the U.S invented dynamite, and the man that invented dynamite felt bad for all the death that dynamite did, so he put all his money tordes the Nobel peace prize. that's the connection I see. the captile of Syria is Damascus.

1. Which film has won the most Oscars?

The three films which have been awarded 11 Oscars each are Ben-Hur (1959), Titanic (1997), and The Return of the King (2003). Only The Return of the King won every Oscar for which it was nominated.

2. Who was the 3rd man on the Moon?
Charles "Pete" Conrad, Jr. (June 2, 1930 – July 8, 1999), was an American astronaut and the third man to walk on the moon.

3. Who is the only man to have won an Oscar and a Nobel prize?
George Bernard Shaw is the only person to have been awarded both an Oscar (Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Pygmalion in 1938) and a Nobel Prize (the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925)

4. What is the capital of Syria?
Damascus (دمشق transliteration: Dimashq, also commonly known as الشام ash-Shām) is the capital and largest city of Syria.
5. Why are man-hole covers round?
The question of why manhole covers are typically round, at least in the U.S., was made notorious by Microsoft, and Tony Martinez when they began asking it as a job-interview question.[2] Originally meant as a psychological assessment of how one approaches a question with more than one "right" answer, the problem exerts a strange fascination on people, who seek to find alternate explanations, from the pragmatic and satirical to the philosophical. One practical answer being, "Manhole covers are round because manholes are round."[2]
Reasons for the shape include:
•A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square manhole cover may fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the aperture (A Reuleaux triangle or other curve of constant width would also serve this purpose, but round covers are much easier to manufacture.)
•Round tubes are the strongest and most material-efficient shape against the compression of the earth around them, and so it is natural that the cover of a round tube assume a circular shape.
•The bearing surfaces of manhole frames and covers are machined to assure flatness and prevent them from becoming dislodged by traffic.
•Round castings are much easier to machine using horizontal boring mills.
•Circular covers do not need to be rotated to align them when covering a circular manhole.
•Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section.
•A round manhole cover can be more easily moved by being rolled.
•If an automobile rolls over a dislodged manhole of another shape, the sharp corners could puncture the automobile's tire, whereas a circle doesn't have corners.
•Tradition
•Aesthetics
Other manhole shapes can be found, usually squares or rectangles. Nashua, New Hampshire may be unique in the U.S. for having triangular manhole covers that point in the direction of the underlying flow. The city is phasing out the triangles, which were made by a local foundry, because they are not large enough to meet modern safety standards, and larger triangles cannot be found. [1]

6. Who invented dynamite?
It was invented by Swedish chemist and engineer Alfred Nobel in 1866 in Krümmel and patented in 1867.

7. Which 2 answers are connected ( apart from Oscars )?
6 & 3 --- Nobel is the connection
1. There are actually 3 films which have won the most oscars. The most ever won is 11, Titanic 1997 , Lord of the Rings - Return of the King 2003, and Ben Hur 1959.
