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)

Do you, from what questions? if you could, just to prove, because i can't add without proof (page or/and question)
P.S no points for them "do i have to set a question now questions"

No that is incorrect, you're in the right kind of ball park though (the 0-10 million ball park)

At a guess, 4 million? It's a vast country, but largely sparsely populated.

Even though there are over a billion Chinese?
Hmm I guess it could still be right, there arent millions of them. Chinas an interesting country, and a lot more diverse than some people might think.
Did you ever see the Great Wall Kawada? I'd like to.

The correct answer to the email question is..
Nobody knows what the first email ever sent was. The first email was sent by Ray Tomlinson and he says hes forgotten and doesnt actually remember and no record was kept of it. He did say it was probably something like QWERTYUIOP or similar. In typical internet fashion this has spread as
First ever email was 'QWERTYUIOP'!!!!
In conclusion this was a stupid question. :)

hmm maybe the keys were in different locations in 1971. Garin was wrong, it was a stupid question if my sources seem to differ.

And you're still wrong because there is a W at the start and not a U. Now give me my point

It was sent in 1971, so email is quite old. Okay new question.

You sure about that, because last time i looked there was a U in there between the Y and I. Now seeing as you've not actually provided the answer and i have, i'll take the point. Cheers!

I'd imagine it's something simple like saying email is now available, perhaps instructing on certain details.. such as how to send, the function of '@' etc

I wouldn't be suprised if it was either something like binary or they just used the same message that was used for the first telephone message.
