I just moved it over with another question
|
|
|
|
| Sorry, I didn't know we were breaking any rules. I just saw the topic and thought it sounded fun. Is it possible to move a topic to another area or do we just start over?

| You guys should probably move this type of discussion to the Game Room, where it is a more appropriate place to post Trivia, etc. Thanks!

| Actually, a new discovery this week puts the stout infantfish as the new record holder at just less than a third of an inch. It would take 500,000 to make a pound.

It is amazing what a few decades of experience does for you! =)

| Yep! That's right! You are go-o-o-o-o-d! How about this one... what was the first manmade element to be included on the periodic table and who made it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| That is correct! You win...okay, so you don't win anything, but you are really smart. Here is a riddle. What builds up castles and tears down mountains. Makes men blind and helps men to see.

| You are right about Taft. Here is another one. What president hired all of the people he beat in the primary as his cabinet?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I believe that it was William Howard Taft.
|
|
|
|
| Here's a trivia question. Out of all the presidents we have had, which one would have needed this site the most? (Hint: He had a four person bathtub installed in the White House). LOL
|
|
|
|
| Thanks! I enjoy trivia, I seem to learn more that way too!
|

|
| Thanks for the info! I am not sure what it all means, but thanks for the information. I will look into it, but basically it means that the more METs you are using (if that is the right term), the better when using the various exercise equipment.
|

Here you go: a met is short for the metabolic equivalent
The ratio of the metabolic rate of the average person while seated and resting, to the metabolic rate of a particular person while performing some task. The symbol MET comes from metabolic equivalents of task. It is commonly used in medicine to express metabolic rates measured during a treadmill test. Two definitions of the MET are met with, essentially equivalent:
1 MET is equivalent to a metabolic rate consuming 3.5 milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute.
1 MET is equivalent to a metabolic rate consuming 1 kilocalorie per kilogram of body weight per hour.
METs can be converted to kilocalories consumed per minute: kcal/min = METs × body weight in kilograms ÷ 60.

| I don't know if it is trivia, but does anyone know what a met is. It is some kind of measurement of the effort you are putting forth when you run, bike, etc. It is on all of the machines.
|
|
|
|
| It would be kinda neat to maybe have a daily trivia question on nutrition, exercise or motivation. Sometimes when you read an article, you can miss a point or forget it. Anyway, I like trivia and think it would be fun!
