Question 3: The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, is an example of which architectural style?

Designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is one of the most admired works of contemporary architecture and an example of Deconstructivist design, a movement characterized by fragmentation and distortion of structure.



Question 4: How long does it take for light from the Sun to reach Earth?

The distance between the Sun and Earth is approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). Light travels at a speed of 299,792 kilometers per second, so it takes around 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to reach Earth.


Question 5: Which element has the chemical symbol Hg?

The chemical symbol Hg comes from the Greek word "hydrargyrum", meaning liquid silver, which refers to mercury's shiny, silver-white appearance and liquid state at room temperature. Mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure.


Question 6: In what century was the Mona Lisa painted?

The Mona Lisa is a half-length portrait painting by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. Considered an archetypal masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, it has been described as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world."


Question 7: Who invented the first writing system?

The Sumerians developed cuneiform script around 3500-3000 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq). It is considered the earliest known writing system in the world.



Question 8: Where is SpongeBob SquarePants' place of work?

SpongeBob works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, a fast food restaurant in Bikini Bottom known for its Krabby Patties. The restaurant is owned by the miserly Mr. Krabs and is in constant competition with the neighboring Chum Bucket.


Question 9: How many cylinders does a typical Formula One racing engine have?

Modern Formula One cars use 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 engines. This engine configuration has been the standard since the 2014 season when the regulations changed from 2.4-liter V8 engines to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.


Question 10: Which country has a maple leaf on its national flag?

The maple leaf has been a symbol of Canada since the 18th century and is featured prominently on the country's national flag, which was adopted in 1965. The maple leaf represents the vast forests and beautiful fall colors that are characteristic of Canada.
