Too easy!


I'm running out of questions that aren't easily googled.

looksee

Oi!! I didn't google that, or any of the others. If I don't know I just guess or don't answer. I think everyone else has been doing the same!

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest you did. I meant I try to post questions that don't lend themselves to googling.

Knuckles suitably rapped!! :D Told yiz, Looksee can go all kangaroo at times! :D

looksee

Yeah, well that's me, not the mod!

Anyway I need a question, come to think of it, hang on...

looksee

Ok, on the subject of kangaroos, what is the gestation period of a kangaroo? (ie, not including the time it is in the pouch).

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Based on it being nothing more than an embryo that crawls to the pouch and on the size of the animal I'd make a pure guess of 6 weeks.

looksee

I think you would want to be a bit nearer than that...not bad though!

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

OK, just to revive the thread, 5 weeks.

looksee

Yes, sorry I should have come back and sorted this thread. Anyway, yes you are right, 30 to 35 days.

Over to you!

What have Belgium, Chad, Ireland and Mali in common?

looksee

I suspect they have similarish flags, though can't be any more specific.

I think there is only us chickens here Srameen!

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Oh, you'd have to be more specific to meet my exacting standards.

Yes, very quite. Has the bad weather wiped out the weaker among us? I love nature's ways!

Jellybaby1

Well there's little old me still hanging round in between Christmas preparations. I'm just being very quiet as an observer as I don't know any answers.

Ouldfellas don't still work. We're well past that.

abff

I'm glad this quiz is easier. I'd hate to have to try the harder one. Any chance of a clue? I presume it is something to do with flags or is that just a red herring?

Would France and Italy also have the same thing in common?

You know, you could be on to something there....

looksee

Is uppy downy stripes enough? I don't know the colours.

Stop teasing me.

Come on now. Never mind what the colours are. What's common to those uppy downy stripey thingies?

You have to say it. I'm going to make you say it.

looksee

There is just a teeny bit of revenge going on here, isn't there?:D

Ok, we know which way the Irish ones go, and I happened to know that the Chad one was the same (I have no idea why I know anything about the Chad flag). With the introduction of the French and Italian flags we can assume that the others have three equal stripes (two up and one down )

I always thought it was one up and two down but, yes, all tricolours.

Whew!!!! I'm glad that's over.

Time for a lie down.

looksee

Something that was originally called a 'hookless fastener' is now more familiar as what?

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

A zip?

looksee

Hm, that was too easy! Yes you have it!

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

I don't want it!


I'm dry on ideas.

Someone else have a go.

Could also be Velcro - sometimes known as God's gift to the stripper:).

No, Velcro is loads of tiny hooks, thousands of them.
