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 ppl, 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 whetehr 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)

Machie = 2 Points

Red XII (RedXIII was really named after his father despite what the game says).

I have a mental block on easy questions. Seeing as i cant find it out i'm tempted to ask how much it'd cost me to play FF XI but that doesn't really come under "Quiz" questions.
What was the name of Red XIII's father?
If you've never played Final Fantasy VII it's your own fault, screw you! :D

There are two words in the English language (not counting their derivatives) that have one of each of the 5 vowels in alphabetical order -- name one of them.

I had to look it up to see whether it was Kurt Russell or Jeff Bridges -- it was the latter.
I looked it up after posting the answers, tho'

right if we can have a new question from someone, as not many people seem interested in this question. Additionally, it has been more than 24 hours since the question was set (Rules).

A constructive trust is where someone holds an asset of another person. However it comes about due to certain events.
For example if I took an asset of yours, then changed it for something else. I will obtain the legal rights to the swapped item on behalf of you.
Stupid complexities of law...

too wise you are, too wise you be, i see you are too wise for me.
ha! im so geeky :')
now, for my question, i revert back to the constructive trust question, and seeing as i answered 2 questions, if no one gets it should get double the points. if someone does they get double, then it returns to a 1 question at a time thing.
