Which incident that occurred on Earth about 40 thousand years ago is called the "Lashamps event"?
Correct answer: Short-lived change in the Earth's magnetic field

Scotti
I'm surprised this is the first mention of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I've seen.

Player #25874027, the old kauri trees are buried, preserved in bogs, not alive

This happened on earth?!? I reall need to put down Dan Brown and John Grisham and pick up a facts book.

Roy Jones
The pic though gave it away!😂

Player #25874027
So there is a 41000 year old tree in existence . They’ll probably cut that down to find out why and how it lived so long

Player #21035860, read his books, they are much better than the movie or TV series.

The fact we know this event happened 41,400 years ago is pretty amazing

Jaap
The picture used with this question is not a giveaway. At all.

Thank you so much for the knowledge I have been gaining everytime I have time to play this game. More power to all the creators.

Player #25874027, you missed the part where it said the tree "was" alive, didn't you?

AdmirableStacy
Scotti, I’m surprised anyone mentions the Planet Earth 🌎

Myffa
WalksBySelf, I think they meant it is useful since it _was_ alive during the event, even though it has died and been buried since?

Ez
now this is interesting. That means the New Zealand kauri tree has surpassed the answer for the oldest tree in the world. Wish I could remember the answer to that one.

41.400 years ago... just another example of how small and meaningless we truly are. always worrying and fussing about stuff that seems so important. but just think about it for a moment.
what is your biggest problem right now? school? work? relationships? health?
think about this problem in the future, will it be there tomorrow? next week? in a month?
will it concern you in a view years?
Now think about the millions of people who lived before you, live with you and will live after you. think about their problems. do you know them? do they bother you?
after your death people will mourn you. they will grieve about you for a month or two, maybe a year. but slowly their sadness will fade. slowly they will forget about you. years will pass and they will pass with them. maybe they will tell their kids about you. maybe their kids will remember you. but after the death of their kids nobody will remember you. Cause let's be honest, you don't even know the names of you great grandparents either.
so nobody will remember you. nobody will notice your grave among the thousands of others.
So what's the point of you problems and worries?

WalksBySelf, - Alive during the event.

has anyone seen Anu?

If that happened today somebody would blame it on climate change, caused by humans.

Ranna
Scotti, surprised as in “ I expected more” or as in “who on earth is Douglas adams and what is hgttg”?
In my opinion Douglas adams rocks!

I like this game it is fun to play, but it is hard as well

Lionessa
Jaap, The lines coming out of the N and S poles represent the planet's magnetic field. That's how the picture tells the answer.

chi
I could clearly see the magnetic field lines

Reva
amazing 🤩

Daisy
Jaap, 😅

Milo
Jaap, what do you think, what is the meaning of the letters N and S?

Alison
I love this game. But when I learn (read) things like this fact, I suddenly feel very dumb. It's astonishing how scientists etc. can know these things

Milo
Jaap, Why do you know what it shows?

Milo
WalksBySelf, read the answer once again.
