Question 1: When is Yom Kippur celebrated in Judaism?

Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year in Judaism. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Yom Kippur is observed on the 10th day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Jewish lunisolar calendar, which falls in September or October of the Gregorian calendar.


Question 2: How many years does it take for a bamboo plant to flower?

Bamboo plants have a highly variable flowering cycle, which can range from 12 to 120 years. After flowering, the bamboo plant dies, but its seeds can regenerate and continue the life cycle.


Question 3: How is the Italian coffee drink "Affogato" traditionally made?

Affogato is a simple Italian dessert traditionally made by pouring a shot of hot espresso over a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream. The hot coffee starts to melt the cold gelato, mixing the flavors and textures into a unique treat.



Question 4: Where was The Lord of the Rings film trilogy shot?

The Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed entirely in New Zealand across over 150 locations. The beautiful and varied landscapes of New Zealand were the perfect stand-in for Middle-earth as envisioned by director Peter Jackson, who is a native New Zealander himself. Many of the filming locations have become popular tourist attractions.


Question 5: Who is known as the father of modern psychoanalysis?

Sigmund Freud developed the psychoanalytic theory, which focuses on the influence of the unconscious mind on human behavior. He was also known for his theory of the structure of the human psyche which includes the id, ego, and superego.


Question 6: If Bruce Banner gets angry, which superhero does he turn into?

In the Marvel Comics, Bruce Banner becomes the Hulk when he gets angry, thanks to an accidental gamma radiation exposure.


Question 7: In our solar system, which planet rotates the fastest?

Despite being the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter has the shortest day, taking only about 10 hours to complete a full rotation on its axis. This high rotational speed causes Jupiter to bulge at its equator.



Question 8: What is the term for the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period?

GDP is the most widely used measure of a country's economic activity. It represents the monetary value of all goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, usually a year. While GNP also measures a country's economic output, it includes income earned by its citizens abroad.


Question 9: Why is photosynthesis important for plants?

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants to convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the plants' activities. Basically, it helps plants make their own food.


Question 10: When did women gain suffrage in the United States?

Women in the United States gained the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. The fight for women's voting rights, also known as the suffrage movement, lasted over 70 years before this success.
