SDC Trivia Game #428 - 27/07/2024

Question 1: Who is credited with inventing the "Little Black Dress"?

French fashion designer Coco Chanel is widely credited with popularizing the "Little Black Dress" in the 1920s. Her simple yet elegant design was revolutionary for the time and became a timeless fashion staple that is still widely worn today. Chanel's little black dress was designed to be versatile, accessible to women of all social classes, and suitable for a variety of occasions.


Question 2: In the TV series "Friends", what is the name of Phoebe's twin sister?

Phoebe's twin sister Ursula, also played by Lisa Kudrow, appears in several episodes throughout the series. Ursula works as a waitress and often uses Phoebe's name, causing confusion and trouble for Phoebe.


Question 3: Which Beatles album features the songs "Come Together", "Something", and "Here Comes the Sun"?

The famous philosophical proposition "I think, therefore I am" (Latin: "Cogito, ergo sum") was introduced by René Descartes in his 1637 work Discourse on the Method. It is the first principle of Descartes' philosophy, as he used this statement as a foundation to build his entire philosophical system and to demonstrate the attainability of certain knowledge.



Question 4: How long does the celebration of Hanukkah typically last?

Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a Jewish holiday that typically lasts for eight days and nights. The holiday commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the second century B.C.


Question 5: If a Cold War movie was released in 1964, which war would it most likely be about?

The Korean War, which took place from 1950 to 1953, was a significant part of the early Cold War era. A movie released in 1964 would likely focus on this conflict rather than World War II, which ended in 1945, or the Vietnam War and Gulf War, which had not yet begun in 1964.


Question 6: What is the name of Zeus' wife in Greek mythology?

In Greek mythology, Hera is the goddess of marriage and family, and the wife of Zeus, the king of the gods. She is known for her jealousy and vengeful nature, often punishing Zeus' lovers and their children.


Question 7: When viewed from Earth, which planet appears to rotate backwards?

Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, so when viewed from Earth, it appears to rotate backwards. This is known as retrograde rotation. A Venusian day is longer than a Venusian year.



Question 8: When was the first successful gasoline-powered tractor invented?

The first successful gasoline-powered tractor was invented in 1892 by John Froelich in Clayton County, Iowa. This marked a significant milestone in the mechanization of agriculture and paved the way for more efficient farming practices.


Question 9: Why does the person holding the gavel in a courtroom wear a black robe?

The black robe worn by judges is a symbol of impartiality, formality, and the serious nature of court proceedings. The tradition of wearing black robes dates back to the 17th century in England and has been adopted by many judicial systems around the world.


Question 10: Where is the headquarters of Interpol located?

Interpol, or the International Criminal Police Organization, is an intergovernmental organization that facilitates international police cooperation. Its headquarters has been located in Lyon, France since 1989. Interpol assists law enforcement agencies in its 195 member countries to combat transnational crime.
