SDC Trivia Game #869 - 11/10/2025

Question 1: When water freezes into ice, what happens to its volume?

When water freezes into ice, its volume increases by about 9%. This is because water expands as it freezes, unlike most other substances which contract. This expansion is what causes ice to float on water.


Question 2: Where is the world's tallest building located?

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai stands at 828 meters (2,717 ft) tall. It has been the tallest building in the world since its completion in 2010. The Burj Khalifa has 163 floors and features the highest outdoor observation deck in the world on the 148th floor.


Question 3: Where was acclaimed author J.R.R. Tolkien born?

While Tolkien spent most of his life in England and is closely associated with Oxford University, he was actually born in Bloemfontein, South Africa in 1892. His family moved back to England when he was 3 years old.



Question 4: How many needles does a standard sewing machine use?

A standard sewing machine uses a single needle to stitch fabric together. The needle moves up and down, passing the thread through the fabric to create the stitches. Some specialized machines like sergers or coverstitch machines may use multiple needles, but a typical home sewing machine has just one.


Question 5: Why is double jeopardy prohibited in most legal systems?

The prohibition on double jeopardy is a fundamental principle in most legal systems, which stipulates that an individual cannot be tried twice for the same crime. This protection is enshrined in the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution and is intended to prevent the government from repeatedly prosecuting an individual for the same offense until a conviction is obtained.


Question 6: How many seasons of the show "Friends" were released?

"Friends" is a sitcom that aired on NBC for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004. Each season consists of 24 episodes, except its final season, which was abbreviated to 18 episodes.


Question 7: In ancient Egypt, who was the god of the afterlife and mummification?

Osiris is one of the most significant gods of ancient Egypt. He was associated with the afterlife, death, life, and vegetation. Osiris was often depicted as a green-skinned deity with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and flail. Anubis, who is often confused with Osiris, was actually the god of embalming and the dead's guide to the underworld, not the god of the afterlife himself.



Question 8: Which Andrew Lloyd Webber musical is the longest-running show on Broadway?

"The Phantom of the Opera" opened on Broadway in 1988 and became the longest-running show in Broadway history. It surpassed "Cats," another Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, which previously held the record.


Question 9: The character Bruce Wayne is better known by what superhero alias?

Created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in 1939. Unlike many superheroes, Batman does not possess any superhuman powers; he relies on his intellect, physical prowess, martial arts abilities, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, intimidation, and indomitable will.


Question 10: Why was the discovery of the Rosetta Stone so significant for understanding ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs?

The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799, was inscribed with three versions of a decree in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic script, and ancient Greek. As ancient Greek was well known, it provided the key to finally deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs, opening up understanding of many ancient Egyptian writings and inscriptions.

the answer is wrong!! Anubis was the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife and mummification, often depicted with the head of a jackal. He guided souls through the underworld, oversaw the mummification process, and presided over the weighing of the heart ceremony to determine a person's fate in the afterlife.

You make Anubis (my pick also) sound like the Personal Assistant to the actual God of the dead, i.e he did all the work and the boss takes the glory.
