Just FYI: The term goose applies to the female in particular, while gander applies to the male in particular. Young birds before fledging are called goslings.
Why not? Cattle works to identify an individual as much as it does for groups, like Moose doesnt change whether it refers to one or many. Theyre rarely alone so its uncommon to hear it refer to one cattle.
They don't have to be alone for someone (a farmer, for instance) to have reason to speak of them as individuals. "A cattle," "that cattle," or "this cattle" is not how anyone refers to them.
Man...I ran through about 15 guitar players and never landed on Jimi Hendrix. I know he was good, but it's hard to put someone #1 with such a small body of work. Especially when guys like Clapton are still playing.
I recall reading that article. The reasoning was that Hendrix revolutionized the way the guitar is played, and his style was so original. It has since been ripped off by countless musicians, so even though he is gone, his guitar-playing isn't. Clapton is great, but he's a classic blues guitarist. His playing isn't original. It's just exceptionally good (and he has a great sense melody when soloing, which is something most players don't give enough attention to). Most guitar heroes are either bluesmen or shredders (think of hard rock and metal) that play well, but don't really reshape music. Then there are guys like Hendrix, Tom Morello, Chuck Berry, etc. that bring something really new. They always get elevated for their originality.
It is easily fixed by phrasing the question as a "two digit whole number."
In fact, 7.7, read correctly as "seven and seven tenths," has six syllables. As far as I can tell, in English instructional materials, this is the one correct way to read this number. It's "official". Here's an example, and another.
Obviously, it's also common ("informally"?) to read the places in a decimal number. So does the question mean "longest in any reading," "in the longest reading," or "in the shortest reading?" By the scale used in the question, does 12 have one syllable ("twelve") or two ("dozen"); does 144 have six syllables ("one hundred forty-four"), seven syllables ("a hundred and forty-four") or one ("gross")?
If we go by "number of syllables in shortest reading", "seven point seven" still ties with "seventy-seven" for most syllables and is also correct. And it's accepted!
I only tried sandals and flipflops (think i had to leave midquiz at that point, might ve gotten nothing, then again, might ve continued to other questions and not gotten back to it).
you think seventy seven is long wait till you hear 97 in french.
quatre vingt dix-sept. for some reason instead of making up a number for ninety they decided to make ninety four times 20 plus 10. then since its 97 its 4 times 20 plus 17
seventy is soixante dix: 60 plus 10
seventy one is soixante onze: 60 plus 11...etc
eighty is quatre vingt: 4 times 20
ninety seven is quatre vignt dix-sept: 4 times 20 plus 17
Exactly! Besides, unlike in English, all one digit numbers in French have only one syllable, so 7 (sept) in this case is not really special. And 94, 98 and 99 have each five syllables too.
I finally get all the badges, and the very next day the quizmaster releases a new badge with 100 quizzes. Not that I’m complaining or anything, this is a cool badge.
Really? So, "What did he wear?" "None". - makes no sense. None is a numbers term; so if the question was asking about "How many...?" then the answer may be "none". As it is, absolutely not.
Surely both 'tablets' and 'the law' are good enough for the Moses question? I tried both in vain so then I tried 'shopping' but that wasn't accepted either
Maybe don't accept "Zeus" as a type-in for Jupiter. The question specifically asks for the Roman god. Jupiter and Jove should be the only acceptable type-ins.
Zurich should not be a correct answer. The Canton of Zurich has more than 1 mio. inhabitants, while the City itself has about 400'000. It's like comparing New York (the state) and New York City.
negative seven has more syllables and is a 2 digit number....
trouble is that typing -77 reveals the current answer anyway

You didnt try stilletos?
flippers
clown shoes
roller skates
Then I gave up.

All mammals I can think of off the top of my head have a head, thorax, and abdomen.
at the 1960 Summer Olympics?
Nothing
So he didn't wear anything. The question is misleading.
