Huron it is.

Just because I found it funny, the largest lake on an island in a lake on an island is Crater Lake on Vulcano Island in Lake Taal on the island of Luzon, The Philippines.

Hamlet got two of the three, so over to him if he's still around.

I just took a quiz that was fun, although I was only mediocre. It is a quiz on science with 50 general knowledge science questions. I got 38 out of 50. I started out pretty good, but then went down hill.

If anyone else wants to take it, it is here.

Thanks, that was fun. I only managed 33, though, but my science education was so long ago I'm just pleased I got any .

PS - system won't let me give you any K. Catch you later.

47/50. I really didn't know the cloud one. The DNA/RNA I guessed wrong out of two. And it's been too long since I did applied maths - I couldn't remember the symbol for the coefficient of friction.

I thought that this looked familiar.

Still waiting on a quiz question from Issybird or Daithi? Daithi?!

So his is a quick filler*:


A. What is the longest English word that can be typed using only the top row (letters) of a keyboard only?

B. What is the shortest five syllable word in the English language?


C. What country leads the world in eggplant production?

*Source of information not guaranteed to be correct.

For (B), the shortest I can think of is 'apolitical'. I'm sure there must be shorter.

China is correct.

You may be right about to the answer to B, even though it is hardly and obscure word and finds frequent use in coverage of world political events.

Edit, no not apolitical, but obviously you are thinking in the correct field.

Going out for the evening so to provide the answer, the word I was looking for was ideology.
