SDC Trivia Game #536 - 12/11/2024

Question 1: Who was the first woman to travel into space?

Valentina Tereshkova, a Russian astronaut, was the first woman to go to space. She orbited the Earth 48 times aboard Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963. Sally Ride was the first American woman in space, but this occurred 20 years later, in 1983.


Question 2: How many stages are there in Erikson's theory of psychosocial development?

Erikson's theory describes eight stages of psychosocial development that people go through from infancy to late adulthood, with each stage focused on resolving a specific conflict or crisis.


Question 3: Who is the Greek goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, and civilization?

Athena is also considered the goddess of justice and strategic warfare. Born from the forehead of her father Zeus, she is often portrayed wearing a helmet and carrying a shield.



Question 4: If you roll a pair of six-sided dice, what is the probability of rolling a total of 7?

When rolling two six-sided dice, there are 6 combinations that result in a total of 7 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1). Since there are 36 possible combinations when rolling two dice, the probability is 6/36, which simplifies to 1/6. It's the most probable outcome for any single roll.


Question 5: The Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was located in which ancient city?

The Temple of Artemis, dedicated to the Greek goddess Artemis, was completed around 550 BC in the ancient city of Ephesus (modern-day Turkey). It was destroyed in a series of events and eventually lost to history.


Question 6: If a group of lions is called a pride, what is a group of crows known as?

The term "murder" for a group of crows originates from folklore and superstition which often portrays crows as omens of death. This has contributed to the eerie and somewhat poetic name for a gathering of these birds.


Question 7: Why is the Great Barrier Reef considered endangered?

Climate change, particularly rising water temperatures, causes coral bleaching, which can lead to coral death. Additionally, human activities, such as pollution, coastal development, and overfishing, have severely impacted the reef's ecosystem.



Question 8: What Christian holiday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Easter is celebrated on a Sunday, typically in late March or April. The date varies because it is based on the lunar calendar. Easter also has connections to ancient pagan spring festivals.


Question 9: Which political party has won the most U.S. presidential elections?

The Republican Party, founded in 1854, has won 24 of the 59 presidential elections since the party's first election in 1856. This includes the 18 elections won by Republican candidates since the end of the American Civil War in 1865.


Question 10: What is the most expensive spice in the world by weight?

Saffron comes from the stigmas of the crocus flower. It takes around 75,000 flowers to make just one pound of saffron, which explains its high price. Iran is the world's leading producer of saffron.

Never say that! Being a little further down the track only means I’ve seen a bit more —that’s all. Remembering what I saw and heard gets trickier. I recall the 🚀stuff and most of the history stuff, but psycho gibberish is harder. And 🇺🇸 politics… ugh.
Cheers bro! 🍷🍾🍷
