Enough practice leads to mastery. This also applies to general knowledge. In one of our daily quiz in December you can expect questions about the mafia, a mannerist pleasure palace and the state of elevated body temperature. Are you ready for 10 quiz questions?
The film “Scarface” (1932) by Howard Hawks is a classic, but the 1983 version with Al Pacino in the leading role is better known. In this daily quiz in December we ask you who served as the real-life role model for the part of mobster Tony “Scarface” Camonte. He was a big shot in Chicago and built up a myth that led to many books, films and series.
There are many other quiz questions in the daily quizzes
The saying “The end justifies the means” could have come from the Mafioso, but it was the principle of an Italian philosopher of state who lived in the 16th century. His main work is “The Prince” (1513). In it, the politician argues that a prince who wants to be successful must sometimes act unscrupulously in order to consolidate and maintain his power and authority. Morality is left out of the equation.
Let’s stick with the quotes: “The axe in the house saves the carpenter” comes from the poet Friedrich Schiller. In some cases, it makes more sense to take matters into your own hands instead of waiting for an expert. We want to know in which of his dramas a father gives his son this piece of wisdom.
We present three more quiz questions so that you can see how easy or difficult our daily quiz in December might be for you: What is the German name for the lake that is called Balaton in Hungary? What is a state of elevated body temperature, i.e. fever, also called? Where is the Mannerist Hellbrunn Palace with its trick fountains located?
If you can’t get enough of quizzes, then take a look at the quiz archive. There you can set the level of difficulty or search for a specific topic. Have fun browsing!
Keep practicing your general knowledge and it will thank you! You have another chance to practice in our daily quizzes in December!
