General Knowledge Quiz

[Steph]

I'm not sure I understand the question well.

Are we searching someone who was both the youngest and the oldest player to win?

or

are we searching two person, one who was the youngest, and the one who was the oldest?

 

[Ozbenno]

One person, he was the youngest ever and oldest ever to win

 

[Olav]

Lleyton Hewitt? It's the only Australian tennis player I know of...

 

[woodelf]

Was Rod Laver Australian?

 

[Ozbenno]

Rod Laver is much closer (in era) the Hewitt to the correct answer.

Went by the nickname "Muscles".

 

[woodelf]

That French chick? She has muscles.

I have no clue.

 

[Ozbenno]

You guys don't know your Aussie tennis stars of yesteryear!!

it is of course Ken Rosewall.He won (as an 18 year old) in 1953 and also in 1972 (as a 37 year old), being the youngest and oldest player to win the Aussie open.

Open floor.

 

[Olav]

This one should be quite easy: What nation uses this flag?

 

[Grisu]

that should be Bhutan

 

[Olav]

That would be correct.

 

[Grisu]

ok, here's the next one:

Name the officially Top 8 hockey nations in international Ice Hockey, preferably in the right order.

 

[nonconformist]

1.Canada
2.USA
3.Switzerland
4.Russia
5.China
6.France
7.Germany
8.Finland

 

[Grisu]

there's three countries in there that don't belong there (and as a result three countries missing). Most notably, the top ranked country is missing....

 

[Steph]

Isn't the Czech republic in the top?

 

[Grisu]

somewhere up there, yes.....

 

[Olav]

I don't think China and Switzerland (sorry, Kaeptn ) should be on that list. And maybe not France or Germany either. The replacements should indeed be the Czhech Republic, and Sweden and perhaps Denmark.

no need to be sorry...doesn't make you right, though

the maybe-part is correct, the perhaps-part not, and the first sentance is only half-right

 

[Olav]

So... Switzerland is in, but not China. And both France and Germany are out. Lets see:

- Czhech R
- Switzerland
- Finland
- Sweden
- USA
- Canada
- Russia
- ???

I guess the last one is Italy. No, Belarus!

 

[Grisu]

the missing country used one country together with one of those already mentioned....now it should be obvious

 

[Olav]

Ah, Slovakia?
