. Yes, it is a little US centric, but listing it in meters/km wouldn't be as good of a clue.
No. Why should it be that? It's the same exact thing, but phrased differently - arguably to make it harder - to make that connection first. The clue can be anything the quizmaster wants it to be, really.
But the answer has to start with a D and Denver is known as the MILE HIGH city so it's not just a "high" city. And MILES are measured in FEET, not in meters.
Specifically, she’s a “Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire,” if you will…
I'd rephrase it in the metric system (or both systems) and hint the region, as there are many high cities around the world.
