Which question did I guess correctly today? -

1 - Let's start with a freebie. In the Riftwar series, what is the name of the young boy who becomes the second most powerful magician in the world?

2 - Which of these was Andre 3000's first single off of the album ?

3 - At the end, who is Silverman's one and only?

4 - The Great Potato Marathon falls every year on the second of May. Contestants play a sort of egg-and-spoon race carrying a potato - where does this weird and wonderful event take place?

5 - Nick Cricker gives a cue for a song too early. Which song was it?

Obviously one, Sluffy since you got six questions right. I had no clue either - or about Commie's question. General knowledge anyone?

Well, I only blew one today.

1. What is the oldest city of the Philippines?
Your answer: Manila

The correct answer was Cebu

Cebu is in the Visayas group of island. It's also known as the "Queen city of the south".

71% of FunTrivia players have answered this question correctly in the past.
Question by player spetsnaz25. (play this quiz!) (report correction)

Must confess I'd never heard of Cebu. :oops: But at least I beat that slow Andy W. by one second.

Some things you just get worse at with practise. This is one of them :evil: Song lyrics beyond 1970 are beyond me, as are Quentin Tarrantino films. 6/10.

2. This name tag is for the Golden General who is in love with a very indecisive half-elf. That flash has blinded me, can you make out the name?
Your answer: Goldmoon

The correct answer was Laurana

Laurana earned the moniker Golden General for her courageous defense of Palanthas.

:shock: And now I see that it's a quiet morning down at Pickett's Lock, as well as in the Daffodil fields of Cumbria.

Will I ever win this bloody quiz, if only for a day? :(

2. How does Tom Cullen spell everything?
S-U-N
M-O-O-N
D-A-Y
N-I-G-H-T

:conf:
Who is Tom Cullen and what kind of a question is that anyway? Stopped me getting my first 10/10 too.

another nonsesical question blows a perfect score...

2. Who was Tam's outland wife?
Your answer: Morgase

The correct answer was Kari

It is speculated that Kari was actually a stilled/burned out Aes Sedai. Egwene was of course Rand's promised until she broke it off in "The Dragon Reborn" and Morgase and Modrellen were Andorian Queens.

Ditto. 9/10, would have been 10 but for that one. Took a phone call in the middle of it too, so time was out of the window.

A mentally disabled man who who travels with Nick Andros in The Stand. He also acts as a prophet of god, and when this happens he calls himself "God's Tom." Cannot spell or read, so he thinks M-O-O-N spells everything. M-O-O-N, that spells Tom! Tom briefly spied on the dark man in Las Vegas, escaping weeks before their fate was sealed. On his way back to boulder from Las Vegas, Tom stumbles upon Stuart Redman who had broken his leg and had, ironically enough, caught pneumonia from exposure to the elements.

Right now the Hog has two more bonus points than commie despite the fact they have the same score and time - wonder how they make these separations - obviously not alphabetical order.
