10 Feb, 2016: Day 57

Question 1:
Many of the cave paintings at Lascaux show the animals with heads in profile, but with horns facing forward. This is an example of what convention of representation? Answer: twisted perspective.


Type "convention of representation" Lascaux horn forward. You will soon find out that this is an AP Art History question, which is strange because my copy of Gardner's doesn't have that information inside.

Question 2:
What NFL player (Redskins and Vikings) held onto his record as the all-time interception leader until he retired? Answer: Paul Krause.


Another NFL question. I beginning to wonder if the good people at Google are big time grid football fans, instead of cricket or association football. No matter, look up the answer using all-time interception leader NFL Redskins Vikings to come Football Hall of Fame inductee.

Question 3:
What element on the periodic table is named after the European capital where it was discovered in 1923? Answer: Hafnium.


Please see Day 10 for the explanation.
