Kids know so little about WW2 these days. Strange, I was almost buried in WW2 information during high school. And that was only a few years ago :P
I recently saw a quiz on T.V. The question was:
What "side" was Germany on during WW2:
a) Hostile (Axis) Nations
b) Allied Nations
c) Neutral Position
The person (a woman) in the quiz answered NEUTRAL. OMGWTF :P

Anyway, question:
The member of what secret society carried out an assassination that was the catalyst for World War 1? So name the secret society.

About your question, I have an answer: "The Black Hand."

Okay, a question about a question on my exam that I need somebody to answer: What were the three big mistakes of Napoleon Bonaparte?
1. Napoleon's conquest in the far-east was Napoleon's Foot Troops prevailed but English Navy with the leadership of Admiral Nelson destroyed
Napoleon's navy
2.Napoleon can't attack England because his armies were held by English Navy on the Channel
3.The biggest mistake was invasion to Russia This happened because Napoleon broke the Tilsit Convenant and by that he sent lots of army
To Russia he can rule Moscow BUT he was kicked by Russian rebels the result is only 10% of Army Of France can get out of there alive
IS THAT CLEAR?
And if it's correct
The question is who defeated Napoleon in Waterloo?

What is the Sussex pledge? [WW2]
Title: Re: Exam question Trivia game
Post by: Tirion on May 26, 2010, 04:26:45 pm
The undertaking of the Sussex Pledge was:
    * Passenger ships would not be targeted;
    * Merchant ships would not be sunk until the presence of weapons had been established, if necessary by a search of the ship;
    * Merchant ships would not be sunk without provision for the safety of passengers and crew.

I got it in Wikipedia

Next Question:

Who was Stalin?

Anyway don't ask too much about WW2 although they are interesting
 :P
Title: Re: Exam question Trivia game
Post by: Geoni on May 26, 2010, 11:34:35 pm
Its okay, the Sussex pledge question wasn't on my exam today, which was easy but there were 200 questions to answer in an hour and a half. Basically the Sussex pledge prohibits unrestricted marine warfare.

Stalin? Well that guy was the fascist leader of the soviet union. Signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler, whom screwed him over later in the war but was a bad move on his case, because it marked the beginning of Hitlers downfall.  

Ugh, exams have me pooped. On top of that I'm really tired and sick this week...

This isn't obvious, but for anyone who has studied U.S History it's a no brainer...he's the most influential chief justice to the U.S that ever took office.

bah here's a math one. in the cauchy proof why can't epsilon be less than zero? bonus points if you don't have to check wiki to know what the cauchy proof is. extra bonus points if you can state what the implecations for the proof if epsilon is less than zero.

Post by: verden on June 03, 2010, 04:03:09 pm
I "know of" this proof, which is not the same thing as being able to utilize it. But it is a proof and you cannot posit a negative so it simply wouldn't apply if the values were less than zero.
Title: Re: Exam question Trivia game
Post by: bloodedIrishman on June 03, 2010, 05:46:34 pm
Wrong Verden. The negatives do apply because as you will see in this equation...

1 - (-Fish) = 2 Fish

Post by: verden on June 03, 2010, 05:55:43 pm
Damn. So much for that lol! Would you believe that I can usually get the right answer about half the time with an answer like that (if I don't actually know the answer)?
Title: Re: Exam question Trivia game
Post by: bloodedIrishman on June 03, 2010, 07:24:03 pm
Well you just didn't assume that I wouldn't have that not so stupid equation that wasn't not right and when I continue to use these negatives in a fashion that doesn't not make your head spin you can safely assume (not unlike previously before) that I don't know anything about math above its practical uses in my not so everyday life.
Title: Re: Exam question Trivia game
Post by: Tirion on June 17, 2010, 05:00:36 am
If you don't KNOW the answer ask another that you don't know
Title: Re: Exam question Trivia game
Post by: steuben on June 17, 2010, 05:34:06 am
okay here's the answer. epsilon can not be less than zero since be definition of the proof epsilon is an absolute value, which by definition is always positive.
if epsilon was less than zero then you are working in a surreal space, and the cauchy proof would have to be extended to cover it. which is left as an exercise for the class.
