Italian Cruiser Quarto
''Quarto'' was a unique protected cruiser built by the Italian ''Regia Marina'' (Royal Navy) in the 1910s. Her keel was laid in November 1909, she was launched in August 1911, and was completed in March 1913. She was the first Italian cruiser to be equipped with steam turbines, which gave her a top speed of . Her high speed was a requirement for the role in which she was designed to serve: a scout for the main Italian fleet. ''Quarto'' was based at Brindisi during World War I; she saw action once, during an attack by the Austro-Hungarian Navy on transports operating in the southern Adriatic. She engaged the Austro-Hungarian cruiser but neither ship was damaged and both sides withdrew. ''Quarto'' served briefly in East Asian waters in the early 1930s, and supported Italian forces during the Second Italo-Abyssinian War in 1936. The following year she served as the flagship of the Italian forces participating in the non-intervention patrols during the Spanish Civil War; here ...

Gibraltarian Real
The real was the official currency of Gibraltar until 1825 and continued to circulate alongside other Spanish and British currencies until 1898. History After the Anglo-Dutch occupied Gibraltar in 1704, the Spanish real continued to circulate in the town. However, no distinction was made between the silver (''de plata'') and billon (''de vellón'') reales issued by the Spanish (1 ''real de plata'' = 2 ''reales de vellón'' before 1737, 2½ after), providing a substantial profit for the army officers making payments to troops. In 1741, the following rates of exchange were established: 2 ''blancas'' = ''1 maravedi'', 4 ''maravedíes'' = 1 ''quarto'' or ''quart'', 16 quartos = 1 real de vellón, 8 reales de vellón = 1 ''peso sencillo'' ("current" dollar), 10 reales de vellón = 1 ''peso fuerte'' ("hard" dollar, also known as the ''Spanish dollar''). These roughly doubled the value of the real de vellón relative to its value in Spain. Much of the currency in circulation was in t ...

Quarto (board Game)
''Quarto'' is a board game for two players invented by Swiss mathematician Blaise Müller. It is published and copyrighted by Gigamic. The game is played on a 4×4 board. There are 16 unique pieces to play with, each of which is either: * tall or short; * red or blue (or a different pair of colors, e.g. light- or dark-stained wood); * square or circular; and * hollow-top or solid-top. Players take turns choosing a piece which the other player must then place on the board. A player wins by placing a piece on the board which forms a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row of four pieces, all of which have a common attribute (all short, all circular, etc.). A variant rule included in many editions gives a second way to win by placing four matching pieces in a 2×2 square. ''Quarto'' is distinctive in that there is only one set of common pieces, rather than a set for one player and a different set for the other. It is therefore an impartial game.
