SDC Trivia Game #567 - 13/12/2024

Question 1: Who is the creator of the Peanuts comic strip?

Charles M. Schulz created Peanuts, a comic strip featuring memorable characters like Charlie Brown and Snoopy. It was first published on October 2, 1950, and ran until February 13, 2000, with a total of 17,897 strips.


Question 2: If an object in motion is acted on by an external force, what happens to its velocity?

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. So if a force acts on a moving object, its velocity (speed and/or direction) will change.


Question 3: Which city is traditionally said to be built on seven hills?

Rome's seven hills are a central part of the city’s ancient mythology. The hills are Aventine, Caelian, Capitoline, Esquiline, Palatine, Quirinal, and Viminal.



Question 4: Which city is known as "The City of Love"?

Paris is often called "The City of Love" for its romantic ambiance and culture. It's a popular destination for couples, especially due to landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the art housed in the Louvre Museum.


Question 5: Who is the legendary outlaw from English folklore known for robbing from the rich to give to the poor?

Robin Hood is a legendary figure in English folklore, dating back to at least the 14th century. He was known for his exceptional archery skills and for leading a band of outlaws called the Merry Men, in Sherwood Forest in England.


Question 6: How long did the American Revolutionary War last?

The American Revolutionary War lasted from 1775 to 1783. It began with the Battles of Lexington and Concord and officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris.


Question 7: If someone wears a garment that covers the head and neck, leaving only the eyes visible, what is this garment called?

Balaclavas are commonly worn for protection against cold weather or for anonymity during protests and other similar events. They were first used during the Crimean War in the 1850s to protect British troops from the cold climate.



Question 8: When warm, moist air rises and cools to its dew point, which weather phenomenon is likely to occur?

When warm, moist air rises and cools to its dew point, water vapor condenses into liquid water droplets, which form clouds. This process is essential for cloud formation and plays a crucial role in the Earth's water cycle.


Question 9: Which superhero is known as the "Scarlet Speedster"?

The Flash, known as the "Scarlet Speedster" for his red costume and super speed, first appeared in "Flash Comics" #1 in 1940. The character has been a staple of DC Comics and is a member of the Justice League.

Hi Bullwinkle, It ain't necessarily so. My husband was a seafarer who went into Antarctic and Arctic waters. As a thoughtful new wife I knitted him a balaclava. It had one hole for both eyes and covered nose and rest of face, with a slit for mouth. I ran out of wool before I got too far under the chin so the neck needed a scarf. He said it worked well and he kept it for over forty years.
