It sparkles.

Not correct.

Q. "EVERY HOUR (THIS HAPPENS) AT THE EIFFEL TOWER"

You failed to answer the exact question you asked. It only sparkles at night. It does not sparkle in the day time for obvious reasons. Therefore, it does NOT sparkle EVERY hour and you answered your own question incorrectly.

According to the tower's website:
"Every evening, the Eiffel Tower is adorned with its golden covering and sparkles for 5 minutes every hour on the hour, while its beacon shines over Paris."

It sparkles during the day as well, but you do not get a spectacular a show are at night. During the day the lower 2 decks and the cap on the tower have lights that chase around the tower and the crown throbs. You can see it much better on overcast days.

Thank you. I was recently there and didn't recall seeing them "sparkling" during the day (which was the incorrect answer to the question as originally asked) & confirmed by the the Eiffel Tower's website that said that they were only lit at night.

From what I recall, the chase lights that you referred to are there, but aren't hourly in answering the question. Again, the Eiffel Tower website:

"The sparkling lights are superimposed over the golden lighting. Made up of 20,000 light bulbs (5,000 per side), they bring the monument to life for 5 minutes every hour on the hour once the Tower has been lit up until 1a.m....

This is activated upon nightfall by the sensors." Certainly, according to them, the sparkling ends at 1am.

But hey, if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. I appreciate you giving more facts.

New Brunswick is the only bilingual province in Canada.

It is possible to fire a gun in space since the bullet comes with its own oxidizer in the form of gunpowder. The bullet will also travel further and faster since it has no air resistance.

Art Fleming. And Don Pardo (sp) was the announcer.

It was on at noon. The clues were worth $10-50 for the Jeopardy round and $20-100 for Double Jeopardy.

Tempted to go with France, but these questions are never the obvious choice so going with Italy. Can't resist a good chianti

 

[GPIDEAL]

False.

I know Ontario is officially bilingual.

Quote :

The French Language Services Act (French: Loi sur les services en français) is a law in the province of Ontario, Canada which is intended to protect the rights of Franco-Ontarians, or French-speaking people, in the province.

The Act does not give the French language full official language status in the province, which has no official language defined in law but is primarily an English-speaking province in practice. The Act, however, ensures that provincial government services are offered in French in 25 designated areas across the province with significant numbers of Franco-Ontarian residents.
