Odd news
The strangest stories of the week, from serious sources.
What this is, and what it is not
The questions are about the past week, from Friday to Thursday, filled out with things that happened this week in earlier years: 10, 25 or 50 years ago. Only news that travels: nothing in the quiz needs you to live in one particular country. Every question has a source, but a question can still be wrong now and then. The source is shown on the phone after each answer, so the room can see where it comes from.
There is also a Norwegian edition, with Norwegian news: playklapp.com/fredag.
Get it by e-mail every Friday
Every Friday at 07:00 Norwegian time we send the link to the week's free Friday quiz, in the language you choose, and one question as a taster. First you get one e-mail where you confirm the address. No advertising, and you can unsubscribe in every e-mail.
We store the address, the language and the time, and delete all of it when you unsubscribe. Read the privacy page.
What a question looks like
Read all the questions in this week's quiz. The answers are behind a click at the bottom of the page. Teaching? How to use it in class.
The first ARPANET message, the internet's ancestor, was meant to be 'login'. What got through on 29 October 1969?
Only 'l' · Only 'log' · Only 'lo' · The whole word
Answer: Only 'lo'. The computer crashed after two letters – the internet began with a modest 'lo'.
Anders Celsius proposed his temperature scale in 1742. What was different from today?
Water boiled at 0 degrees · Water froze at 32 degrees · Water boiled at 212 degrees · Water boiled at 1000 degrees
Answer: Water boiled at 0 degrees. Celsius put boiling at 0 and freezing at 100 – the scale was flipped later.
With or without a big screen
The question and the four answers are on every phone as well. A big screen helps, but the quiz does not need one.
- In the same room. A TV or projector shows the question, and everyone answers on their own phone.
- On a video call. Share the big screen in the meeting. The people in the room and the people at home join on the same code.
- In the hall. One code on the big screen, and the whole hall joins on it.
- Phones only. No screen at all: everyone reads the question on their own phone.
Free, every Friday
This week's quiz is free, and it stays free. Twenty questions every Friday, the same for everyone, no account and no card. Open it on a screen, let the room scan the code, and press start.
