SDC Trivia Game #717 - 12/05/2025

Question 1: How many books are in the Catholic Old Testament?

The Catholic Old Testament contains 46 books, seven more than typically included in Protestant Bibles. This difference arises because the Catholic Church includes seven deuterocanonical books not included in the standard Hebrew Bible.


Question 2: When was the first published English dictionary released?

The first English dictionary, "A Table Alphabeticall", was compiled by Robert Cawdrey in 1604. It contained around 3000 words along with their brief definitions. Samuel Johnson's famous "A Dictionary of the English Language" was published much later in 1755.


Question 3: Who was the longest serving US President?

Franklin D. Roosevelt served as the 32nd president of the United States for over 12 years, from 1933 until his death in 1945. He was elected to four consecutive terms, making him the only US president to serve more than two terms.



Question 4: In what city is Broadway located?

Broadway is often considered the highest level of commercial theatre in the English-speaking world. Known for its musicals and plays, it refers to the theatrical performances presented in the 41 professional theatres with 500 or more seats located in the Theater District and Lincoln Center along Broadway, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.


Question 5: In Greek mythology, who is the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and crafts?

Athena is also known as the goddess of strategy, and she played a prominent role in various myths, becoming the patron of heroes like Perseus and Odysseus.


Question 6: If a baby kangaroo is called a joey, what is a baby echidna called?

Echidnas, sometimes known as spiny anteaters, are egg-laying mammals native to Australia and New Guinea. Newborn echidnas are referred to as puggles. The puggle is born hairless and spineless, and is carried around in its mother's pouch for protection until its spines develop at around 50 days old.


Question 7: Which country operates the oldest continuing parliament in the world?

The Althing was established in 930 AD as the legislature of the Icelandic Commonwealth, making it the oldest surviving parliament in the world. Its early gatherings were held at Thingvellir, a notable rift valley and a UNESCO World Heritage site.



Question 8: If you were to stand on a boat in the middle of the ocean and look at the horizon through binoculars, who is credited with inventing the first practical binoculars?

Hans Lipperhey, a Dutch spectacle-maker, is generally credited with inventing the first practical binoculars, which he called a "kijker" (looker), in 1608. His design used a convex objective lens and a concave eyepiece lens, which made distant objects appear larger and clearer.


Question 9: What was the pen name used by author Eric Blair?

Eric Blair, better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist and journalist. He is best known for his novels Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which are acclaimed for their keen political insight and condemnation of totalitarianism.


Question 10: What is the term for the boundary separating two air masses of different densities?

A front is the transition zone between two air masses of different densities. These air masses usually have different temperatures and humidity levels, which can significantly affect the weather patterns, often leading to precipitation and storms when they collide.
