Question 1: In the Harry Potter series, what is the name of Harry Potter's pet owl?

Hedwig is a snowy owl given to Harry Potter on his 11th birthday by Rubeus Hagrid as a gift. She remains Harry's loyal companion throughout the majority of the series.


Question 2: When was the World Wide Web (WWW) first introduced to the public?

The World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 but was first introduced to the public on August 6, 1991. It should not be confused with the internet itself, which is the underlying network of networks that was established in the late 1960s and is used by the WWW.


Question 3: What is the normal resting heart rate for a healthy adult?

A lower resting heart rate can indicate better cardiovascular fitness. For example, highly trained athletes may have a resting heart rate as low as 40 beats per minute.



Question 4: If invited to dine in a Japanese home, what should you say before eating?

"Itadakimasu" roughly translates to "I humbly receive" in Japanese. It is customary to say this phrase before eating to express thanks for the meal.


Question 5: Who wrote the classic novel "To Kill a Mockingbird"?

Harper Lee wrote "To Kill a Mockingbird," published in 1960. The book quickly became a classic of American literature, renowned for its portrayal of racial injustice.


Question 6: In Greek mythology, who is known as the god of the sea?

Poseidon is one of the twelve Olympian deities of the pantheon in Greek mythology. His domain is the ocean and he is called the "God of the Sea". Additionally, he is referred to as "Earth-Shaker" due to his role in causing earthquakes.


Question 7: What was the main conflict event that triggered World War I?

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on June 28, 1914, is considered to be the event that precipitated the outbreak of World War I. The murder caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, whose nationalist was responsible for the assassination, triggering a chain reaction of alliances that led to a global conflict.



Question 8: If you were to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, which country's culture would you be embracing?

Cinco de Mayo, or the Fifth of May, is a Mexican holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War on May 5, 1862. It is often mistaken as Mexico's Independence Day, but that's actually on September 16.


Question 9: Which TV series featured characters named Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe?

"Friends" is an American television sitcom that was aired on NBC from 1994 to 2004. It is a very popular show, with the characters Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe living in New York City and navigating life and relationships.


Question 10: How many stages of sleep are there according to conventional human sleep cycle models?
