@Griff88 I was watching some behind the scenes coverage from rehearsals for the opening “dance” at the 2018 Asian Games. I noticed not all the girls wore hijabs when in their gym clothes. I was wondering if some muslims don’t wear it, or if they’re just a different religion.

It's just the "costume" which requires head covering... The dance is a modification of the traditional one from Aceh...

 

Not all Muslim women cover their heads here (despite it is "trending") unless they live in Aceh, where it is compulsory.

Aceh is the district that imposed strict Shria Law right?

Guys, I need some help. I'm helping someone with a quiz (where one can use every possible resource, including the entire internet, specifically mentioned in the rules) and there's this question that I guess someone here might help with:

 

Spoiler

 

"Which sports use the following items?"

 

I know 1 is snooker and 4 is darts, the others I don't know. 5 kinda looks like pelota to me, but I saw it's not really the same..

 

An answer in a spoiler would be appreciated, don't know how spoilers work here, but I know there are forums where what's inside a spoiler isn't easily googled

That doesn't work so well: 5 refers to bowling equipment and a shitload of table tennis paddles

It does look like some sort of glove to me, but every glove I've searched (from boxing to MMA to archery) seems totally different..

 

Edit: It is....

 

Spoiler

Archery, apparently. Sold for example on this website:

What about Muay or Kickboxing?

 

Or karate! It looks similar from what I can picture.

So 5 then...What’s odd is that I’m pretty sure in my days of Wikipedia wandering I’ve seen this. I checked the racquet sports, but no luck (Basque Pelota being the strongest candidate so far). I’d say there’s a good possibility that it might not be a racquet.
