Surely, architecture has never been an Olympic (or any other form of) sport. Did you mean archery? And Red Sky at night, shepherds' delight, not sailors'. Bonus: Stenographer. 38/50
Believe it or not, both architecture and tug-of-war were Olympic sports. As was painting, sculpture, literature and music. This was from 1912 to 1948. It was said at the time that "“In the high times of Olympia, the fine arts were combined harmoniously with the Olympic Games to create their glory. This is to become reality once again.”"
Sailor's delight. The adage is at least 2000 years old. It's recorded in Matthew 16:2-3. Sailor's needed to be aware of weather signs of impending storms while at sea. A shepherd could far more easily find shelter on land. Reading weather signs would not be such an imperative for a landlubber with such close proximity to barns and houses.
@@detormentisWell, I'd be damned. I've just checked. Apologies. But it's still shepherds to me, not sailors which expression I'd never come across until this quiz.
I'm so pleased to have just discovered your channel. I was in a car accident and have lost a lot of my memory. I can't do maths at all anymore, not even simple maths. I misspell words or mistake words, which is disheartening since I once loved reading aloud. So embarrassing for me as once I was told I was highly intelligent. Now I feel like a first grader is smarter than me. Used to love to sing but now I can even remember the words. I can't even recall what I just read. Anyway, I am hoping these quizzes will help me if I do a few or even one a day. Thank you so much for your time putting these together for us to enjoy. Although I will admit for me it's not so much enjoyable as it's frustrating but I hope it will soon be enjoyable. I've done two today. But feel like one more.

Good morning Sean! Excellent quiz today! I managed 36/50 - Fleming - Loved the topics! Bonus question Answer: The person who transcribes in court is the Stenographer. Thank-You & Have a Great Day!😊💖🌼🍃🥀🐝
Answer to the bonus question: Court Reporter or Court Stenographer. I'm disgusted with myself this morning: I only scored 44/50! Yikes! That's no way to start the day, Sean! But I thoroughly enjoyed this quiz. Thanks for letting me come aboard! 😀☺👌
@@detormentis --- Those ancient Greeks certainly gave us a nice, long list of words, including Stenographer: "stenos" (narrow) + "graphein" (to write). I suppose the "narrow" component (not exactly a prefix, is it?) implies compression, or abbreviation, of the letters in order to transcribe, or write (graphein) the word expeditiously and correctly.

Pavlov award of consistency! But mixing white with color red will make red paler! Not even yellow which makes red green when mixed with with certain proportion!
Fleming Award again. The pink category I missed the most. A court stenographer uses a specific typing machine and types the conversations of those at the hearing, the judge, the prosecution and the defendants. Since each stenographer has their own machine which types the entire hearing on paper, that same person TRANSCRIBES that version into a format which any person should be able to read.
Awesome score. I see there are 2 versions of the saying. I went on this one: www.loc.gov/everyday-mysteries/meteorology-climatology/item/is-the-old-adage-red-sky-at-night-sailors-delight-red-sky-in-morning-sailors-warning-true-or-is-it-just-an-old-wives-tale/
Not a lotus flower. That is a water lily. Lotus leaves extend well above the water and are have a matte surface. By contrast, water lily leaves sit directly on top of the water and have a waxy surface. The flowers are also very different. Lotus flowers, like their leaves, extend well above the water. They also have a hard stem and leave a seed head that is woody. The water lilly flower sits directly on top of the water, has a soft stem and rots down to nothing after the petals fall. Don't do a trivia quiz if you can't provide accurate information.
Well officially I’m only clever, nearly intelligent. 😏 Btw I was a court stenographer for just one day ages ago - they couldn’t find anyone else - luckily I could write really fast cos I didn’t know shorthand. 😀
I need to go back and listen to how the question is worded: The female seahorse deposits eggs into the male's pouch where they develope before being released.
@@chrissatterwhite8706 According to Webster "The meaning of PREGNANT is containing a developing embryo, fetus, or unborn offspring within the body" so it can be applied to the male sea-horse.

@@onemercilessming1342 There is no mention of either sailors or shepherds in Matthew 16-2-3

Sailor's delight is correct. The rest of it goes "Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning." Allegedly, a red sunrise portended bad weather.
