Re: The Teensies' General Knowledge Quiz – Season Five (Pirez)
I will valide only three of Ray's factoids because Julian Edelman suspension for PEDs was long served come the Superbowl (the fact that the NFL only gives 4 games suspension for those is another issue)
So, Ray, you're on the clock. If nobody can match your 3 (Jonster is at one, everybody else is at zero) come tomorrow 20:05 French time, you get the point
EDIT : Well then, time's up!!

Question 16 : Name six gods that appear in the Illiad

Most of those aren't gods. I guess you misread the question.

Apollo, Hera, Aphrodite, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon?
Re: The Teensies' General Knowledge Quiz – Season Five (Pirez)
One of those doesn't appear in the Illiad.

Re: The Teensies' General Knowledge Quiz – Season Five (Pirez)
This is the sort of thing I "should" know, but clearly don't. But since this quiz has lasted 20.5 weeks and counting, I'll hazard…
Apollo, Hera, Aphrodite, Zeus, Athena and Poseidon?

Nice try, but this is a non-verbal sentence.

It's a set with certain operators that meet certain properties but it's been so long since I studied this I'll definitely get some of them wrong.

Re: The Teensies' General Knowledge Quiz – Season Five (Pirez)
I started out on a response last night, but then came to the same conclusion as Humch, despite the fact that I was able to rattle them off, not one year ago. Now that my bed isn't calling me I'll have another stab at it…
A set, V, defined over a field, K, of scalars, is a vector space if it is endowed with the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication such that, for A, B, C in V and a, b, 1 in K, we have:
A set, V, defined over a field, K, of scalars, is a vector space if it is endowed with the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication such that, for A, B, C in V and a, b, 1 in K, we have:
- A + B = B + A
- (A + B) + C = A + (B + C)
- There exists a zero vector 0 in V such that A + 0 = A
- A vector A has an additive inverse –A so that A – A = 0
- 1A = A
- a(A + B) = aA + aB
- (a + b)A = aA + bA
- (ab)A = a(bA)

Re: The Teensies' General Knowledge Quiz – Season Five (Pirez)
On top of that, I would also add that the vector addition and the scalar multiplication are invariant in V: for all A, B in V and a in K, then A + B is in V, as well as aA.

Re: The Teensies' General Knowledge Quiz – Season Five (Pirez)
Ah yes, the closures. I guess I just couldn't be bothered mentioning them.
Still, I wonder how this question squares with this conversation…
