SDC Trivia Game #568 - 14/12/2024

Question 1: Which architect designed the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain?

The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, was designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry and is considered one of his most famous works. The building is a spectacular example of deconstructivism, a movement in postmodern architecture characterised by fragmentation and distortion of the structure's surface or form.


Question 2: Who is considered the 'father of geometry'?

Euclid, a Greek mathematician who lived around 300 BC, is often referred to as the 'father of geometry'. His book 'Elements' was the most influential mathematics book in history and was used as a geometry textbook for around 2,000 years.


Question 3: What is the primary cause of the seasons on Earth?

The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels through its year-long path around the sun. This axial tilt is about 23.5 degrees and results in varying intensities of sunlight hitting different parts of the Earth at different times of the year.



Question 4: What type of chemical bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms?

A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding. Covalent bonds are common in most organic compounds.


Question 5: Which part of the human brain is responsible for processing visual information?

The occipital lobe, located at the back of the brain, is primarily responsible for visual perception and is part of the cerebral cortex. Damage to this area can result in visual impairments or difficulties in processing visual information.


Question 6: How many seasons did the original "I Love Lucy" television show run for?

"I Love Lucy," an American television sitcom starring Lucille Ball, ran from October 1951 to May 1957. The iconic show was groundbreaking for its time, with an estimated 40 million Americans tuning in each week to watch Lucy's antics.


Question 7: Which composer is known as the "Father of the Symphony"?

Joseph Haydn, an Austrian composer of the Classical period, wrote 104 symphonies during his career. His contributions to musical form have earned him the epithet "Father of the Symphony."



Question 8: Which comic book series is known for introducing the superhero Batman?

Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27, published in 1939. The character was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring superheroes in pop culture.


Question 9: How many moons does Saturn have?

Saturn has the most moons of any planet in our solar system. While the exact number may change as new discoveries are made, as of 2023, Saturn is known to have 82 confirmed moons, with many more awaiting confirmation.


Question 10: How is the date of Easter determined each year?

The date of Easter varies from year to year. It is celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon that occurs on or after the March equinox (also known as the vernal or spring equinox). This method of determining Easter's date was set by the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE.
