+The Bongtwashes Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 What about the song which only has the lyric Doop or is that abit late! i think it was called Doop and sang by doop! Sorry, officially an instrumental, so no lyrics. No correct answers so far. At the time it was released, it also contained the longest sustained vocal note in a Top 40 song. Link to comment

Edgemaster Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 It is well known (and correct) that 6×9=54 But when does 6×9=42 ? Link to comment
+pray4mojo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 6x9=42 if you use base 13 to work out the sum, at least I think it is Link to comment
Edgemaster Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 DING! I should add a little to this, originally 6x9=42 was used in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. When later confronted by fans with the above answer, Douglas Adams replied: nobody writes jokes in base 13 [...] I may be a pretty sad person, but I don't make jokes in base 13. Link to comment
+pray4mojo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 So Here's my first question: On what Two factors does the physical value known as the gamma factor depend on? And also for a bonus point what is the value of the known one of these? Link to comment
StuartP Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 So Here's my first question: On what Two factors does the physical value known as the gamma factor depend on? And also for a bonus point what is the value of the known one of these? That'll be the speed of light, and the velocity at which the object is traveling. Speed of light being 300,000,000 metres per second. Link to comment

+pray4mojo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 DING Correct answer StuartP! And You got the bonus marks... This factor is used in many equations relating to objects travelling near to that of the speed of light, and is used in the explaintion of events such as time dialation and the contraction of objects at high speed.

StuartP Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Time to throw in a picture round. http://www.geochat.co.uk/images/butterfly.jpg The image above looks real enough, but has a hidden meaning. Whats the meaning ? And for a bonus mark, what is the significance of the butterfly's body ? Cheers Stuart (Feeling a little devious) Link to comment

StuartP Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Is it the emblem of some country/state and behind the body is an outline of the country/state ? Nope. But you're getting close. Heres a clue: You might have to scout around to find the answer. Link to comment

SlytherinAlex Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) Who is the most famous person to have come from Keynsham, nr Bristol. I'll spell that - K E Y N S H A M. And what was he famous for? EDIT: Having thought about this, I suppose fame is a bit subjective. So to narrow it down, the correct person is more connected with football than cricket. So that rules out Marcus Trescothick. Edited October 30, 2006 by SlytherinAlex Link to comment
