SDC Trivia Game #618 - 02/02/2025

Question 1: What is the national flower of Wales?

The daffodil is synonymous with Wales, often worn on St David's Day, the patron saint of Wales. Confusingly, the leek is also a national emblem of Wales, but the daffodil has gained more modern prominence in part due to its visual appeal.


Question 2: The platypus is native to which country?

The platypus is native to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is one of only two mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth, the other being the echidna.


Question 3: Who painted "The Starry Night"?

Vincent van Gogh painted "The Starry Night" in 1889 during his stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. The piece is renowned for its swirling night sky and has become one of van Gogh's most famous works.



Question 4: What is the SI unit of electric current?

The ampere is named after French mathematician and physicist André-Marie Ampère, considered the father of electromagnetism. One ampere is defined as 6.241 × 10^18 electrons (or one coulomb) per second passing through a point in an electric circuit.


Question 5: How long does it take for the Moon to orbit the Earth?

The Moon's complete orbit around the Earth takes approximately 27.3 days. This is called the sidereal month. The lunar phase cycle, or the time between two full moons, is about 29.5 days, which is called a synodic month.


Question 6: Which gemstone is classified as the birthstone for the month of April?

Diamonds, renowned for their durability and brilliance, are April's birthstone. They are also traditionally given as a gift on a sixtieth wedding anniversary, which is often referred to as the diamond anniversary.


Question 7: How many copies of the first Harry Potter book were printed in the first run?

The first print run of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1997 was very small, with only 500 copies printed. Of those, 300 went to libraries. By 2018, over 120 million copies of the first book had been sold worldwide.



Question 8: What is Ludwig van Beethoven's most famous symphony?

Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, also known as the 'Choral', is well known especially for its fourth movement – a setting of Friedrich Schiller’s "Ode to Joy" and it is often considered one of the crown jewels of western music. It is the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony.


Question 9: What painting is commonly known as "La Gioconda"?

"La Gioconda," which means "the jovial one," is the Italian name for the Mona Lisa. The painting, believed to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, was completed by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.


Question 10: What type of garment is 'Elephant bells'?

Elephant bells were extremely popular in the 70s. This type of pants had a very distinct wide and flared design right below the knee, often drooping over the wearer’s shoes.

Not a good day today. I misread 'elephant bells' as being 'elephant balls'. Wouldn't want a pair of them (or anything) hanging from my ears!
 
So well done Bullwinkle....LEGEND.😍

I had a bit of help from my stepson this morning….staying with me for the weekend, before he heads back to Bourke this afternoon….like you I do not get to see him as often as I would like (although he is my stepson, we have an amazing relationship, and I love him with all my heart)
