    SDC Trivia Game #398 - 27/06/2024

    Question two is stupid. Panama is NOT the only country that has coastlines on both the Atlantic Ocean (via the Caribbean Sea) and the Pacific Ocean. Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica also have coastlines on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Canada and USA have...

    The Robin Hood question appeared at least three times in the past week. I would like to see more variety. Plus in Australia, tyres are used on wheels, not tires.

    Remember this 'luxury' supermarket item Aussies used to buy? It’s still around—prepare for a wave of nostalgia!

    Definitely don’t taste as good as the original. One look at the list of ingredients will confirm that. There’s no mention of actual ice cream anywhere.

    Only mine separate questions today? Slack. Q 3 and Q 7 were IDENTICAL. Not good enough.

    Re Question 5: What year was the miniskirt first popularized? The answer choices were all decades, not yeears. Learn the difference, it is significant. Plus for an allegedly Australian website, why the American spelling "Popularized?" Try replacing the "z" with an "s." And if you must recycle...

    Q4: It may be a philosophical oddity with no definitive answer but it’s a BS answer. Just because there is no witness to an observable sound-creating event does NOT preclude the generation of that sound. In this case the science of physics trumps philosophy.

    Re q7: get a dictionary and look up the meaning of nemesis. It’s totally out of context with the ”answer“ you provided.

    Q7 is poorly worded. When combined, which two bones form the longest bone in the human body? The given answer refers to a single bone.

    There are three correct answers to question five: how many movies did John Wayne appear in? A: Over 130; B: over 90: C: over 170 or D: over 200. While C is given as the correct answer, A and B are also correct as 170 is a figure that's over both 130 and 90.

    Scam alert: Pensioner falls victim to simple, innocent text from her ‘daughter’

    Banks need to lift their game. I was caught out by a MyGov scam - I am new the the MyGov system - but was able to take action in cancelling my credit card BEFORE any loss of funds. My issue is that I was waiting on the phone for almost 25 minutes before the call was taken by a banking...

    ‘You’re provoking me’ – Australian cleaning habit baffles French expat

    I have a dual sink setup. Dirty dishes, etc start on the left side drainer, the left sink has hot soapy water while the right sink gets clean hot water. Wash and scrub, rinse and stack onto a rack on the right hand drainer section. Then, if my fragile back is up to it, I'll dry them and puy them...

    The correct ‘anti-spill’ way to pour milk and juice

    Old news. Not that I buy milk cartons in that form. I get fresh milk which comes in screw-cap bottles or cartons with a fold-out spout. That UHT stuff doesn't even taste like milk should.

    Whipper Snipper or Brush Cutter – What do you call it?

    I would not try cutting a hedge with either a brushcutter or whipper-snipper if you're aiming to trim a hedge.

    Whipper Snipper or Brush Cutter – What do you call it?

    It’s both, or rather, either. The lighter duty ones use a rapidly spinning nylon line, hence whipper-snipper. These do not have the power or torque required to get through heavy growth. For that you use a brush-cutter. These may use a much thicker nylon line than whipper-snippers but can also be...
