Easy General Knowledge #5

Nope. This is a Greek vs. Latin prefix situation. Latin goes "uni", "bi", "tri", "quadri". Greek goes "mono", "di", "tri", "tetra". Based on "bi" instead of "di", the correct answer is "quadri" (though "quad" should be accepted).

For those geeky enough to wonder, the whole list:

Latin	Greek
uni	mono
bi	di
tri	tri
quadri	tetra
quinque	penta
sexa	hexa
septem	hepta
octo	octo
novem	ennea
decem	deca

Latin is used for numbers (billion, quadrillion, quintillion, etc.), and Greek for chemistry (dihydrogen monoxide) and geometry (pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, etc.), with the odd exception of the 2-dimensional four side "quadrilateral" instead of, say, "tetragon", despite using Greek for the 3-dimensional "tetrahedon" instead of, say, "quadrahedron".

I agree that the 'Ice Hockey' question is only easy for US or Canadian jetpunkers, and a hard question for most others in the world (I just know someone somewhere is going to answer 'I knew it') How many US/Canadians would know some sports people that are household names in Australia for instance: Gary Ablett / Wayne Carey / Ray Lindwall / Ricky Ponting / Shane Warne etc.

Gretzky isn't American (he's Canadian) and he is the most famous hockey player in the history of the sport. In North America and Northern Europe the name recognition of Gretzky probably rivals that of Pele.

If a hypothetical "what sport did Pele play?" question would be considered "easy" then this question should be as well because it's just as "easy" for opposite sections of the world to answer each question.

Just asked my mom (who doesn't speak English) about this. She knew that Greztky is a sportsman and needed a little while for the Chicago question.

im american and i had no idea about those ones, so yeah calling them easy was not the move

I didn't know that and English is my native language.

Exactly the same I kept saying oceania

I guessed a few countries and finally got it right.
