SDC Trivia Game #878 - 20/10/2025

Question 1: Which layer of the Earth's atmosphere is closest to space?

The exosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere, transitioning into space. This layer extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 miles) above the Earth's surface.


Question 2: Which American actress won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in the 2001 film Erin Brockovich?

Julia Roberts portrayed the real-life legal clerk Erin Brockovich in the eponymous film, which tells the story of Brockovich's fight against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company over groundwater contamination. Roberts' performance earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2001.


Question 3: Which ancient Greek philosopher is known for the famous paradox about Achilles and the tortoise?

Zeno of Elea, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, is known for creating several paradoxes, including the one about Achilles and the tortoise. In this paradox, Achilles is in a footrace with a tortoise. Achilles allows the tortoise a head start of 100 meters. If we suppose that each racer starts running at some constant speed, then after some finite time, Achilles will have run 100 meters, bringing him to the tortoise's starting point. During this time, the tortoise has run a much shorter distance, say 10 meters. It will then take Achilles some further time to run that distance, by which time the tortoise will have advanced farther; and then more time still to reach this third point, while the tortoise moves ahead. Thus, whenever Achilles reaches somewhere the tortoise has been, he still has some distance to go before he can even reach the tortoise. This paradox is used to illustrate the concept of infinity.



Question 4: Which city is known as the City of Canals?

Venice, Italy, is widely known as the City of Canals due to its intricate network of waterways traversing the city. Its canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transportation is on water or foot.


Question 5: When was Confucius, the famous Chinese philosopher, born?

Confucius was born in 551 BC in the state of Lu, now part of Shandong Province in China. He was a highly influential Chinese philosopher and teacher whose ideas and writings, known as Confucianism, have profoundly shaped Chinese culture and thought for over 2,000 years.


Question 6: How many teeth does an adult human usually have?

Adult humans normally have 32 teeth, which includes 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 premolars, and 12 molars (including 4 wisdom teeth). However, some people may have their wisdom teeth removed, leaving them with 28 teeth total.


Question 7: Which element is represented by the chemical symbol 'Au'?

The symbol 'Au' comes from the Latin word "aurum," which means "shining dawn." Gold has been highly valued by humans for thousands of years, and its use dates back to at least 4000 BCE.



Question 8: When was the first Star Wars movie released?

The original Star Wars film, later subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope, was released on May 25, 1977. It was a groundbreaking sci-fi adventure that launched one of the most successful movie franchises of all time.


Question 9: Which city is home to the famous Sagrada Familia church, designed by Antoni Gaudí?

The Sagrada Familia is a large unfinished Roman Catholic minor basilica in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí, his work on the building is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


Question 10: What is the most widely spoken language in Australia?

Although English is the most widely spoken language in Australia, the nation is known for its multiculturalism and linguistic diversity. Estimates suggest that over 300 languages are spoken by Australia's residents.
