Hello DSA!
The first week of Forest's trivia competition has ended!
Here are the answers:
Forest Trivia Answers Week One
.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question 1 -
What is the connection between these four seemingly random clues?
- Brezhnev
- Andropov
- Gorbachev
- Medvedev
Answer 1 -
- Answer = They are all former USSR/Russian leaders.
- I am aware that Medvedev was in fact a leader after the USSR fell whereas the other 3 were pre-USSR. That was a slight mistake on my part there so I apologise (thanks to Verdant Haven for pointing that out)
- Other Accepted Answers = anything along the lines of the above answer
- Will NOT accept = They are all Russian or They all end in "V"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question 2 -
What is the connection between these four seemingly random clues?
- Armourers
- Legends
- Headlights
- Kneeling
Answer 2 -
- Answer = They all have human body parts at the start of the word. - Armourers
- Legends
- Headlights
- Kneeling
- Other Accepted Answers = N/A
- Will NOT accept = They are all related to medieval Knights
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question 3 -
What would come 4th in this sequence?
- Laura
- Michelle
- Melania
- ?
Answer 3 -
- Answer = Jill
- Explanation = They are all the first names of the last four US first ladies. So we have - - Laura Bush
- Michelle Obama
- Melania Trump
- Jill Biden
- Will NOT accept = Practically everything else, lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question 4 -
What would come 4th in this sequence?
- Earth
- Wind
- Fire
- ?
Answer 4 -
- Answer = Water
- Explanation = They are the four elements of life... Enough said really. Some people were asking why it was that I used "wind" instead of "air" which is entirely valid. I have heard both used but I decided to go with wind for this since that is the most commonly used that I've heard. Apologies for any confusion on this one...
- Other Accepted Answers = September, the great song by Earth, Wind and Fire... Well done on the two people who recognised that... I will also accept "air" due to what I've mentioned above...
- Will NOT accept = I think everyone got this so well done!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Question 5; DOUBLE POINTS! -
What would come 4th in this sequence?
- Skateboarding
- Speed Climbing
- Surfing
- ?
Answer 5 -
- Answer = Breaking/Break-Dancing
- Explanation = They are the most recent sports added to the Olympics - Skateboarding (Tokyo 2020)
- Speed Climbing (Tokyo 2020)
- Surfing (Tokyo 2020)
- Breaking (Paris 2024)
- Other Accepted Answers = Karate as that was also introduced in 2020. Either answer is acceptable really...
- Will NOT accept = Swimming... It may look like they are in alphabetical order which a lot of people went for but unfortunately Squash would disrupt that sequence. I genuinely thought I had messed up and put two answers in there so thanks to all those who gave me a mini heart-attack, hehe...

The person who is at the top of the overall leaderboard at the end of the term, shall receive a grand prize of 5 legendaries!
Helpful Tips
If you don't know the answer, just have a guess! There's no harm in having an educated guess, you might just be right!
Watch out for a word question! If the clues seem so random that you just can't find a connection, it could be that it's a word question! The words themselves could be the connection!
If you aren't sure about the answer to the question, when you're submitting them, try to explain your thinking to me! If your thinking is correct but you don't quite get the answer, you'll get half of a point. They all count in the long run!
Take your time! There's no rush... You have a week to answer the questions so you have plenty of time to think and trivialise!
And most importantly...
Have fun!
