A Trivial Pursuit Of Denial

Oh, that's a good idea. Just need to start finding sissies on here to get them to ask easy questions!

It's called lead sugar because you can eat it! (probably not) and it's used in tea??? (Definitely not, but it's early and I have no clue so...)

I wouldn't know where to start, is it a thing, an event? Who knows? I know I don't.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Although I guess that was the joke, I assume there's an actual answer like, everyone. But I'm not sure, so no one it is.

I don't think it's only the Biology/Chemistry questions I suck at. It seems like pretty much everything!

Now I of course know nothing about chemistry, but having heard of lead poisoning before the last thing I’d do with lead sugar is put it into tea. But who knows lol.

A sobriquet is essentially a nickname typically related to the original person in some way; you’d know who the king of rock and roll is, I’d assume

Quite the opposite: No one expects the Spanish Inquisition was essentially coined by Monty Python, you typically had 30 days notice they were coming to town… or pack up and leave if you knew you wouldn’t win your case. So close with your answer, yet you picked the wrong one

Oh, and the rule change sounds dubious - what’s the point of a denial thread building up time when you can just skip that if you get lucky I’d offer more reductions, but that depends on you actually knowing the answer

[SissyV]

Chemistry is fun I like it so how about another chemistry question but this one is really easy. What is the name of C6H12O6

[Chephren]

To be honest that's quite a correct answer. Most lead salts are sweet and this was used to sweeten wine. And to get the inheritance also for sweetening tea. It's called inheritance sugar in my country... and is not safe for drinking.

What are the three good constitutions following aristoteles?

The only reason I've been thinking about it is because with no end date at the moment, it's seeming like this could very quickly become an indefinite denial. Which I would like to avoid. However, it is my fault for setting the rules out in such a way it may become indefinite, so I guess I've made my bed, so to say.

I saw this question like an hour ago and I've been putting off answering because I know I did this at school but I just can't remember. It's on the tip of my tongue but I annoyingly can't jog my memory (I 100% remember the 6, 12, 6)!!

Originally Glucose came to mind but then I started doubting, remembering some of the hydrocarbon stuff I did and starting to think about fuels etc. That lead me to believe it could be diesel or petrol. But I still can't put my finger on what it is. I'm gonna go with Glucose because I should start to trust my gut a bit more!

Well, I can't say I know any...

[Chephren]

monarchy, aristocracy and politie (while the bad ones are tyranny, oligarchie and democracy) A constitution is good if its main goal is the good for all people.

Yup it’s glucose

How do air conditioners work?

Is it literally just a compressor with an intake.. Not sure what detail you'd want.

Final day of denial is the 7th July, with a few answers to be checked yet. That's over a month from the start!

[Chephren]

Who made the following sentence famous? (copied to not make a mistake from the original, so a bit of a strange language)

"What Man to Man is a kind of God; and that Man to Man is an arrant Wolfe"
more known as "homo homini lupus est."

[SissyV]

Fine no more biology and chemistry so let’s do some math, what is the commutive property of addition?

And how does a compressor with an intake make a room colder?

That is still my question from yesterday. For today, what is the sum of all interior angles of a triangle?

[knorke]

Where would you find the western wall?

What is the capital of Australia?

I assume it's Latin. Even then though I don't know too many Romans, so I'll go with my boy Julius Caesar. I don't think it will be him though

I'm not really sure what you're asking for to be honest, maybe something like a + a = 2a

Well by 'sucking' cool air from the outside to the inside. I assume an APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) would start it up and the compressor would 'suck' air from the outside, where it's generally cooler and blowing it inside. I imagine there's a pressure gradient across the compressor and that would be the 'sucking', as air flows through it. Proper air conditioners would have some kind of cooling for the air to flow through, whether it's a cooled water system or whatever..

Sadly England doesn't normally stay hot enough to justify the purchase of an air conditioner.

180 degrees or pi radians.

West East Berlin or West West Berlin maybe. Can't say any particular wall comes to mind, if I'm honest, so just went with Berlin.

No... that's not correct. Hobbes it was...
