Hello everyone!
Now that school has started, I have free time once again! Scary thought, I know. Anyway, I'm on the Orbiter IRC for an incredible amount of hours each day, and I sat there one day thinking "Hm, we haven't had an OrbiQuiz in a while...I should prepare one!".
So here I am, the preparations for OrbiQuiz 2.0. For those of you unfamiliar with OrbiQuiz, here are the rules:
1) OrbiQuiz is played in the Orbiter IRC
2) I will ask a question, and the first one to answer gets 2 points. The 2nd person to answer gets 1 point. The reason for this is so that, if you are ninja'd, you dont completely lose out.
3) Once I run out of questions, the quiz ends
4) The person who supplied the question cannot answer.
5) If the question is not answered in a 15 second hard limit, the person who supplied that question gets a point.
6) The person with the most amount of points at the end wins bragging rights, and possibly a 2-point head-start for the next quiz.
That's it. The deadline for this quiz is 23:59 on October 31st (I made a bet with Gary). So, if everyone could please PM me (don't post them in here...questions posted in here will not be used) questions, I would be happy to organize and collect them.
I am setting the tentative time for this quiz:
WHEN:Saturday, October 22nd at 20:00 UTC.
If this conflicts with anyone, please make a post here, and I will try to adjust the time to allow the most people on at once. Please note that this date and time will adjust regularly, and I will keep an updated notice on this first post. I will also attempt to get the IRC ops to "reserve the channel", so to speak, just for the OrbiQuiz.
Acceptable question content:
-Anything pertaining to Space(Astronomy, physics, the like) or Orbiter
-Things the common person COULD know, but may not necessarily know right now
-Nothing requiring advanced mathematical knowledge
Acceptable questions: Who is the creator of Orbiter? What does Delta-V mean? Name the rocket that carried Explorer 1, the first US satellite. Name the Orbital Period of Jupiter.
Unacceptable question: If Jupiter and Earth are on opposite sides of the sun, and the sun just ejected a solar flare at 30 degrees relative to Earth, give the force, in newtons, that Jupiter exerts on the earth
Thank you,
