Never Ending Quiz

[bobAlike]

Real simple concept.

Someone posts a question, can be on any subject. The first person to answer correctly gets to set the next question and so on and so forth.

So you post the answer and the next question on the same post.

If someone posts the wrong answer their question is forfeited.

You can google or bing to your hearts content.

I wont be keeping score and there are no prizes.

I will get the ball rolling.

As an aside we've just bought tickets to go here in September - if anyone has missed it they've done something pretty cool with the lifts.



Floor to ceiling LED screens on the walls, showing the development of the Manhattan skyline from the POV of where you're standing.

"Guests will board one of five dedicated elevators to ascend to the 102nd floor in under 60 seconds.  Immersive, floor-to-ceiling LED technology in each cab invites Guests to experience a virtual time-lapse that recreates the development of New York City’s skyline from the 1600s to present day." is how they describe it on their website.

In practice it remains to be seen whether it looks quite so good when the lift is full of people - but the video is a good sales point
New York Times copy of it is here
Sadly they didn't use youtube so I can't make it easier by embedding it.

That's just fabulous! I'm assuming that was one of the World trade centres that briefly appeared?
