I'd like to welcome you all to the first event of the Olympiad, Trivia! I will post a question, and the first member to answer it correctly will get a point! I will continue to ask new questions everytime one is answered correctly. I will keep a tally and update results regularly. Please ensure to say what dorm you are from when you reply! Medals will be awarded for each individual event, and special trophies and other prizes will be awarded after all the events have taken place.

The first question is a simple descramble.
WHO OT VASE A FIEL
MIHTULI

They are both songs. And you must also name the artists.

Maths time!
Solve this problem.

One day, a person went to horse racing area, Instead of counting the number of human and horses, he instead counted 74 heads and 196 legs. Yet he knew the number of humans and horses there. How did he do it, and how many humans and horses are there?

there was 24 horses and 50 people.

24 horses - 24 heads and 96 legs
50 people - 50 heads and 100 legs
total - 74 heads and 196 legs

You did ask what it was, not when.

Becky, that's what's been happening to me lately!

Wow! I misread my own comment. In that case Oranges was the only one that told me the name so Oranges gets a point for her dorm.

And ballet_ek gets a point for the vegemite question.

Arabesque: 3
Fouette:1
Attitude:2

Which song has the lyrics
"Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops i remember
There was snow
White snow "?

^yes you are correct. But what dorm are you from?

NEW question:
What is he only word in the English language that begins and ends with und?

I think that my question should be taken as wrong,because today I made a student's card for a dorm.

^Dorm is the dorm that you belong in. E.g. there are 3 active dorms at the moment, Fouette, Attitude and Arabesque. Please join one and then you can participate in all the VIS and that dorm's events.
