[Kuno of Gersenau]

no, wrong as well....:wink:

[FrankishHero]

Valletta?

[Kuno of Gersenau]

yes, Valetta is right.

The city is named after Jean Parisot de la Valette, Grand master of the knights hospitaller during the siege of Malta by the Ottoman forces in 1565.

[catt]

Yeah, Stockholm really didn't sound like a name at all...

[FrankishHero]

Well I thought about that, as Holm means 'home' or 'house' so it could have been the Home of Stock...


Anyway:

What object did the ancient Romans show to signal the start of battle?

A: A black flag
B: A white flag
C: A red flag
D: A blue flag

[Talarurus]

I think a red flag :scratch:

[Largefry07]

A: A black flag

[FrankishHero]

Talarurus is correct.

[Talarurus]

Oh, no - Now I remember why I didn't post here - because I hate searching questions :rolleyes:

*searches questions*

[catt]

Then I'll take white simply because it would be the opposite of today.

[Kuno of Gersenau]

Talarurus, did you find a question now? :wink:

[Talarurus]

Hmm, not really :bash:

O.K., I don't know, how difficult this question is, but here it is:

When died Alexander the Great?

a) 313 BC
b) 323 BC
c) 317 BC
d) 355 BC

:silly:

[Kuno of Gersenau]

B) 323 Bc?

I havein mind that it was in the twenties, so I'll take this one...

[Talarurus]

Right! :rolleyes:

But now, you have to look for a question :eviltongu :biggrin:

[catt]

Well, that was an easy one. :silly:
And I'm not in the forum for 5 mins and the right answer is already taken. :lol:

[Kuno of Gersenau]

Well I was just told an interesting fact about the Quran today, so it's not a big problem finding a question for once...:wink:

According to what are the suras ("chapters") in the Quran ordered?

A) Topic
B) lenght
C) age
D) authors
E) alphabetical order
F) no order at all

[catt]

I'll pick b: length.

If it's an interesting fact, it's surely not something one would think of first (topic or author or age).

[Kuno of Gersenau]

hehe that was fast...you're right! :hello:

[catt]

Not really. :eek:
To be honest, I thought it would have been sorted by topic but that felt too logical for a quiz-question.

Now, let me think of one... :scratch:
--
How old are Dolores and her later lover Humbert Humbert at the beginning of Nabokov's novel?

a) 14 and 32
b) 13 and 42
c) 12 and 37
d) 12 and 27
e) 13 and 39
f) 14 and 41

[Kuno of Gersenau]

I've no idea bout the story you're asking about, so I'll just make a wild guess:

B)13 and 42 ?
