@cranky-E9J79q • Jul 12, 2009

michael phelps or finding nemo??
RajdeepCE

@rajdeepce-7UdrG8 • Jul 12, 2009

Cranky, it isnt the right answer. I asked the name of the fish, not the fastest swimmer in the world. Anyway for your information, many fishes can beat Michael Phelps in swimming.

I was also confused after Cranky's answer now its clear that you are asking for fish then its Sailfish its speed is nearly 75mph not sure about its speed. 😐

i told you..i am a poor at knowledge-based questions😒
gohm

@gohm-F3UUpP • Jul 12, 2009

Sailfish isn't correct as it is still a fish, plus 75 mph is a bit higher than the actual speed. The correct answer is going to be a non-fish, might be a trick answer as dolphins, whales, etc are all much slower...

The answer of godfather is right, but the speed he specified is wrong. The sailfish can swim at the speed of 70 mph ot 110 kmh.
gohm

@gohm-F3UUpP • Jul 12, 2009

lol, if that answer is right, then the grammar of the question is wrong as the question how worded states the answer is not a fish. Sailfish is of course a fish. =)

Baskin & Robbins I believe is the ice cream answer

Mount olympus in greece in my opinion[color=\"red\"]
[/color]
well buddy, though your answer is half right, I am disappointed with your general knowledge😔. The Mt. Everest is the tallest mountain on earth, so there is a no chance that any other mouotain is taller than it on the Earth. And talking about Greece, I dont know that it has any mountain which comes in top 10.
Anyway the mount Olympus is tallest mountain in the Solar System & is at planet Mars. I dont know its exact height but it is 2-3 times taller than Mt. Everest.
gohm

@gohm-F3UUpP • Jul 15, 2009

You are right. I was guessing that as the location but have no idea on the mountain name.

#-> Answer this,
1Kbps = ? bits per second
1 KB = ? bits
silverscorpion

@silverscorpion-iJKtdQ • Jul 16, 2009

Well, my guess would be

1 Kbps is 1000 bits per second and

1 KB would be 1024 bits.

Am I correct??
RajdeepCE

@rajdeepce-7UdrG8 • Jul 16, 2009

Yes, SS. You are correct.

I have a doubt??

1KB = 1024 Bytes = 1024 * 8 bits i think :??

@mech-guy-TMwuj2 • Jul 16, 2009

Hi ES,

Well you are right in posing your doubt there. But mind it, its not 1KBps it is 1Kbps. Generally it is used by Internet service providers to mention speed of connection they offer. So, seems like they try to fool a casual user by numbers as 256 Kbps, by actually offering just 256 K bits per second and we normally think it is 1000 bytes (1024 technically) per second. Just a thought, may be they have some other reason to specify it in bits rather than bytes.

Regards
cranky

@cranky-E9J79q • Jul 16, 2009

any clues?will be "pm"ed to you on request
Saandeep Sreerambatla

@saandeep-sreerambatla-hWHU1M • Jul 16, 2009

Thanks Mech 😀

Cranky really tried googling many things but no clue..

Clue please 😁
RajdeepCE

@rajdeepce-7UdrG8 • Jul 16, 2009

I think it is related to the Greek Mythology.
Little clue will be helpful for me.
cranky

@cranky-E9J79q • Jul 16, 2009

😁😁It was intended that googling won't help(mu ha ha mu ha ha😎)

Try guessing about X not Y.Only pic of Y is to connect.

More info on X: Packets of X are given to children to eat or drink by volunteers of an organisation called X cricket
One of the taglines of X is "Go and go and go with X"

now,hope it is easier to derieve😁
any more clues,please ask

@rajdeepce-7UdrG8 • Jul 17, 2009

Well cranky, I tried hard & I have not googled for it, but I didnt got this. I thinke of Atlas or Hercules earlier but after the clue, I confused more.
Anyway, nice question though.
Keep them coming!

#>> What is the name of the first bicycle? What specialities it has?
The celerifere was the earlliest bicycle precursor invented in 1790 by Frenchmen, Comte Mede de Sivrac, however, it had no steering.

The German Baron Karl Drais von Sauerbronn invented the "Laufmaschine" or "Running Machine", a type of pre-bicycle. The steerable Laufmaschine was made entirely of wood and had no pedals; a rider would push his/her feet against the ground to make the machine go forward. Sauerbronn's bicycle was first exhibited in Paris on April 6, 1818
