[NikPreviousAcct]

What's the longest word in the English language that one can type on a keyboard with only the left hand. You must only using the keys that correctly correspond with current typing rules and the left hand -i.e. everything left of (and including) T, G, and B.

Ready? Set? Go!

"stewardesses" is the correct guess.

werestewardesses - you know, like werewolves?

 

[AmazonRasta]

I don't know about you - but I learned and have always typed T, G and B with my left hand. Even though the longest word doesn't use any of these letters, words with those letters in them can still be typed with only the left hand.

 

[AreaCode707]

What's the British term for a 64th note?

Actually, AFTERCATARACTS, TESSERADECADES, and TETRASTEARATES are the correct guesses, but stewardesses is close...

Ooooo... time to update the list Anyway, I heard that question years ago. Those must be fairly recent new words.

Nice, but I wound up confusing myself with my own question. Is that a 64th note or a 32nd?

I don't actually know if that is a 64th note or not, it's the smallest note I know though

 

[BigJohnKC]

The answer, I believe, is Goldeneye, and my guess for sequence is number 17.

 

[AmazonRasta]

It is the 64th note.

How many different possible colour combinations are there on a Rubik's Cube?

True
The answer for AR's rubik's cube question would have been near impossible to come up with off the top of your head, though...
