All you movie buffs - put your thinking caps on.

A four parter;

1. Who was the first child actor to be nominated for an Academy Award? (HINT: he died last month.)

2. What was the name of the movie he starred in?

3. What year(s) are we talking about? ( (s); another hint.)

4. Who were the actors who won the Award for best actor this year, and what were the movies they starred in?

1) Jackie Cooper nominated for "best actor" for his role in “Scippy”,
    in 1931 when he was 9 years old ?
    Were child-actresses Shirley Temple, Elizabeth Taylor and Jodie Foster
    also nominated and the little girl Anna Paquin, age nine, in “The Piano”?

2) Colin Firth wins “best actor” Academy Awards in 2011 “The King’s Speech”
    Natalie Portman wins “best actress” 2011 for her role in “Black Swan”.

Sorry, folks, for not being clear about "this year". I should have said  'this particular year".

So cath-hater and kristina, you've both done very well but not perfectly.

It was Jackie Cooper. The film was "Skippy". The year(s) were 1931/32. The two actors who shared the best actor award were Wallace Beery (The Champ) and Frederic March (Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde).

I'll let you slug it out betwen you for the next question.

Thanks galvo.

Because I have been participating in “Trivia” for some time,
and I do enjoy it very much,
I hand the next question over to cath-hater,
and look forward to cath-hater’s question.

Over to you, cath-hater.

In regards to Disneyland character Tinker Bell. Who played the original mascot of Tinker Bell for Disneyland park?  What was her name and what was she the first to do?

The first Tinker Bell to appear at Disneyland Park in California was played by a woman named Tiny Kline a very petite woman who was four feet ten inches tall and a mere 98 pounds. She was hired in 1961 to fly during the fireworks display.

That's all space flights then? Including those that don't carry astronaughts? Including Sputnik 1 from 1956?

I guess it must be a radio transmitter. And radio receiver so that ground control can give instructions to the space module.

Special ways had to be invented to pack their food because of the gravity in space.
Their food was in tubes, the Russians had mainly Borscht (Beetroot-soup, can be eaten hot or cold)
and they pressed the Borscht from the tube directly into their mouth.
The Americans also had tubes to eat from, but were more into apple-sauce.
The tube-food was also enhanced by Vitamins and minerals.

Thanks cath-hater, here is my question:

If you have a circular pond with a safety rail around the pond,
and you decide to increase the diameter of the pond by two feet,
how many feet of extra rail around the pond would you have to buy?

C= pi x d
so 3.14 x 2= 6.28?
It has been way too long since I had to do something like this

If C=pi x d, then the way to calculate that would be C = 3.14 x (d + 2), provided the given diameter is in feet.  Not sure how you manage to calculate that with 2 variables, though.
