Questions “What? Where? When?" first began to ask back in 1975, but in fact, few people know or remember that in fact then the game had a different appearance and played by completely different people. That is why it is worth highlighting a few of the most interesting facts about this program, as well as to talk about what questions are the most interesting among many others.
History and interesting facts
Basically, the questions “What? Where? When? ”, Like the show itself, practically do not change throughout the existence of this program, but in fact, in the first release, experts were absent altogether. The program was originally attended simple families, and at the same time they answered not in architectural mansions, but in standard apartments that belonged to them. Each family answered 11 questions, after which it was decided to combine both footage in one program. The show's current format has only been followed since 1977, but it has remained that way to this day.
For a long time, viewers were completely unaware of who was leading this program, as a result of which for several years Vladimir Voroshilov was called the nickname "Incognito from Ostankino". Only in 1980 was the identity of the host of the program publicly announced, and this was done by inserting the phrase after the end of the broadcast: “Vladimir Voroshilov was the host of the program.”
Questions “What? Where? When?" are given to connoisseurs in the Hunting Lodge, located in the Neskuchny Garden, while it is worth noting that this building is an architectural monument built back in the 18th century. All games of this club have been held here since 1990.
An owl named Fomka was chosen as a symbol, and in 1977 it was shown on one of the broadcasts. The so-called "Crystal Owl" is awarded only after 1984, and in 2002 it was decided to also add a diamond to it, giving it to the best player based on the results of the past year. The diamond owl is handcrafted from crystal and silver by professional jewelers, and it is worth noting that this prize is adorned with more than 70 rubies. The weight of an owl is more than 8 kg.
Among other things, it is worth noting the fact that initially the base of questions “What? Where? When?" compiled directly by Vladimir Voroshilov himself, as well as by a team of professional editors. Over time, it was decided that it would be possible to use letters from viewers coming to the editor, because the answers to questions sometimes turned out to be the most unexpected.
Probably every person who at least once watched the questions “What? Where? When?, knows what a top is inside a spinning circle. This spinning top is launched before each round and is a slightly improved children's toy manufactured by the Krasny Proletarian factory in Moscow. Vladimir Voroshilov himself said that one day he was going to buy a gift for a child of three years old at the Toy House and noticed this top. But later he could not resist, so he decided to buy two toys at once, one of which he kept for himself and then played with it for ten days.
People's actions
Once a shah in Persia wanted to know what determines a person's behavior and guides his actions in this life. Initially, the Shah's assistants compiled enough large volume, but then they were able to cut it down to one page. In the end, they managed to find only one single word.
Accordingly, connoisseurs of “What? Where? When?" questions were asked about this word. Experts decided that it was love, but in fact the correct answer was that the actions and behavior of a person are guided by the desire for survival.
Best Sellers Perspective
A group of sociologists from America came up with an equation by which they were able to calculate the rate of increase in the number of purchased copies of various bestsellers. In other words, if the number of books bought during the first week was known, then in this case it will be possible to understand later how many of them, for example, will be bought during the month. However, as it turned out, such an equation has been used for a long time, but in a different area of human activity.
Base of questions “What? Where? When?" involves the question: what exactly was calculated by exactly the same equation as the distribution of best-selling books?
Experts said that in accordance with this equation, the growth of epidemics is determined, and they did not fail - this is true.
looseness
Under the title "Weakley World News" conducted a survey in the five most major cities of their country in order to determine who would agree to go to work naked for $1 million. Among men, 84% agreed total of the people interviewed, while only 20% of the women interviewed agreed, making them appear more bashful. It is likely that the explanation is contained in the response from one of the participants in the survey, who would agree to expose herself if she was warned several weeks in advance.
In what? Where? When?" They decided to send the following question: why did the woman need these few weeks? The answer is quite simple: in order to lose weight.
Acapulco
Almost all over the world they know what the Mexican resort of Acapulco is. The popularity of this resort is primarily due to the local climate, which is ideal for relaxation. If you guess what exactly the word "Acapulco" means from the Aztec language, can you name the famous traveler who also visited the city of the same name?
Despite the fact that the questions for the game “What? Where? When?" rather tricky ones were sent, experts were able to answer that Dunno was this traveler.
Tech Growth
The device appeared in the United States in the twentieth century in the 20s, and for the first time it was produced by a company that had previously been engaged exclusively in manufacturing. This device quickly became widespread among a large number population, and already in the 30s and 40s, devices began to become popular, in which there was the possibility of adjusting the speed and degree of heating. Why did the demand for such equipment grow so much in the 1960s?
Very often this question is included in the collections of tasks “What? Where? When?". Questions and answers for students are especially interesting, since such tasks are often found in such games held between institutions. The answer is that in the 60s of the last century, men began to wear long hair, as a result of which among them hair dryers are also quite widespread.
Psychology
An English scientist and part-time psychologist named David Lewis said that it is safe only for women, while in men it can cause a source of quite serious illnesses. In the course of the studies, it was determined that only a quarter of all women had some non-serious abnormalities like an increased heartbeat, while men reacted extremely negatively to this: their pulse increased greatly, arrhythmia appeared, and blood pressure increased significantly. pressure. The answer is English word, which relatively recently became common in Russian.
Many peep into all sorts of collections of tasks “What? Where? When?" questions and answers, although in fact the answer is extremely simple - it's shopping.
similarity
It's strange enough, but these two have a lot in common. Both have Italian roots, and even their patronymics would be the same if they were at all. At the same time, their relations with Russia developed in different ways, since the first visit to this country suffered a lot of trouble, although at first he conducted his business quite successfully, while the second not only became incredibly popular, but, in principle, it was here that he appeared into the world. Who is this?
Quite often you can find in collections such questions as “What? Where? When?" for schoolchildren, since the answer is quite interesting - this is Pinocchio and Napoleon.
Similarity #2
Each of them has inhuman abilities, while the first one is quite friendly to everyone around him, although one woman was seriously injured by him. At the same time, the second is very unfriendly, but a certain woman ultimately escaped the threat from him, while both made exactly the same promises. Who is this?
Again, very, very interest Ask young generation provided us with the game “What? Where? When?". Questions and answers of this type require heightened attention. The correct answer is "Terminator and Carlson", and they promised one thing - to return.
hazardous substance
This substance is the main component of acid rain. If it is in gaseous form, there is a risk of severe burns to a person, and if this substance enters the stomach, excessive sweating may begin, as well as vomiting if a large dose is taken. If a person accidentally inhales a substance, then in this case there is a risk of death at all. What is this substance?
In what? Where? When?" the question about this substance is one of the most interesting, since this tricky problem has a very entertaining answer - water.
Chess
A well-known chess player said that if these two ever crossed for one, then in the end the game would simply end in a draw. Who was he talking about?
Those people who know the biography of Bobby Fischer and roughly understand his behavior are likely to guess this answer, because he was talking about a situation when he bothered to meet God himself at the chessboard. Many look at the answer in the collections of problems “What? Where? When?" questions and correct answers.
Cars
To date, only 7% of the total number of cars sold in America in 2010 are equipped with this device, and the press often says that this is an extremely effective anti-theft protection that was originally developed for completely different purposes. What it is? Answer: manual transmission.
strange dog
Once, in the practice of the famous English veterinarian Gillian Maxwell, he happened to be faced with a situation where a Labrador brought to him behaved very depressively and practically lost his appetite. However, after the tests, it was found that the dog is quite healthy, and with each subsequent visit, the tests were getting better and better. After a conversation with the owners, it turned out that at the same time, all family members, shortly before the disease, the dogs took joint decision and adhere to it to this day. What did they decide?
This question can be added to the most appropriate questions on “What? Where? When?" with answers for students. The answer is quite interesting - all family members decided to quit smoking, as a result of which the dog experienced a withdrawal syndrome.
Hostages
After seizing a certain embassy in London, after lengthy negotiations, the terrorists decided to release two hostages, while the captives themselves chose who they needed to release. Initially, a pregnant woman was chosen, after which the hostages, who had lived together for several days, decided to release the man as well. Experts needed to determine for what reason this man was released with her.
The decision is quite interesting and memorable, because they decided to let this man go because he snored too much.
Patriotism
One of the episodes of the animated series The Simpsons shows how Bart, near Chinese spies, thinks about whether he could betray his own country, because he daily swore an oath of allegiance to the flag of the United States. In response, an objection was received that it was pronounced not to the country, but to the flag, but the flag ... Connoisseurs needed to finish the thought of spies with just three words.
The question, again, is interesting enough for children, but at the same time not so easy for adults. Again, an interesting answer was received: the oath is pronounced not to the country, but to the flag, and the flag is made in China.
Peter I
What, according to one joke, did Peter I order to do when he got lost in the swamps with his army? He did not want to pretend that they were lost in such a place, so he gave the order in order to be able to hide such a shameful fact.
Finally, a rather simple and interesting question, the answer to which is the founding of St. Petersburg. Most likely a fairly simple task for people living in this city or is it good who know history of their country.
