Yep, time for FireballX301's 100k meat gp contest. Simple enough - every so often, I'll put up a batch of questions. First person to answer ALL OF THEM to my satisfaction wins the meat gp.

Remember: Partial answers != Partial reward. Posting a partial answer only benefits others, and if I see an 'edit', well, that's why edits have timestamps.

Google/Dictionaries/etc will most likely be used, but thats why I throw in tough questions.

QUESTION BATCH:

1. A few weeks/months back, an asteroid got the highest rating for 'imminent danger' on the Toreno scale ever put out. Name this asteroid.

2. What is the difference between a 'rail gun' and a 'coil gun', and which would more likely be used in a 'mass driver'?

3. Name the comedian credited with the 'In Soviet Russia' meme.

4. Define the word 'meme' properly.

5. d/dx (5sin(x)*(x^3)) = ?

6. What would this C++ function output?

int main()
{
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
cout << "Input first number" << endl;
cin >> x;
cout << "Input second number" << endl;
cin >> y;
if (x = y){
cout << "The two numbers were identical." << endl;
}
else{
cout << "The two numbers were different." << endl;
}
return 0;
}

I'll check back in a week.

Quake and half life.

I'm a good comdian, so Micki D.

You*2

0 ?

6. What would this C++ function output?

int main()
{
  int x = 0;
  int y = 0;
  cout << "Input first number" << endl;
  cin >> x;
  cout << "Input second number" << endl;
  cin >> y;
  if (x = y){
    cout << "The two numbers were identical." << endl;
  }
  else{
    cout << "The two numbers were different." << endl;
  }
  return 0;
}

Erm, you enter a number 2 times and if the number was identical it will say that and if it isnt it will say it was different...

Ok, ok, fine, ONE MIIIIILLLION GP, a diamond-encrusted lodestone, your very own pony, and rights to a fortune in Nigeria.

Sheesh. Guess free money ain't good enough no more, eh?

(5x^2)(xcosx+3sinx).

It'll say that they're identical :blink:

1. 99942 Apophis (4 on scale)
2. A railgun uses 2 rails to accelerate an object while a coilgun uses a series of coils to accelerate an object. A coilgun would be used in a mass driver, since it is essentialy a miniature mass driver.
3. Yakov Smirnoff created the "In Soviet Russia..." meme.
4. A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.
5. 5*x^2*(x*cos(x)+sin(x))
6. It would output "The two numbers were identical." because of the single = in the if statement.

No comment on whether people have gotten pieces right. Just know that nobody's won it yet.

Its just that your questions.. are kind of hard. Have you gotten your I.Q. checked Fire? I wouldn't doubt if its considerably high.
