Answer: The longest side of the triangle is can just be called the longest side but, in the case of a right-angled triangle we call it the hypotenuse!
Original post by Notnek
Depends what kind of triangle it is.
"Known as" isn't congruent to the mathematically correct answer.:tongue:

Really? First person with fastest internet wins..?
Considering this is one the internet... you could always attend a real quiz if you're disgruntled.:tongue:

I feel like this would be waaaaay simpler if it was done on a chatting website, like, Discord, or Skype, or WhatsApp.
It would then be the WhatsApp pub Quiz, not the TSR pub quiz.:tongue: I'm not changing the name.:shakecane:

On the European Continent - Iceland (Not Including Overseas Territories)

Spoiler


Technically it depends on how you measure it. Continent is a single land mass so Iceland would not be a part of it.

European country here excluded those countries who are controlled by another country (like Denmark and Greenland) or the example you gave.

That was the first book? Googling may not get you far... But my mum is the resident Narnia expert and she reckons that was the first book not film...
Ok I'm probably getting too competitive here :lol:
From research, Cair Paravel appears at the end of the first film.:yep:

Charn also features, although it is technically destroyed at this point. Points will be awarded for both answers.

Hello all.:hello:

Thanks for a great quiz.:biggrin:

I've decided to award half a point to anyone who got the right answer before I'd posted the next question. It's not entirely fair that some people's internet's are faster than others and I know how brutal timing can be in Forum games since I once posted something during the exact same second as someone else, whereby half of users saw me first, and the other half saw the other post first.:redface: First person to post still gets a full point though so it's worth posting in early.:wink:

Good quizzing by @sammychu00, @Labrador99 and @BuzzyB73 :yy:

Special mention to @Kindred for making me laugh the most, particularly this post:

I appreciate that this quiz took longer than expected, tomorrow I'm going to post the questions without engaging in banter in between.:cool: This should speed up the process.

The time will also be earlier at approximate 6pm.:ninja: I know that some people are unable to make this and I apologise, but there will be many more opportunities to collect points.:colondollar:

Thanks a million for joining in.:biggrin:

TL;DR Next Quiz, tomorrow, 6pm, this thread, general knowledge.

Yeah guys, no banter. This is a formal quiz and should be treated as such. :tongue:

Damn. Wish I'd kept posting answers now that there's half points. Oh well, I'm going to kick ass in all the others anyway so it doesn't matter.
Everybody else might as well give up now. :biggrin:

Wait, hang on... was one of the questions actually about Narnia?? No way! :eek:
