Last week, we introduced you to the Granite State Challenge Team from Concord High School, which charged all the way into the round of 16 before getting toppled by Portsmouth Christian Academy.
We also presented several of the questions that were asked to both the team members and the Insider staff, though you’ll have to take our word that the Insider staff was there, because there’s certainly no evidence in the record books. We got blanked. But did you? Here are the answers to the questions we posed last week.
∎ 1. What do the letters C, D, L, M, V and X have in common?
They are all Roman numerals.
∎ 2. In musical notation, how many horizontal lines are in a staff?
Five.
∎ 3. This title character of a Dickens novel was born in a work-house.
Oliver Twist.
∎ 4. This Dutch painter is perhaps best known for his painting, “Girl with a Pearl Earring.”
Vermeer
∎ 5. What is the cube of 3r squared?
27r to the sixth power
∎ 6. The rate of ozone production in the atmosphere depends on the concentration of oxygen and the intensity of which band of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Ultraviolet.
Special thanks to coaches Helen Dugan and Chad Fleming of Concord High School for setting up the quiz for us.
