SDC Trivia Game #891 - 02/11/2025

Question 1: Which holiday is known as the celebration of the Mexican army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862?

Despite common misconceptions, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day, which is celebrated on September 16th. It's primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla and in the United States. It is not a federal holiday in Mexico, and it's not widely observed throughout the rest of the country.


Question 2: In what year was the first Model T automobile produced by the Ford Motor Company?

The first Model T rolled off the assembly line on October 1, 1908, at the Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit, Michigan. The Model T was the first mass-produced, affordable automobile that opened travel to the middle-class American, and is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile.


Question 3: What is the minimum age one must be to run for President of the United States?

The U.S. Constitution requires the President to be at least 35 years old, a resident within the United States for 14 years, and a natural-born citizen. This age requirement helps ensure a certain level of maturity and experience.



Question 4: What is the hardest mineral known to man?

Diamonds are the hardest known mineral and are effectively used in various industrial applications such as cutting, grinding, and drilling due to this unique property. They score a 10 on the Mohs hardness scale.


Question 5: Which country has won the most Rugby World Cup titles?

The New Zealand national rugby team, also known as the All Blacks, have won the Rugby World Cup three times, in 1987, 2011, and 2015. New Zealand is widely regarded as one of the most successful rugby teams in history, with a win ratio exceeding 75%.


Question 6: Which character from the Peanuts comic strip is known for his zigzag shirt?

Charlie Brown, the main character in the Peanuts comic strip, is recognized for his distinctive yellow shirt with a black zigzag pattern. This iconic look has become synonymous with the beloved character created by Charles M. Schulz.


Question 7: What is the world's largest and deepest ocean?

The Pacific Ocean covers more than 60 million square miles (165 million square kilometers) and has an average depth of 12,080 feet (3,682 meters).



Question 8: In terms of production volume, which country is the largest producer of rice?

China is the largest producer of rice in the world, followed by India. This is not surprising given that rice is a staple in the diet of most Asian countries.


Question 9: When is Australia Day celebrated?

Australia Day is celebrated every year on January 26 to commemorate the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in 1788, marking the beginning of European settlement in Australia.


Question 10: Who is believed to have written the poem that the song "Auld Lang Syne" is based on?

The poem was written by Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788. "Auld Lang Syne" is traditionally sung to celebrate the start of the New Year at midnight. The phrase "auld lang syne" roughly translates to "times gone by."
