< Wikipedia:Wikifun

Round 7 will be similar to the previous round: 20 questions will be posted, all at once. The first nine questions correctly answered are worth one point each for the poster of the first correct answer. The next five questions answered are worth two points. The next five questions to be answered are worth three points, and the last one is worth four. (Note: it's the order in which questions are answered correctly that determines the number of points awarded for a question, not the numbering below!) In case of a tie, there will be a tie-breaker, to be answered only by those tied. Hopefully the questions are difficult (or mean, if you like :-) enough to let the contest last for a few days...

The Questions

edit

These are the questions for round 7. If you have found the answer to one of them, use the "Answer this question" links below the questions. You have to specify where on Wikipedia you found the answer, and I would like to know too how you found that location.

There can be more than one individual to answer a question, as the first may be wrong. Remember to place your timestamp to ensure your place. When all questions are answered, the winners will be posted in chronological order (that is if their answers are right). The individual with the most correct answers will be contacted and asked to assist in the next task line-up.

Grue

Note: please remember:

  • The way you found the answer is more important than the answer. Please provide the links to Wikipedia articles that helped you to find the answer.
  • the last question to be answered is now worth 4 points; also tenth question is upgraded to two points, and fifteenth to three. More points is more fun, isn't it? Look at Pinball ;).
  • Wikipedia (and sister project) pages in other languages than English are off-limit.
