Do you like quizzes? Would you like to make up a question?

We are going to play quiz with my friends and I am collecting questions from people all around the world.

Would you like to take part? You will need to make a short video with the question (not longer than 30 seconds) and a short video with the answer (again, not longer than 30 seconds). It might be of any subject, but possible to guess. 

For example: What year did Chechoslovakia divide in two countries is a bad question, because there are no chances to answer it correctly, unless you know it for sure. But, what is the main food for the walrus is OK, because you can try to remember TV programs you have watched, make some analysis and guess, even if you do not know.

At the end, players will choose the best question. I will make the video of the round with the questions and send it to you, if you want. Also, If your question wins you will get a prize:-)

Feel free to ask any detailed information here or just send me a message. Thank you in advance!

Some questions about menu I'm studying a menu of some German restaraunt in London. 1) What's pasta pocket? The dish is called Maultaschen (Pork-Filled Pasta Pockets). For me it looks like ducklings? Is it the same? 2) What's hearty broth? Like thick broth? 3) What's fresh egg pasta? 4) This pasta is served "with a choice of garden or cold sauerkraut salad". What's the difference between these two types of sauerkraut salad?

Questions about a menu. I've downloaded a menu from one English restaraunt. Have some questions. 1) What could (V) at the right of some dishes mean? That they're presented in the current menu or it's some special symbol? 2) Is crusty bread a toast or crusty refers to its condition - not soft? 3) There is a list of extra sides that contains vegetables, green beans etc. There is also 'steamed' in this list. Does it refer to rice?

What does 'after their fashion' mean? A fragment from Animal Farm: Sometimes it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer, except, of course, for the pigs and dogs. Perhaps this was partly because there were so many pigs and so many dogs. It was no that these creatures did not work, after their fashion. There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organization of the farm. Oxford dictionary says, that: after a fashion to a certain extent but not perfectly after (or in) the fashion of in a manner similar to I guess the second meaning is used in the text but who're refererred to by they - after THEIR fashion? It could be people, because they used to behave this way before the Rebellion, but nothing is said about them in the next sentences.

What does 'stand for' mean in this context? Squealer had no difficulty in proving to the other animals that they were not in reality short of food, whatever the appearances might be. For the time being, certainly, it had been found necessary to make a readjustment of rations, but in comparison with the days of Jones, the improvement was enormous. He proved to them in detail that they had more oats, more hay, more turnips than they had had in Jones's day, that they worked shorter hours, that their drinking water was of better quality etc. The animals believed every word of it. Truth to tell, Jones and all he STOOD FOR had almost faded out of their memories. Oxforddictionary says that 'stand for' means: 1) be an abbreviation of or symbol for (BBC stands for British Broadcasting Corporation) 2) [with negative] (informal) refuse to endure or tolerate (I won’t stand for any nonsense) 3) support (a cause or principle): (we stand for animal welfare) But none of them is right for this fragment.

Make a bolt, take a flight, make off. Are they synonyms of run away? Mollie in fact was missing. For a moment there was a great alarm; it was feared that the men might have harmed her in some way, or even carried her off with them. In the end, however, she was found hiding in her stall with hear buried among the hay. She had taken to flight as soon as the gun went off. And when the others came back from looking for her, it was to find that the stable-lad, who in fact was only stunned, had already recovered and made off.

Fifteen stone. Hurled into. Dung. A piece from Animal Farm. Without halting for an instant, Snowball flung his fifteen stone against Jones’ legs. Jones was hurled into a pile of dung and his gun flew out of his hands. But the most terrifying spectacle of all was Boxer, rearing up on his hind legs and striking out with his great iron-shod hoofs like a stallion. Snowball is a pig. I don't understand what he did.
