Re: General Quiz

Hi;

.

Both the Answers, #5903 and #5904, are correct. Excellent, bobbym!

#5905. Name a food preparation originating in Japan, consisting of cooked vinegared rice combined with other ingredients such as raw seafood, vegetables and sometimes tropical fruits.

#5906. Name a  type of Mexican and Tex-Mex food, consisting of a wheat flour tortilla wrapped or folded into a cylindrical shape to completely enclose the filling (in contrast to a taco, which is generally formed by simply folding a tortilla in half around a filling, leaving the semicircular perimeter open). The flour tortilla is usually lightly grilled or steamed, to soften it and make it more pliable.
Tex-Mex (from Texan and Mexican) is a term describing a fusion of American cuisine and Mexican cuisine, deriving from the culinary creations of Tejanos. It has spread from border states such as Texas and those in the Southwestern United States to the rest of the country as well as Canada. Tex-Mex is most popular in the state of Texas.

#5926. They are hadronic subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark, bound together by the strong interaction. Because they are composed of sub-particles, they have a physical size, with a diameter of roughly one fermi, which is about 2⁄3 the size of a proton or neutron. All these are unstable, with the longest-lived lasting for only a few hundredths of a microsecond. Charged of them decay (sometimes through intermediate particles) to form electrons and neutrinos. Uncharged of them may decay to photons. Name them.
