Question: How many people can the theatre at the Eiffel Tower seat?

When built, the first level contained three restaurants (one French, one Russian and one Flemish) and an "Anglo-American Bar".
After the exposition closed the Flemish restaurant was converted to a 250 seat theatre.
A promenade ran around the outside.
On the third level there were laboratories for various experiments and a small apartment reserved for Gustave Eiffel to entertain guests.
This is now open to the public, complete with period decorations and lifelike models of Gustave and some guests.

Article: Pudding
Section: Terminology

Question: What is dessert called in the United Kingdom?

In the United Kingdom and most Commonwealth countries, "pudding" can be used to describe both sweet and savory dishes.
However, unless qualified, the term in everyday usage typically denotes a dessert; in the UK, "pudding" is used as synonym for a dessert course.
Dessert puddings are rich, fairly homogeneous starch- or dairy-based desserts such as rice pudding, steamed cake mixtures such as Treacle sponge pudding with or without the addition of ingredients such as dried fruits such as Christmas pudding.
Savory dishes include things such as Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, suet pudding and steak and kidney pudding.
In the United States and Canada, "pudding" characteristically denotes a sweet milk-based dessert similar in consistency to egg-based custards, instant custards or a mousse, often commercially set using gelatin or similar collagen agent such as the Jello brand line of products.
In Commonwealth countries these puddings are called custards (often shortened to curd) if they are egg-thickened, blancmange if starch-thickened, and jelly if gelatin based.
Pudding may also refer to other dishes such as bread and rice pudding, although typically these names derive from the origin as British dishes.
Article: Pablo Picasso
Section: Cubism

Question: "Synthetic cubism" is defined as?

Analytic cubism (1909–1912) is a style of painting Picasso developed with Georges Braque using monochrome brownish and neutral colours.
Both artists took apart objects and "analyzed" them in terms of their shapes.
Picasso and Braque's paintings at this time share many similarities.
Synthetic cubism (1912–1919) was a further development of the genre, in which cut paper fragments – often wallpaper or portions of newspaper pages – were pasted into compositions, marking the first use of collage in fine art.
In Paris, Picasso entertained a distinguished coterie of friends in the Montmartre and Montparnasse quarters, including André Breton, poet Guillaume Apollinaire, writer Alfred Jarry, and Gertrude Stein.
Apollinaire was arrested on suspicion of stealing the "Mona Lisa" from the Louvre in 1911.
Apollinaire pointed to his friend Picasso, who was also brought in for questioning, but both were later exonerated.
Article: Norway
Section: Architecture

Question: What style did the city have a church built in?

With expansive forests, Norway has had a tradition of building in wood.
Many of today's most interesting new buildings are made of wood, reflecting the strong appeal that this material continues to hold for Norwegian designers and builders.
With Norway's conversion to Christianity some 1,000 years ago, churches were constructed.
Stonework architecture was introduced from Europe for the most important structures, beginning with the construction of Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.
In the early Middle Ages, wooden stave churches were constructed throughout Norway.
Many of them have survived and represent Norway's most unique contribution to architectural history.
A fine example is Urnes Stave Church, which is now on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Another notable example of wooden architecture are buildings at the Bryggen Wharf in Bergen, consisting of a row of narrow wooden structures along the quayside.
In the 17th century, under the Danish monarchy, cities and villages such as Kongsberg and Røros were established.
The city had a church built in the Baroque style.
Traditional wooden buildings were constructed in Røros which have survived changes since then.
After Norway's union with Denmark was dissolved in 1814, Oslo became the capital.
The architect Christian H. Grosch designed the earliest parts of the University of Oslo, the Oslo Stock Exchange, and many other buildings and churches constructed in that early national period.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Ålesund was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style, influenced by styles of France.
The 1930s, when functionalism dominated, became a strong period for Norwegian architecture.
It is only since the late 20th century that Norwegian architects have achieved international renown.
One of the most striking modern buildings in Norway is the Sami Parliament in Kárášjohka, designed by Stein Halvorson and Christian Sundby.
Its debating chamber is an abstract timber version of a "lavvo," the traditional tent used by the nomadic Sami people.
Article: Times Square
Section: Abstract

Question: In what neighborhood is Times Square located and between which streets does it stretch?

Times Square is a major commercial intersection and a neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, at the junction of Broadway (now converted into a pedestrian plaza) and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets.
Times Square – iconified as "The Crossroads of the World", "The Center of the Universe", and the "The Great White Way" – is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.
According to "Travel + Leisure" magazine's October 2011 survey, Times Square is the world's most visited tourist attraction, hosting over 39 million visitors annually.
Approximately 330,000 people pass through Times Square daily, many of whom are either tourists or people working in the area.
Formerly Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in April 1904 after "The New York Times" moved its headquarters to the newly erected Times Building – now called One Times Square – site of the annual ball drop on New Year's Eve, a tradition which began on December 31, 1907 and continues today, attracting thousands to the Square every New Year's.
The northern triangle of Times Square is technically Duffy Square, dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's "Fighting 69th" Infantry Regiment; a memorial to Duffy is located there, along with a statue of George M. Cohan, and the TKTS discount theater tickets booth.
The stepped red roof of the TKTS booth also provides seating for various events.
The Duffy Statue and the square were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
Article: Wakeboarding
Section: Riding

Question: What are the tricks?

Using edging techniques, the rider can move outside of the wake or cut rapidly in toward the wake.
Jumps are performed by riding towards and up the wake and launching into the air.
This can also be done by riding up a kicker (a jump).
There is also the slider (a rail bar) in which a rider approaches and rides along keeping his balance.
Once a rider improves in the sport, he or she can progress to tricks high in the air.
As the rider edges towards the wake against the pull of the rope, the rider builds pressure against the water on the bottom of the board and gains speed and momentum toward the wake.
When the rider rides up the wake, the energy of the wake launches him airborne.
While in the air, the rider attempts to do tricks.
Tricks vary from beginner to advanced.

Section: World War I

Question: Who led the rise of the Bolshevik Party?

World War I.
The First World War (1914–1918) was fought across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Countries beyond the war zones were also affected by the disruption of international trade, finance and diplomatic pressures from the belligerents.
In 1917, two revolutions occurred within the Russian Empire, which led to the collapse of the Imperial Government and the rise of the Bolshevik Party led by Vladimir Lenin.
Article: Physics
Section: Astrophysics

Question: The Big Bang model relies on general relativity and what?

Astrophysics and astronomy are the application of the theories and methods of physics to the study of stellar structure, stellar evolution, the origin of the solar system, and related problems of cosmology.
Because astrophysics is a broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics, including mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular physics.
The discovery by Karl Jansky in 1931 that radio signals were emitted by celestial bodies initiated the science of radio astronomy.
Most recently, the frontiers of astronomy have been expanded by space exploration.
Perturbations and interference from the earth's atmosphere make space-based observations necessary for infrared, ultraviolet, gamma-ray, and X-ray astronomy.
Physical cosmology is the study of the formation and evolution of the universe on its largest scales.
Albert Einstein's theory of relativity plays a central role in all modern cosmological theories.
In the early 20th century, Hubble's discovery that the universe is expanding, as shown by the Hubble diagram, prompted rival explanations known as the steady state universe and the Big Bang.
The Big Bang was confirmed by the success of Big Bang nucleosynthesis and the discovery of the cosmic microwave background in 1964.
The Big Bang model rests on two theoretical pillars: Albert Einstein's general relativity and the cosmological principle.
Cosmologists have recently established the ΛCDM model of the evolution of the universe, which includes cosmic inflation, dark energy, and dark matter.
Numerous possibilities and discoveries are anticipated to emerge from new data from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope over the upcoming decade and vastly revise or clarify existing models of the universe.
In particular, the potential for a tremendous discovery surrounding dark matter is possible over the next several years.
Fermi will search for evidence that dark matter is composed of weakly interacting massive particles, complementing similar experiments with the Large Hadron Collider and other underground detectors.IBEX is already yielding new astrophysical discoveries: "No one knows what is creating the ENA (energetic neutral atoms) ribbon" along the termination shock of the solar wind, "but everyone agrees that it means the textbook picture of the heliosphere — in which the solar system's enveloping pocket filled with the solar wind's charged particles is plowing through the onrushing 'galactic wind' of the interstellar medium in the shape of a comet — is wrong."
Article: Australia
Section: Abstract

Question: What does Australia rank, compared to other countries, when it comes to total area?

Australia , officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands.
It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area.
Neighbouring countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea to the north; the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For at least 40,000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians,who spoke languages grouped into roughly 250 language groups.
After the discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788.
The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing Crown Colonies were established.
On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia.
Since Federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy.
The federation comprises six states and several territories.
The population of 23.1 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated in the eastern states.
Australia is a developed country and one of the wealthiest in the world, with the world's 12th-largest economy.
In 2012 Australia had the world's fifth-highest per capita income, Australia's military expenditure is the world's 13th-largest.
With the second-highest human development index globally, Australia ranks highly in many international comparisons of national performance, such as quality of life, health, education, economic freedom, and the protection of civil liberties and political rights.
Australia is a member of the United Nations, G20, Commonwealth of Nations, ANZUS, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), World Trade Organization, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, and the Pacific Islands Forum.
Article: Kung Fu Panda
Section: Critical response

Question: How many stars did Kung Fu Panda get in Peter Howell's review?

Critical response.
"Kung Fu Panda" has received positive reviews from critics.
Rotten Tomatoes reported that 88% of 164 critics gave the film a positive review.
The film has an approval rating of 76% from a select group of critics and an approval rating of 83% from users of the site.
Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 73 out of 100, based on 33 reviews.
Richard Corliss of "Time Magazine" gave "Kung Fu Panda" a positive review, stating the picture "provides a master course in cunning visual art and ultra-satisfying entertainment".
"The New York Times" said, "At once fuzzy-wuzzy and industrial strength, the tacky-sounding "Kung Fu Panda" is high concept with a heart," and the review called the film "consistently diverting" and "visually arresting".
Chris Barsanti of "Filmcritic.com" commented, "Blazing across the screen with eye-popping, sublime artwork, "Kung Fu Panda" sets itself apart from the modern domestic animation trend with its sheer beauty [...] the film enters instant classic status as some of the most gorgeous animation Hollywood has produced since the golden age of Disney."
Michael Phillips of the "Chicago Tribune" called the film "one of the few comedies of 2008 in any style or genre that knows what it’s doing".
However, Tom Charity of CNN criticized the action for " to blur into a whirlwind of slapstick chaos" and considered the character of Po similar to others played by Black.
Peter Howell of "The Toronto Star" awarded the film two and a half stars, considering it to have a "lack of story" that "frequently manages to amuse, if not entirely to delight".
Article: Table tennis
Section: Corkspin

Question: How is a cork spun ball countered?

This type of spin is almost exclusively employed in service, but it is also used from time to time in the lob at the professional level.
Unlike any of the aforementioned techniques, corkspin (sometimes referred to as "drill-spin") features a unique situation in which the axis of spin is more or less parallel to the trajectory of the ball.
This means that the Magnus effect will have little to no effect on the trajectory of a cork-spun ball.
Upon bouncing, the ball will dart right or left, depending on the direction of the spin, making it very difficult to return.
Although in theory this type of spin produces the most obnoxious effects, it is not as strategically practical as sidespin or backspin in terms of the limitations that it imposes upon the opponent during their return.
Aside from the initial direction change when bouncing, provided that it does not exceed the reach of the opponent, a cork-spun ball is easily countered with topspin "or" backspin.
Similar to a backspin stroke, the corkspin stroke has a lower maximum velocity, simply due to the contact angle of the racket when producing the stroke.
To impart a spin on the ball which is parallel to its trajectory, the racket must be swung more or less perpendicular to the trajectory of the ball.
This greatly limits the amount of forward momentum that can be transferred to the ball by the racket.
Corkspin is almost always mixed with another variety of spin, as it is less effective and harder to produce on its own.
Article: Udon
Section: Abstract

Question: Is it regional for the taste of Udon?

Udon is often served hot as a noodle soup in its simplest form, as "kake udon", in a mildly flavoured broth called "kakejiru," which is made of dashi, soy sauce (shōyu), and mirin.
It is usually topped with thinly chopped scallions.
Other common toppings include tempura, often prawn or "kakiage" (a type of mixed tempura fritter), or "aburaage", a type of deep-fried tofu pockets seasoned with sugar, mirin, and soy sauce.
A thin slice of kamaboko, a halfmoon-shaped fish cake, is often added.
Shichimi can be added to taste.
The flavor of broth and topping vary from region to region.
Usually, dark brown broth, made from dark soy sauce ("koikuchi shōyu"), is used in eastern Japan, and light brown broth, made from light soy sauce ("usukuchi shōyu"), is used in western Japan.
This is even noticeable in packaged instant noodles, which are often sold in two different versions for east and west.
Article: Sushi
Section: Western-style sushi

Question: In which country can one find "Futomaki" rolls?

The increasing popularity of "sushi" around the world has resulted in variations typically found in the Western world, but rarely in Japan (a notable exception to this is the use of salmon which was introduced by the Norwegians in the early 1980s).
Such creations to suit the Western palate were initially fueled by the invention of the California roll (a "norimaki" with crab (later, imitation crab), cucumber, and avocado).
A wide variety of popular rolls ("norimaki" and "uramaki") has evolved since.
Though the menu names of dishes often vary by restaurant, some examples include:Other rolls may include pretty much anything, including chopped scallops, spicy tuna, beef or chicken teriyaki roll, okra, and assorted vegetables such as cucumber and avocado.
Since rolls are usually made to-order, it is not unusual for the customer to specify the exact ingredients desired.
Sometimes, rolls are made with brown rice or black rice, which appear in Japanese cuisine as well.
An "uramaki" (inside-out roll) allows draping ingredients on the outside of the roll in addition to the inside.
Examples include the rainbow roll (an inside-out topped with thinly sliced "maguro, hamachi, ebi, sake" and avocado) and the caterpillar roll (an inside-out topped with thinly sliced avocado).
Also commonly found is the "rock and roll" (an inside-out roll with barbecued freshwater eel and avocado with toasted sesame seeds on the outside) and the "tempura roll", where shrimp tempura is inside the roll or the entire roll is battered and fried tempura-style.
In the Southern United States, many sushi restaurants prepare rolls using crawfish.
"Futomaki" roll is found widely within Japan.
Other types of Western-style sushi are also rarely seen in Japan.
Article: Sistine Chapel ceiling
Section: In popular culture

Question: How does Pastafarianism parody the Sistine Chapel ceiling?

In many works, the painting of God and Adam are parodied.
See The Creation of Adam for more.
In the film "2012", the entire College of Cardinals are seen praying silently under the ceiling.
The ceiling then starts to crack, commencing at the point where God's and Adam's fingers nearly touch, dividing the two.
In "", the Sistine chapel is seen falling after 500 years.
In Pastafarianism, a parody of the painting is shown as the Flying Spaghetti Monster reaching a noodly appendage out to Adam.
Playwright Neil Simon's quote about the Sistine floor-"If no one took any risks, Michaelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor.
"
The 1965 film "The Agony and the Ecstasy" features the story of Michelangelo and his travails in painting the Sistine Chapel.
He is portrayed in the film by Charlton Heston.
In the 2009 film "Angels & Demons" and also in the 2000 book on which the film is based, the chapel is featured throughout the story.
Article: Badminton
Section: Comparisons of speed and athletic requirements

Question: Do formal studies on players physical condition exist?

Statistics such as the smash speed, above, prompt badminton enthusiasts to make other comparisons that are more contentious.
For example, it is often claimed that badminton is the fastest racquet sport.
Although badminton holds the record for the fastest initial speed of a racket sports projectile, the shuttlecock decelerates substantially faster than other projectiles such as tennis balls.
In turn, this qualification must be qualified by consideration of the distance over which the shuttlecock travels: a smashed shuttlecock travels a shorter distance than a tennis ball during a serve.
Badminton's claim as the fastest racquet sport might also be based on reaction time requirements, but arguably table tennis requires even faster reaction times.
While fans of badminton and tennis often claim that their sport is the more physically demanding, such comparisons are difficult to make objectively because of the differing demands of the games.
No formal study currently exists evaluating the physical condition of the players or demands during game play.
