  • Does it mean you are intelligent if you know a lot of things? If you are a trivia boffin and know a lot of general knowledge, you are certainly smart. Intelligence is how you apply the things you know. If you love learning different and interesting facts about things, you can consider yourself clever and knowledgeable.
    This is episode 91 of the Ultimate Trivia Quiz, the best challenge to keep your brain healthy and your memory sharp. It is certainly my opinion that if you can correctly answer at least 20 questions correctly, you are smarter than most people and have exceptional intellectual power - a genius!

    I must challenge #27. Claustrophobia is just as much a "fear of being confined in a space where escape is difficult" as is Agoraphobia, which is generally considered a fear of crowds, deriving from the Greek word for marketplace, "agora". Your editing of the definition created an incomplete, and therefore, false definition.

    • @detormentis
      @detormentis  Před 7 měsíci +18

      From the NHS definition:
      Agoraphobia is a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or that help wouldn't be available if things go wrong. Many people assume agoraphobia is simply a fear of open spaces, but it's actually a more complex condition. Someone with agoraphobia may be scared of: travelling on public transport.

      I agree ! Clostro phobia = Kleistofovia in Greek = fear (phobia) of closed ( kleisto) spaces. Agora phobia= fear of the "agora" ie the open space , the market place ,esp where there are many people . These words are commonly used in Greek today

      No claustrophobia is not a fear of being alone - it's a fear of being in an enclosed space with no sense of escape. Claustrophobes freak out even if they are with people as they feel the 'walls closing in on them'. Being 'alone' has nothing to do with it.

      @@KptKrunch9481 After re-reading the question and separating the wording to myself, I concur, you are correct. Fear and difficult to escape are the words I honed in on. I suffer major claustrophobia if closed in a space not much smaller than a coat closet. I can give myself a panic attack with just the thought of being temporarily buried alive even while knowing that I'll be released within a certain but unknown period of time

    I can’t believe I got 45. I made quite a few educated guesses. Jousting for the bonus.

    I went in expecting to suck on account of my mind discarding trivia to conserve space for analysis and creativity, but still got 38-39 (answered claustrophobia), + the very easy bonus. Though at least 5 were guesses using logical reasoning and more by process of elimination. Maybe I should try out for Jeopardy after all, and see if I can "game " a decent chunk of change out of it.
