Haha. Its amusing to see none of the good old martial arts fans know which style makes the most powerful strikes :D

Other than that, almost all of the questions have been answered correctly by someone or the other :)

However those writing the REASON or the explanation for their answers will get their marks deducted because the next posting members may look at the reason posted and copy out the answer or start their thought train based on the reasoning of the previous member :evilgrin:

Also, this quiz [and hopefully others will follow] is intended to improve your little brains and smack some worthy knowledge in them. So quit complaining pansies, stop wanking for an hour or two, and give your minds [YeaH, they're also a part of you although now abandoned] some work to do.

Re: IQ And General Knowledge Quiz 1
 

Who're these fans you speak of?

Fuck that, Bruce Lee. Incidentally, there is a metal poster of him half naked above my screen so I can see him all hours of the day.

:Puzzled: Yeahhhh. I'm gonna be over here now, with the slightly saner people.

I'd think so too, other than for the fact we get research requests like this all the time and someone does mean something non-obvious. I think it's included as a trick question, do one thing they say the other.

Excellent tries for a bunch of halfwit drunks. Anyway here are the answers:

1 Bullet ant. Naming the tarantula hawk wasp would also be marked right.

2 Time

3 Car. An airplane might FLY faster than any car but when it comes to running, racing cars are a LOT faster!

4 none of these

5 indians. exact person[s] not known

6 a heavyweight boxer's punch is considered to be the most powerful hit. however some consider a kickboxer's knee strike to be the most powerful. specifying either would have been correct

7 more

8 wolf [europe and america myths] and 100 years old snake [india pakistan and bangladesh myths]

9 false

10 ten km

Adrian Tepes: 3

Toph: 3.75

Asheekay you tit, cars don't run either!

Also, the Indian version of chess is not the same as modern chess, which originated as a modified version of a similar Indian game (called shatranj ) in Europe relatively recently.
