Spiritclaws Trivia Challenge Round 1 (continued)

[Spiritclaw]

First up, the rules. The rules are subject to change at any time, but if they do, you will be notified within the thread about it.

Several times each day I will post a group of trivia questions.

1) Each question will be worth a varying ammount of points.

2) Questions will presented in the following format


Quote:
1: Question 1 here (point value)


3) The first person to correctly answer the question will be awarded the points assigned to it.

4) To make things a little more fair for everybody involved, each individual may choose to answer as many questions as they like, up to 12 points. Once a person has 12 points of questions answered, they must wait one half hour before posting answers to more questions (unless I post updating scores & questions. Then you're free to post.).

5) If somebody else answers a question correctly first, you may choose another question to answer.

6) Each round will consist of 50 - 100 questions. Once all those have been answered, the next round can start.

7) Whoever has the highest point tally at the end of the contest, wins the title of Trivia Master (or Uber Geek whichever you prefer :P lol)

That is correct.

I think that #7 (the one about the Austrian composer-conductor who wrote Romantic symphonies involving large numbers of singers and instrumentalists) is too vague. I mean, a few people have tried to answer it, and technically their answers (with the exception of maybe one of them) could have been correct. Are we talking about composers of the Romantic era only, or are also including any composers who touched on Romanticism before and since the Romantic era?

I think this one and #10 (about the horses) should either be revised to be less vague (or to at least point us in the direction of what you're looking for) or changed to different questions.

However, it's your trivia thing. 'Tis merely a suggestion.

For #7 when I type Austrian composer conductor in Google search, the name I am looking for is on the first page of results.

For #10, I'll look through to see who answered it. In the google search I just did I see some of the names that were given as answers. However the answers in my source were Eclipse, Herod, and Matchem.

aflred hitchcock?

Wrong. Besides, Hitchcock died in 1980. If he directed and starred in movies for 10 years after he died, I want what he had.

Mozart?

Mozart was classical and didn't use any Romantic styles, so that better not be the answer.

[Cenanan]

I dunno, i was just going off of what he said about google. only mozart and one other were on the page and the other only did like.. 3 things.

[Muse]

Yeah, I did the same search he said he did yesterday, and that's the only reason I even tried Stoltz.

[Spiritclaw]

It can also mean chicken. (Hooray for latin!)

Aw, my baby DID learn something from my ramblings about music.

actually i learned about it on the history channel because it was about him and how hilter used him as an example of pure german music, arts, etc. His daughter, daughter-in-law or something was also a very hardcore nazi and helped hitler do it. Hitler also attened the yearly musical festival for Wagner.

Not quite the answer I was looking for (based on my source) It is close though.

[NhomerS]

1) I'm guessing you're referring to Kant's views of the noumena and phenomena or something of the likes? I'm not sure if that is considered psychology, but I believe in modern terms it is referred to as the "identity theory". I don't think that's how he originally framed it, but I could be wrong.

[NhomerS]

59) All the three movies feature a post-nuclear disaster world.

I'm looking for something different, else Crisis would have gotten it with his post. You're both on the right track with the nuclear disaster. Just think about what sort of thing would happen should something like that happen. What would it be called.
