Questions.

Okay, a new 'game' for you, hopefully to try and increase the intellectual posts on this forum?

Simple rules. Poster asks a sensible question, which the others must answer. Question can be of any form, as long as it is answerable (an unanswerable question is for example, "What colour socks am I wearing?").

Person who answers the question gets to post the next question. If a question is unanswered then questioner gets to ask another.

As an example, off the top of my head, I may ask; "What are the causes of Priori Incantatem, and it's effects?"

Upon which Bakster () would probably answer.

In fact, use that question to start.

I also think that the question you ask must be in some way linked to the question before it.

Impossible. 

I think a better game is to answer the previous question in the form of another question.

[haferhole1]

i like it, but what do u think about it, next poster?

[Dodger]

How about someone answers the question? 

[haferhole1]

why should we?

[flamingdragon]

that question looks hard. 

[Dodger]

Bakster will know the answer.

You got that off the top of your head?

Correct, if it is what I think it is.

From Harry Potter: Priori Incantatem is when two equal wands cast a spell on one another, then a weird thing links the wands together and causes dead people to appear in the clouds like in The Lion King (is that the right film?).

Well upon research it's not an exact definition but close enough.

What are the three unforgivable curses and what does each one do?

[Dodger]

Well done. That is good enough. And it was off the top of my head!...Well, I was thinking about how much you like Harry Potter. Needed a test .

The three unforgivable curses are:

The Cruciatus Curse (Crucio)
- Causes unbearable pain to the person the curse is directed at.

The Imperious Curse
- Gives the caster direct control, in any way, of the victim.

Advada Kedavra
- The killing curse, kills the victim, leaving no marks (with one exception ).

This is from memory, so spelling may be incorrect.

A harder question now

Can you tell me:
"What is the incantation used to produce Birds from the tip of ones wand?"

[The_Crusade]

It starts with 'Av'. Coincidentally I was reading briefly through the list of Harry Potter spells after my Prior Incantatem research.

Alas, I can't remember it. Research time:

Avis...my first instinct, but it didn't seem like a "Harry Potter spell" kinda word.

What is the smelliest bird and what does its smell resemble?

[Dodger]

The south American hoatzin?

Smells like cow shit.

Rwnt.

How many teeth does the average cow have?

[The_Crusade]

"Rwnt"? Oh god not another damn spelling mistake that will take over the E-world.

What is the square root of -1 and why does it differ from all the numbers we know?

[haferhole1]

when are the new episodes of Futurama going to start airing on comedy central?

The extra detail is incorrect. For example, the square root of -4 is 2i.
