Q&A Session, a game for the bored

Dan_N · Fri 09/02/2007 19:06:55

Right, I've seen this done on other forums, and it seemed fun.

The way this works is this: the topic started (ie. me) asks a question. The following poster answer said question and then asks another question. The next posters answers the last poster's question and asks another one, and so on, and so forth.

I know that doing things that worked on other forums aren't well received here, but post only if you'd like to join in, don't post just to attack this thread, please.

Questions can be serious or not serious, same goes for answers

.

Ok, here's an easy first joke question:

Why is the sky blue?

ManicMatt · Fri 09/02/2007 19:12:22

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.

Now my question:

Why did Dan think this would be a good idea when he fully well knew we'd think it was stupid?

Gamer_V · Fri 09/02/2007 19:12:53

Because this forum is full of whiners.

What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Dan_N · Fri 09/02/2007 19:22:51

People.

Please try and keep within the game rules, ok?

Of course, I have no control over you, but I urge you all to post within the rules. If you don't plan to, don't post.

Thanks.

I'll reask Gamer's question:

Where would we be without rhetorical questions?

monkey0506 · Fri 09/02/2007 19:28:50

Jon you're wrong! You're all wrong! The answer is 42!

Would this make me feel bad? Should it? Am I allowed to make multiple questions? If not is it possible to reserve teh previous one as my official answer and Edit my post? Can I thank you in advance?

ManicMatt · Sat 10/02/2007 10:33:50

Geeze, you people really don't know? The original typewriter was in alphabetical order, but people typed to fast and got those bits behind the keys jammed, so they made the keyboard have the letters put into the qwerty order to slow people down. Seriously!

Why is World of Warcraft so damned addicting.

(side note, qwerty wasn't invented to slow down typists, it was invented to get the most commonly used together keys farther apart, it kept fast typers from jamming up the hammers when they pressed the keys. Secondly, the Dvorak (sp?) keyboard layout is made so that the most common keys pressed together are on opposite hands, as it turns out people type faster when they have to alternate hands while typing. Something about having time to reposisiton your fingers while the other hand is typing the key, so you are ready to type the next letter right after the previous letter is typed.)

Because its designers have found a good balance in the strife/reward relation. After a certain amount of going through troubles, the game will give you rewards, making the player's brain send out dopamin, causing a sense of satisfaction that will make the player addicted.

What is the origin of "&"?

SSH · Tue 13/02/2007 12:40:43

Printers would set out the type one character at a time in the days of old, saying to their assistants who passed them the letters: "U and R and M and O and M" etc. However, when they wanted a "&" symbol they would end up saying "S and and and M" which was confusing. So, they used to say instead, "S and, per se, and, and M" and the "and, per se, and" got muddled around into "ampersand"...

The correct answer is:

Quote from: SPAM.comWhat is SPAMÂ® made of?
SPAMÂ® Classic is made of just a few simple ingredients. Ham, pork, sugar, salt, water, a little potato starch, and a mere
hint of sodium nitrite to help SPAMÂ® keep its color. Sounds delicious, and it is.

But seeing as I was beaten to the punch...6.42 billion. People. In the world. Exactly.

Who is Carmen Sandiego and why does she keep hiding?

That's TWO questions! I choose to say why she keeps hiding.

Because in doing so she's amassed quite a fortune to herself with all the Carmen Sandiego merchandise, and is getting ready for a red-hot affair with ArsÃ¨ne Lupin.

A. Yes, I've had enough.
Q. Is that your answer, Rui?

Ashen · Wed 14/02/2007 14:47:23

Actually, 42 is the answer to 'The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything'. What that question is, AFAIK, isn't revealed - but it's not likely to be 'What is the meaning of life?' so, Rui, you kind of didn't answer that one.

And is it fair to address a question to one particular person? Seems like it'd hold things up, until that person posts.
(I don't think this question counts, because I wasn't answering the last one.)

Which game should REALLY have won the p3N1S award?

Quote from: Douglas AdamsMany many millions of years ago a race of hyperintelligent pandimensional beings (whose physical manifestation in their own universe is not dissimilar to our own) got so fed up with the constant bickering about the meaning of life which used to interrupt their favorite pastime of Brockian Ultra Cricket (a curious game which involved suddenly hitting people for no readily apparent reason and then running away) that they decided to sit down and solve their problems once and for all.
And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super computer...

So the reason they built the super computer was in fact to determine the meaning of life. There is a bit of ambiguity when they actually ask the computer to tell them the meaning, in that they actually ask for the Answer to Life, not the meaning of life:

Quote from: Douglas Adams"O Deep Thought computer," [Fook] said, "the task we have designed you to perform is this. We want you to tell us . . ." he paused, "the Answer!"
"The Answer?" said Deep Thought. "The Answer to what?"
"Life!" urged Fook.
"The Universe!" said Lunkwill.
"Everything!" they said in chorus.

What a silly question. YTMND - The Game should have won of course!*

How many clothespins can you pin on your testicles before one of them explodes?

The exact number of clothespins equal the number of angels who can dance on the head of a pin. Really. Try it.

Should we look at this thread from the very beginning and count all the questions that were answered with less than obvious and sometimes disputeable replies, and compare them with all the ones that clearly weren't answers at all by, simply put, not answering the question?

Even though it sits on my shelf in it's very nice limited Edition packaging, will I EVER get round to playing Godfather - The average videogame on PS2?

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Wed 14/02/2007 23:04:45

That depends on whether you want to play a game you yourself don't know whether you'll ever play... or whether you consider selling it, in mint condition, limited Edition and all. In your heart, you'll know the answer.

What is the greatest lesson that life has taught YOU?

Keyser SÃ¶ze (IPA pronunciation: [kajz sozej]) is a fictional character in the 1995 movie "The Usual Suspects", written by Christopher McQuarrie. In the film, SÃ¶ze is an underworld kingpin whose ruthlessness and influence have a legendary, even mythical status among law enforcement agents and criminals alike. In the liner notes for The Usual Suspects soundtrack album, director Bryan Singer describes him as a mystical character.
