Hello there, and welcome to PodQuiz 1123 Before we start, I would like to thank new Patreon patron, Tyler. Round 1 We'll start this week with an Odd One Out music round. You're going to hear four pieces of music, for which I would like you to tell me both artist and title. And for number 5, you need to identify the Odd One Out of the four.

Question 1

Please identify the odd one out. The songs that are connected are connected by something about the song itself, rather than anything else. Round 2 Round 2 is on Fonts. The idea for this round came from Emily, who dedicates it to MK. Happy birthday MK. Question 6 Although now used more generally, before desktop computers, a font referred to a particular size, weight and style of what? Question 7 Which font was infamously used for the subtitles and logo of the 2009 film Avatar? Was it Comic Sans, Impact or Papyrus? Question 8 Which font is named after the Latin name for Switzerland? Question 9 What is the name of the pictogram based font family compiled by Microsoft in 1990 using glyphs licensed from Charles Bigelow and Chris Holmes for inclusion in Windows 3.1? Question 10 The font Johnston Sans was commissioned in 1913 for use in which city's transport system and is in use for that purpose to this day? Round 3 Round 3 is on musical instruments. You're about to hear 5 short clips of an instrument being played, and I'd like you to tell me which instrument that is. Question 11

Question 12

Question 13

Question 15

The fun round this week is Science and Technology. Question 16 Which operating system kernel that powers billions of devices globally was created by Finnish software engineer Linus Torvalds in 1991? Question 17 In Computer Network Technology, what does DNS stand for? Data Network System? Directory Navigation Service? Or Domain Name System? Question 18 Which physical phenomenon causes the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the source? For example, a siren on a passing vehicle. Question 19 Which organelle found in the cells of most eukaryotes, including animals and plants, is used to generate ATP used for chemical energy? Question 20 Being roughly equivalent to one wax candle, what is the SI unit of luminous intensity? I'll be back in two minutes with the answers after My Type by Tadz.

And now, the answers.

Number one was I Feel For You by Chaka Khan.

Number two was Boom Shake The Room by DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince. I came here tonight to hear the crowd go Boom shake shake shake the room Boom shake shake shake the room Boom I said nothing I said love is a dream away Number three was Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O'Connor.
