Question 5: What philosophical movement was founded by Zeno of Citium in the 3rd century BC?

Question 7: Who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?

Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel between 1508 and 1512. It is one of the most renowned artworks of the High Renaissance. Contrary to popular belief, Michelangelo painted the ceiling while standing rather than lying on his back.



Question 8: What was the highest-grossing film worldwide in 2019?

Avengers: Endgame, the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Infinity Saga, grossed over $2.79 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of 2019 and, at the time, the highest-grossing film of all time (now second to Avatar).


Question 9: If you were using a chronometer in the 18th century, what would you most likely be doing?

A chronometer is an extremely accurate timepiece originally developed for determining longitude at sea by measuring the time relative to a fixed time at a reference location, such as the Greenwich meridian. Hence it was very significant for navigation.


Question 10: What is the main driver of the weather on Earth?

We must almost be neighbours. I’m in Mt Barker, in the glorious Hills. But having lived Salisbury Plains many moons ago I vividly recall those hot airless days. Keep cool! I’ll have an iced tea 🫖 for you at about 10.00!
