SDC Trivia Game #585 - 31/12/2024

Question 1: Which chemical element has the highest melting point?

Carbon, in its diamond form, has the highest melting point of any element at around 7,280°F (4,027°C). Carbon's extremely strong covalent bonds require immense energy to overcome, giving diamond its record-setting melting point.


Question 2: What is the name of the hammer wielded by Thor, the Norse god of thunder?

Mjölnir is one of the most fearsome weapons in Norse mythology, capable of leveling mountains. Only Thor is strong enough to lift the hammer, and it is said to return to his hand after being thrown.


Question 3: What is the busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic?

Despite not being in a major global city like many of its competitors, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, located in Atlanta, Georgia, has consistently been the busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic since 1998. This is largely due to its status as the primary hub for Delta Air Lines.



Question 4: Where is the headquarters of the multinational technology company Apple Inc. located?

Apple Inc.'s headquarters, known as Apple Park, is situated in Cupertino, California. The campus is noted for its striking architecture and circular design, sometimes referred to as "the spaceship," and was completed in 2017.


Question 5: What was the name of the Act implemented in the U.S. in 1933 that allowed alcohol to be produced and sold legally?

The Cullen-Harrison Act was enacted by Congress in 1933, and amended the Eighteenth Amendment, which marked the beginning of the end of Prohibition in the United States.


Question 6: Who coined the term 'biodiversity'?

The term 'biodiversity' was first coined by Walter G. Rosen in 1985. It is a contraction of 'biological diversity' and refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth at all levels, from genes to ecosystems.


Question 7: When was the United Nations founded?

The United Nations officially came into existence on October 24, 1945, after the UN Charter was ratified by the five permanent members of the Security Council and a majority of the other 46 signatories. It replaced the League of Nations, which was founded in 1920.



Question 8: What is the medical term for low blood sugar?

Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by an abnormally low level of glucose (or sugar) in the blood. It's closely monitored especially in people with diabetes who take insulin or other medications that can potentially lower blood sugar.


Question 9: When did Queen Elizabeth II ascend to the throne?

Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne after the death of her father, King George VI, on February 6th, 1952. She is the longest-serving current head of state, having reigned since the age of 25.


Question 10: When was Buddhism founded?

Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama, who later became the Buddha, in the 5th century BCE in India. It has since spread throughout Asia and the rest of the world and has over 500 million followers globally.
