What General forum doesn't have a General Knowledge quiz, well, now this one does.
In this thread General Knowledge questions will be asked and you, the people, must give answers. After this first question, the winner will be stated here and then will have to give a question; and so on and so forth. Please don't use the internet, cause where's the fun in that.
The author of the question has to tell people who guess whether they are correct or wrong.
Rules
1)If no-one gets the answer within 24 hours of it being posted then the person who set it must ask a new one.
2)If no new question is set within 5 hours someone else will have to set a new question.
3)If you find out the answer on the internet(i.e.Google,Wikipedia) then you can't enter.
4)If you answer a question, you will get a point, providing that you also set a question.
5)No points will be added to the setter's total if no-one answers their question (Because than you could just set a really hard question that no-one would get)
Scoreboard
Machie = 2 Points
Kawada = 12 Points
Grandprix = 3 Points

I'm guessing at 13 she won't have heard of the capital before. So I guess it's up to someone else to give the correct answer.

Well, I'd assume it has something to do with extra bases. It can't be Extra Base Hits because of the A, so it must be a pitcher stat. It'll probably be something like Extra Bases Allowed or something like that.
