2:C) One of the principles of the republican politic system, formalized by Montesquieu (based on Aristotle). It postulates that every republican state must have the State Power divided in three functions (misnamed "powers") wich are, the legislative, executive and judicial... is a way to balance the use of public power
1 C) Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto could be a planet if it wanted to.
Correct.
Quote from "Nacho_ijp" »
1:A) Milky Way
I miss Pluto
Yup.
Quote from "emilemil1" »
Lol, how can naming the planets be a C question o.O That is like the first thing you learn about astronomy. I would move B to A, C to B and A to C ^^ Although C would still be too easy since it would be a 50% chance to get it, and then a 100% chance. (unless you epic fail)
The second is also a little weird. Everyone should know what a dictatorship is :/
2B) A government ruled by a single person or a small group with complete control.
Hitler style!
Btw, did you know that a correct name for our galaxy is actually "the Galaxy". Although no one uses it ^^
You do have to know the planets. And put them into the right order. And know that Pluto isn't one of them anymore. If you never learned it gets pretty hard there.
And if it's a Yes/No question or similar I'll always make it A.
Answer is correct.
Yup, it's actually called the Galaxy, but it's generally considered to be the Milky Way. A way to correctly name it would be the Milky Way Galaxy, since there are multiple galaxies and such.

I was taught the planets and their orders in first grade :/. And I have used that knowledge in at least 15 school assignments. And you have to be really ignorant to not know that Pluto isn't a planet anymore.
I mean, is it anyone that haven't been taught this in school?
Although I did see this question on Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. The guy there looked like he had some problems :/ (but then again, the contestants there are usually not that educated)
But my point: Make C follow this:
[thingy]
1A) True
The main problem is that it's hard to make questions. Especially when you know even more advanced stuff about it yourself.
I'll try to make them more appropriate.
Correct, btw.
I want to remind everyone that you can send me question sets. Each proper set gives two points when posted here.

I don't even know what a junta is. My answer is no, nonetheless.
I had problems creating an A worthy question here, so I settled for this one. I thought more people would have heard of juntas... Simply put they're military governments. Bolivia is a country that has that sort of system.
It's getting insanely hard to think of new questions
I do have another category lined up though.
And there are more than 3 of 'em. Five to be exact.

I'm not sure what the exact definition of "retro" is, but I'd guess Mario and Zelda. I'm too young for these questions o.O
Yup, they are Retro, although Zelda is near the vague part.

WHAT!?!!? no way!! bolivia is far from having a military junta!! they have a democratic government (not perfect but democratic)
maybe you're talking about Venezuela, though they have a democratic government also, the democracy of their current situation is more questionable...
the las junta I knew about in latin america was the strike in Honduras last year, but they got over it pretty soon...
the only two countries I know about having military systems, are north Korea and cube (kind of) I'm missing the third one... in Africa maybe :confused:

Crap. I meant Burma.
That's what happens when you start to rely on your memory. Luckily your post + a Wiki search helped me find the thing I meant.

Yeah, but Zelda is not the protagonist, Link is. I'm sure we all knew who you meant so you should still get the point, but thats why your answer was a little iffy.

I know that is some king, hopefully it is Richard I.
He had so many wives because he wanted a kid. Thank God for Jane Seymour.
I'm a nerd.
they say she was ugly
Anne Boleyn FTW!!!
Yeah... how many did he end up with? Six or seven I believe.
