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
tnc = 23 Points

At the French Gp, Luigi Fagoli became the Oldest GP Winner, can you state what age he became the winner, and for a bonus point, if I am allowed, which year he became the winner??

I get to ask, nin only answered the bonus, bonuses only allow points. People who answer the question get the ask the next.
See how that works?
Besides, you might not have the authority for bonus questions :P

Rats cant.
I've seen it claimed Horses cant either, dunno if thats true as the source was dubious. It does seem unlikely to me theres only 1 animal though.
