SDC Trivia Game #768 - 02/07/2025

Question 1: What is the term for the inability to recognize faces?

Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is a cognitive disorder characterized by the inability to recognize familiar faces, including one's own face. It is often caused by lesions or damage to the fusiform gyrus region of the brain.


Question 2: Why are tennis balls fuzzy?

The fuzz on a tennis ball creates a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface, which slows the ball down as it travels through the air, effectively reducing the speed and power of shots.


Question 3: What is the name of the theoretical boundary around a black hole beyond which no light or other radiation can escape?

The event horizon is the "point of no return" around a black hole. It's not a physical surface but rather an imaginary boundary. Once crossed, the escape velocity required to overcome the black hole's gravity exceeds the speed of light, which is why no light can escape from it.



Question 4: Where was the first World Cup soccer tournament held?

The first World Cup tournament was held in Uruguay, in 1930. In this memorable tournament, Uruguay also won the first FIFA World Cup.


Question 5: In what part of the body would you find the cochlea?

The cochlea is a spiral-shaped cavity of the inner ear that plays a key role in the sense of hearing. It is filled with fluid and contains the organ of Corti, which is the receptor organ for hearing.


Question 6: If a human mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive, what is the condition called that can affect their second child?

Erythroblastosis fetalis occurs when an Rh-negative mother has been sensitized to Rh-positive blood and produces antibodies that attack the red blood cells of her Rh-positive fetus. This typically happens during a second or later pregnancy. A RhoGAM shot can prevent this sensitization if given to an Rh-negative mother after each pregnancy and delivery.


Question 7: Who invented the Fahrenheit temperature scale?

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a Polish-Dutch physicist, invented the Fahrenheit temperature scale in 1724. The scale is primarily used in the United States and Caribbean nations.



Question 8: If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, what happens to the cell?

In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell than inside. This causes water to move out of the cell via osmosis, leading to cell shrinkage, a process known as crenation. The opposite would occur in a hypotonic solution, where water would flow into the cell, causing swelling or even bursting.


Question 9: Where did Greek mythology say the gods lived?

In Greek mythology, Mount Olympus was considered the home of the Twelve Olympians, the major gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon. It was said to be the highest mountain in Greece, located in the Olympus Range on the border between Thessaly and Macedonia.


Question 10: When was the first appearance of Wolverine in Marvel Comics?

Wolverine first appeared in the final panel of The Incredible Hulk #180 in October 1974, and then had a more substantial role in #181 the following month. He was created by writer Len Wein and Marvel art director John Romita Sr., who designed the character.
