Question 4: When was the theory of relativity first proposed?

The special theory of relativity was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905. It introduced the famous equation E=mc^2, which states that energy (E) is equal to mass (m) times the speed of light (c) squared.


Question 5: If an element has the atomic number 8, what element is it?

The atomic number of an element corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus. Oxygen has 8 protons, giving it the atomic number 8.


Question 6: How many strings does a standard violin have?

A standard violin has four strings, they are tuned in perfect fifths to the following notes: G, D, A, E. Violin is a bowed string instrument originated in Italy in the 16th century.

Question 9: Why is Mandarin Chinese often considered the most spoken language in the world?

Mandarin Chinese is often named as the most spoken language because it has the most native speakers, primarily in China. However, if you consider both native and non-native speakers, English might be more widely spoken.


Question 10: If you begin with a single pair, how many rabbits could theoretically be produced in a year as a result of their reproductive capacity?

This hypothetical situation is often referred to as the "rabbit problem". Assuming that every pair of rabbits breeds once a month and then their offspring do the same once they reach a month old, and there are no deaths, the number of rabbits could exceed a million in just a year due to their extraordinary reproductive capacity.

Another 9/10. Blew Question 9 since Mandarin is spoken in Taiwan, Singapore, Mynamar and Malaysia, as well as mainland China. Also it's a dialect, not a standalone language.

Question 10 - if you say that rabbit's pregnancy lasts 30 days means 12 litters of eight per year, half of which are female, means that you could end up with a maximum of almost 17 million rabbits after one year using the Fibonacci number thingy. A bit of aside, Okunoshima Island in Japan is also known as Rabbit Island. It is believed that school children released rabbits after World War II and they bred without any natural predators. Bred like rabbits? Hell yeah!
