New Quizmaster, New Questions: Who Inspired “Requiem for Selina”?

Aftenposten’s new quizmaster presents 14 questions across television, journalism, languages, history, science, film and literature.

The quiz opens by asking which real person inspired the television series “Requiem for Selina.” It then asks for the name of a newspaper article in which the editorial team argues for a position, the meaning of “lago” in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, and the news that prompted author Doris Lessing to say, “Oh, Christ,” to a television reporter in 2013.

The remaining questions range from the countries that fought Iran in last year’s twelve-day war and the distance represented by roughly 9,461 billion kilometers, to the film in which Leonardo DiCaprio plays con artist Frank Abagnale Jr. Other subjects include the tool used to measure length, depth and diameters, the jellyfish’s disk-shaped main body, the iron material used in the Eiffel Tower, and the symbol that can mean a Greek letter, an elementary particle and a software trial version.

The quiz ends with questions about the poison hazard symbol, the membrane separating the outer ear canal from the middle ear, and the Margaret Mitchell novel about the spoiled Scarlett O’Hara.
