Except that 'percussion' covers a very broad range of instruments, and a hi-hat is a different kind of cymbal to the one you are referring to. Anyway, don't you hit the ones that you hold with a stick of some kind? Whether they are on a drum kit or in your hand, you are still hitting a flattish, metal circle, so a hi-hat is a cymbal.
Hi-hat is most definitely a cymbal. "Percussion" is way too broad. Piano, xylophone, marimba, woodblock, maracas...these are all percussion instruments, and decidedly unlike the hi-hat.
I think “percussion” is definitely a “type” of instrument. If someone asked me what type of instrument is a trombone, I’d say brass. What type of instrument is a clarinet? Woodwind.
The hi-hat definitely belongs to the percussion family (all cymbals do), but maybe 'percussion instruments' is too broad to be called a 'type' of musical instrument. I would give it the benefit of the doubt and accept 'percussion', or rephrase the question.
To make it harder, I suggest changing the question to "What is the main ingredient in seafood risotto?" and then wait for the outraged cries of people who don't really know what risotto is.
I've only heard woofers and tweeters used to refer to singing voices, but I suppose those would coincide with one's speaking voice. I'm not sure if using them in the context of singing is just a secondary usage of the terms, but if anyone else knows, I'd be interested to hear. I tried every variation of singers/voices/singing voices/vocals/etc. that I could think of.
I only got it because I know all the Fast & Furious types outfit their cars with subwoofers to get that really irritating bass sound from their speakers in a misguided attempt to raise their coolness factor.
I don't think "woofers" and "tweeters" is even a secondary way of referring to singing, as you say. I've been a singer my entire life and never once heard a choral vocalist or soloist referred to as either a "woofer" or "tweeter".
Audio speakers are often referred to in this way though.
It's funny that the element that is named for the Sun accounts only for about a quarter of it, while the element that accounts for three quarters of it is named for water, which arguably few people associate with the Sun!
I find the most amazing fact regarding the Sun is that the Sun converts 600 million tons of hydrogen into 596 million tons of helium every second, that is every second!
It's a good quiz, but caimans (the namesake of the Cayman Islands) are not alligators, they are one of the four types of crocodilians (crocodiles, alligators, gharials, and caimans). They are related to alligators, but by no means alligators.
Hi 'ZooTuber3000'........ A caiman is an alligatorid belonging to the subfamily Caimaninae, one of two primary lineages within Alligatoridae, the other being alligators.
Although citrus fruits contain vitamin C, so do many other fruits and vegetables and impossible to name them all individually in a quiz such as this. e.g. Broccoli, peppers, blackcurrants etc. Whereas what counts is Vitamin C.
it always blows my mind that DNA is an acid. like, it's dissolved in water. when we picture acid we probably picture corrosive liquid in a test tube, and when we picture DNA we picture this solid double-helix. blows my mind every time that the latter is an example of the former.
And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo
Υ υ = ypsilon
Audio speakers are often referred to in this way though.
