I've been searching the internet for 30 minutes and only found information that has little to dow with it. Could make up good info about it though and got it right

some top 20 players lost todays 30 points ?

I just used pure logic and guessed yesterday, as I was in a hurry due to the delay. I was right anyway

Yesterday's question was one of the few I actually had to look up but I can't say I had too much difficulties with that. Found it in 45 minutes or so (I already found the meaning of 'war' within half an hour - that was basically enough to answer the question but I wanted to be sure so it took me another 20 minutes to find the actual answer).

Thanks to this question I did rise 9 spots (#37 -> #28) on the overall ranking so all in all a good day for me

I only found the meaning of 'war' and I concidered that to be enough. For sure since it made sence with the 'normal' meaning of war in front of it.

There are still 16 people above me

It's not fair !!! Gramphos just guesses, and guesses right

I did not just guess. I used logic and guessed, and I wouldn't have guessed if not for the delay and the fact that I had a big Swedish test today (most of it was Greek (as Homeros)).

My logic was simple: I guessed on the only thing that sounded as try to gain something.

Where did you find this? I'm a bit curious.

I found the word yuddha (war), but what part of that means cow?

[Robert]

You should've been searching for the meaning of the Sikrits word 'war' and what it meant in english.

I don't know anymore where I found it, but 'war' means something like "more cows" thus than it was an easy conclusion

ok Gram, you're just the smartest one

yeah.. the thought came to me as well... dunno why I abandoned it...

Al'Kimiya,

That's why it took me relatively long to find the answer: I too originally looked up the words 'war' and 'make war' in Sanskrit libraries and looked at what else they could mean but I didn't find anything. So then I just used a regular search engine and searched for something like 'Sanskrit word war literally'. This gave me a huge list of useless trivia websites that mentioned that the Sanskrit word for 'war' literally 'means desire for more cows'. After searching a little further and refining my search terms I found some sort of school project website about India which as a sidenote mentioned that 'make war' literally means 'searching cows' in Sanskrit. School projects aren't always the most reliable sources of historic information but that site combined with the useless trivia websites was enough evidence for me...

His show entertained children for 30 years. He died of a massive stoke Tuesday at the age of 73. He will be missed by many, including myself.

Back on topic, has the trivia question gone un-changed tonight? I usually answer just after 12 midnight EST .

Yeah, I know he was 73. but i heard some false information regarding his age at the time that was posted. By the way, this thread has no need to be on topic. in fact, it doesn't have any right to be topped. The fact that civtrivia continues to pass as news pisses off far more people than just me. Screw this thread, and screw trivia as news

[jerkwaterbox]

that's right!

when i come to apolyton, i don't want to see civtrivia questions on the first page.

who cares about civtrivia anyways? they ask stupid questions like 'which civilization learned to wipe there asses with toilet paper instead of leaves first?' who the hell cares?!

[Kaak]

I WANT TO KNOW WHO USED MY NAME....BASTARD

[Stromprophet]

or the fact that he is in last

[Asmodean]

Somewhat easy question today. Just think of who later occupied that area, and....voila, that's it.

Good luck to the rest of you.
