SDC Trivia Game #802 - 05/08/2025

Question 1: If a computer's central processing unit (CPU) is considered its "brain", which component would be considered its "short-term memory"?

Random Access Memory (RAM) is a computer's "working" memory, used to store data that the CPU needs quick access to while performing tasks. The more RAM a computer has, the more tasks it can handle simultaneously without slowing down, similar to short-term memory in the human brain. In contrast, storage devices like hard drives and SSDs hold data long-term, more akin to long-term memory.


Question 2: How long does it take to hard-boil an egg?

The time it takes to hard-boil an egg can vary based on several factors, such as the size of the egg, starting temperature, and desired consistency. However, a general guideline for a large egg is 9-12 minutes in boiling water for a fully-set yolk and firm white. It's recommended to plunge the boiled eggs into ice-cold water immediately after cooking to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.


Question 3: Which legendary figure is known for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor?

The legend of Robin Hood dates back to medieval England. The earliest known literary references to Robin Hood appear in a series of 14th and 15th century ballads.



Question 4: Which ancient Greek philosopher is known for the saying, "I know that I know nothing"?

This famous paradoxical saying is attributed to Socrates, who is considered one of the founders of Western philosophy. The saying encapsulates Socrates' approach of questioning everything and acknowledging the limits of human knowledge.


Question 5: What property of a wave is measured in Hertz (Hz)?

The frequency of a wave is the number of cycles of the wave that pass a fixed point in one second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz). Heinrich Hertz was the first to conclusively prove the existence of electromagnetic waves in the late 19th century.


Question 6: Who is considered the father of the World Wide Web?

Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, invented the World Wide Web in 1989 while working at CERN. He wrote the first web browser and server software, and defined key concepts like HTML, HTTP and URLs that form the foundation of the modern web.


Question 7: In which ancient civilization were the hanging gardens, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, said to have existed?

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They were said to have been built by King Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BC in the ancient city of Babylon, located in modern-day Iraq. However, there is some debate among historians about whether the gardens actually existed or were just a legend.



Question 8: Why is the Kangaroo and Emu featured on the Australian Coat of Arms?

The Kangaroo and Emu are featured on the Australian Coat of Arms as symbols of the country moving forward, as they are unable to walk backward. This represents progress and the nation's determination to move ahead.


Question 9: Who created the television series "Breaking Bad"?

"Breaking Bad," created by Vince Gilligan, premiered on January 20, 2008, and ran for five seasons until September 29, 2013. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest television series of all time.


Question 10: What was the name of the monster that guarded the entrance to the Underworld in Greek mythology?

In Greek mythology, Cerberus was a multi-headed dog that guarded the gates of the Underworld, preventing the dead from leaving. He was known as the "hound of Hades".
