Lemony Snicket first met the Baudelaire children on Briny Beach, where they were spending the day before learning of the tragic death of their parents in a fire that destroyed their home.

Question 5: In which year did the construction of the Great Wall of China begin?

The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number. For example, 4 × 4 = 16, so a square root of 16 is 4. Since 16 x 16 = 256, the square root of 256 is 16.



Question 8: In which language would you find the term "Schadenfreude"?

Schadenfreude' is a German term that describes the feeling of pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune. The word is a compound of 'Schaden' meaning harm or damage, and 'Freude' meaning joy. There is no direct equivalent in English, which is why the German term is often used.

The durian is a tropical fruit known for its large size, strong odor, and thorn-covered rind. It is native to Southeast Asia and is sometimes referred to as the "king of fruits" due to its unique appearance and flavor.

LS wrote "A series of unfortunate events" books which featured the Baudelaire children.
Made into a TV series. It starts off with an opening line - if you like books with a happy ending don't read this book!
