General Knowledge
 
I don't know if this belongs in this section, but if it doesn't, please move it where it does, 'kay?

Basically, you ask a general question and the user/member below you must answer this question. This is to increase your general knowledge, if you want to. Do not post here if you do not like this thread. Okay.

An example:

Q:
What is the largest island in the world?

A:
Greenland

Some rules:

  • If you do not know the answer, don't answer.
  • If you think the member above you had a wrong answer, correct it with little proof.
  • Do not ask the same questions.
  • Try not to use online or book references for your answers, for this is general knowledge.
  • Do not spam or whatever the general rules say.
  • When you answer a question, provide another question yourself.
  • When you post a question, you MUST know the answer of it yourself.
  • If you MUST refer to online sources, provide a link plus the source, only if necessary.
  • Nothing Pokémon related!

Okay, I will start with the a question.

You need to ask a question yourself after answering. And it's true, I guess.
