SDC Trivia Game #734 - 29/05/2025

Question 1: Where was the famous Hollywood sign originally located?

The Hollywood sign is indeed situated in the Hollywood Hills which is a part of the Santa Monica Mountains, but its precise location is on Mount Lee. Originally created in 1923 as an advertisement for local real estate development, it read "Hollywoodland." The last four letters were removed in 1949, and the sign has since become an iconic landmark.


Question 2: Which of these is NOT one of the Five Pillars of Islam?

The Five Pillars of Islam are declaration of faith (Shahada), prayer (Salah), charity (Zakat), fasting during Ramadan (Sawm), and pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj). Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday, not part of the Five Pillars of Islam.


Question 3: Why is Abraham an important figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam?

Abraham is revered as the first Hebrew patriarch and is an important prophet in Islam. In the Bible and Quran, God made a covenant with Abraham, promising him many descendants who would inherit the land of Canaan. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are therefore called the "Abrahamic religions."



Question 4: Which ancient Greek philosopher is known for the quote "I know that I know nothing"?

This famous quote is a paradox that encapsulates Socrates' approach of questioning all assumptions in the pursuit of true knowledge. Socrates believed that the path to wisdom starts with recognizing one's own ignorance.


Question 5: If a baseball game goes into extra innings, what happens to each team's score at the start of the 10th inning?

As of the 2020 season, MLB introduced a new rule for extra innings. Starting in the 10th inning, a runner is placed on second base at the start of each half-inning. This is intended to increase the chances of a team scoring and to shorten the length of extra inning games.


Question 6: What is the national animal of Canada?

The North American beaver became the official emblem of Canada in 1975. It represents the country's history through its role in the fur trade during the colonial era.


Question 7: What technology is used in 3D printing to create objects by layering materials?

3D printing utilizes additive manufacturing technology, which creates objects by successively layering materials like plastic, metal, or ceramic based on a digital 3D model. This is in contrast to subtractive manufacturing which starts with a block of material and cuts away excess to create the final shape.



Question 8: In which year was the first successful human heart transplant performed?

The first successful human heart transplant was performed by South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard in 1967. The patient, Louis Washkansky, survived for 18 days after the surgery.


Question 9: When does the average human lose their first baby tooth?

Baby teeth, also known as deciduous or primary teeth, typically begin to fall out as children's permanent teeth begin to develop. This process starts around age 5 or 6 and continues until about age 12.


Question 10: Which company is the world's largest retailer by revenue?

With annual revenue exceeding $500 billion, Walmart is the world's largest company by revenue. Founded in 1962, the American multinational retail corporation operates a chain of hypermarkets, discount department stores, and grocery stores.
