National Emblem
The National Emblem of India is a replica of the Lion of Sarnath, near Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. The Lion Capital was erected in the third century BC by Emperor Ashoka to mark the spot where Buddha first proclaimed his gospel of peace and emancipation to the four quarters of the universe. The National Emblem is thus symbolic of contemporary Indias reaffirmation of its ancient commitment to world peace.

The four lions (one hidden from view) - symbolising power, courage and confidence - rest on a circular abacus. The abacus is girded by four smaller animals - guardians of the four directions: the lion of the north, the elephant of the east, the horse of the south and the bull of the west.The abacus rests on a lotus in full bloom, exemplifying the fountainhead of life and creative inspiration. The motto Satyameva Jayate inscribed below the emblem in Devanagari script means truth alone triumphs

Well done google :P

shanes takin his time to say im correct lol

well done lj for the essay lion is the answer

Q29.........

in computing what is a bit???????

information

A measure of computer memory?

google def is

Bit (computer), abbreviation for binary digit, the smallest unit of information in a computer. A bit is represented by the numbers 1 and 0, which correspond to the states on and off, true and false, or yes and no.

Bits are the building blocks for all information processing that goes on in digital electronics and computers. Bits actually represent the state of a transistor in the logic circuits of a computer. The number 1 (meaning on, yes, or true) is used to represent a transistor with current flowing through it€”essentially a closed switch. The number 0 (meaning off, no, or false) is used to represent a transistor with no current flowing through it€”an open switch. All computer information processing can be understood in terms of vast arrays of transistors (3.1 million transistors on the Pentium chip) switching on and off, depending on the bit value they have been assigned.

Bits are usually combined into larger units called bytes. A byte is composed of eight bits. The values that a byte can take on range between 00000000 (0 in decimal notation) and 11111111 (255 in decimal notation). This means that a byte can represent 28 (2 raised to the eighth power) or 256 possible states (0-255). Bytes are combined into groups of 1 to 8 bytes called words. The size of the words used by a computer€™s central processing unit (CPU) depends on the bit-processing ability of the CPU. A 32-bit processor, for example, can use words that are up to four bytes long (32 bits).

Computers are often classified by the number of bits they can process at one time, as well as by the number of bits used to represent addresses in their main memory (RAM). Computer graphics are described by the number of bits used to represent pixels (short for picture elements), the smallest identifiable parts of an image. In monochrome images, each pixel is made up of one bit. In 256-color and gray-scale images, each pixel is made up of one byte (eight bits). In true color images, each pixel is made up of at least 24 bits.

as above

ajs won neways :sad:

its cus my password is 2 long

I think google is the only winner tonight lol

Google is your friend.

lj your making me laugh googling the answers. well done

lincolnshire

i thought memory was measured un bytes?

damnnnnnnnnnn itttt

Skegness is a seaside town and civil parish within the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. Located along the Lincolnshire coast of the North Sea, it is 43 miles (69 km) east of the city of Lincoln, and has a total resident population of 18,910.[1] Grid reference: TF564636.

Skegness is perhaps best known as the location of the first Butlins holiday resort, built in 1936, which remains within the area to this day, and in this capacity, remains one of the more famous seaside resorts in the United Kingdom.

feedback welcome on how to improve swannys bar quiz please :)

thanks shane we all had a laugh
cant make it next week will be on holiday

I should be on earlier next week ready... forgot I had a meeting tonight

Great! :proud:

Cheers Shane for putting on a great bit of fun. Thanks to everyone else who competed as well. Thankfully I didnt have too many posting problems or it might have been very different...

Now who wants a pint?

Geoff. is there any chance you could put on a chat box thing on my thread so i can do a weekly quiz. i think it went ok but some were having trouble posting and i bet it was annoying. i could of course change the format.

next time i will research the questions instead of turning a page and typing out random questions.

Just back from work - what did I miss? :proud:

you missed AJ become the first winner of swannys bar quiz. i am planning another will announce a date shortly.
