Challenge....

How can it be said that Polar bears prey on penguins?

The two animals live on opposite poles.

(This isn't to say that a polar bear wouldn't eat a penguin if say, they both lived in a zoo and somehow or another one got into the other's exhibit.)

Back to the game:

A trapezoid has four sides.

Next question... Geography: What is the Prime Meridian?

A line of longitude..do want degrees?

Next question....What star is closest to Earth ?

Next question....What star is closest to Earth ?

The Sun

(as for previous question, yes it is a line of longitude. There is a specific degree associated with the Prime Meridian...and no, I didn't know what it was when my own kids were in 5th grade...)

 

[Knotical]

I believe the degree for the Prime Meridian is zero, being Prime and all.

Next Question: What year did WWII begin?

 

[farouk]

I believe the degree for the Prime Meridian is zero, being Prime and all.

Next Question: What year did WWII begin?

For Great Britain and France: 1939

For the US: 1941

For historians: at the 1919 Versailles Treaty...
