Quiz #99 - Nov 4, 2019 - Competition Mode (Scores)

Instructions Competition Mode: For each correct answer, you get points based on how many other players get the question wrong. Your score is the sum of all correct answers.

Example: If you get a question correct that only 10% of all players get correct, you get 90 points for that question.

You can choose 5 questions to "Double". If you get it correct, your score is doubled for that question.

TIP: Easy questions aren't usually worth doubling since you are likely doubling a small number of points. You're better off doubling the hardest questions that you think you have correct (80 points possibly doubled is a lot better than 10 points definitely doubled).

You will not lose points for incorrect answers, so feel free to guess.

You can enter up to three group names, separated by commas, in the "Private Group" input. After you submit, when you view your results you can see the leaderboards for just your group(s). You will also get links you can share with others so they can play in those groups.
Feel free to create your own group name, such as your company or town, and pass the links along to friends, family, and coworkers.

Good luck!

Question #19: Literature/Architecture: What American architect, inventor, and futurist, who popularized the term "Spaceship Earth" to promote a harmonious world view, documented his life, philosophy, and ideas daily in his diary, a tome which would later be called the "Dymaxion Chronofile"?

Answer: Buckminster Fuller
Dymaxion is a term that Buckminster Fuller associated with much of his work - prominently his Dymaxion house and Dymaxion car, as well as the Dymaxion world map, a projection onto the surface of an icosahedron which is heavily interrupted in order to preserve the shapes and sizes of landmasses. Dymaxion also came to describe the polyphasic sleep schedule he followed, consisting of four 30-minute naps throughout the day.
