The Elo question had my stuck for a while. The Elo system was adopted from chess and applied to online gaming. I eventually got chess, but only after trying E-sports, gaming, competitive gaming, online gaming, computer gaming, starcraft, league of legends, etc.
Maybe you could clarify the question to reflect that this activity is where Elo was invented? Or possibly allow online gaming/esports to the accepted answers since Elo is used there also. Just my 2 cents
Whilst online gaming as become a pretty a big thing in recent times, Elo historically pertains to chess and is undoubtedly most known in that context. Also, Elo is only specific to certain gaming platforms, whereas it is uniform in chess.
In general use, eu- has a slightly different meaning than in scientific circles. In general use, eu- means "good, well", which is the opposite of dys-, which means "bad, ill, evil".
In scientific use, eu- means "true, genuine" instead of "good, well". I wouldn't quite call pro- an opposite since pro- means "forward, advancing". Eukaryotes have a membrane-bound nucleus, whereas when the coin was termed, i can only speculate that scientists at the time thought that prokaryotes were "forward or advancing" towards a membrane bound nucleus.
The Bible! What other book are you talking about? There is only one The Bible. What other religion than Christian could it be? Those who do not know this have missed out on some serious information.
Do you really need us to say the Jewish Torah or the Muslim Qur'an?
What? It's pretty obviously not talking about the "Bible of Classical Guitar Techniques" or the "Bible of the Adversary"...
"Quizmaster! I demand that you change the question to stop me confusing some dusty Christian Bible with the illustrious 'Bible of Illuminated Letters: A Treasury of Decorative Calligraphy'".
Not sure why "mal" is not an acceptable answer for the prefix. dictionary.com says mal- means "bad, badly, ill, poorly, wrong, wrongly" while dys- means "bad, ill, abnormal." I realize that dys- (like eu-) comes from Greek whereas mal- is of Latin origin, but I don't think that should disqualify it as an opposite.
