Since this is the Table quiz forum, how about a thread where you ask a table quiz style question, and whoever gets it gets to ask another. Just like all those specific ones, except about anything. I'll Start. What is the capital of Denmark?

Nope.....
Its the colours that are in question here, not necessarily the number of rings/colours

Also, I thought that Calcium was the lightest naturally occuring metal? (*remembers QI from months ago.... by the way, that show had dashed sooo many 'facts' that I have held true for years! lol)

Rings represent continents and the colours represent the colours present in the flags of each country or something...

This was correct at the time when the decision was made in 1931. Is it now?

By your phrasing of the question i presume it doesn't but answer would still be valid for the question, you should google it sure...
