Question 1: How does the Greek heroine Atalanta ensure that she won't marry any of her suitors?

In Greek mythology, Atalanta is a huntress and a favorite of the goddess Artemis. Renowned for her speed, she agreed to marry only if a suitor could outrun her in a footrace. However, she ensured her continued independence by outrunning all her suitors until Hippomenes used three golden apples given to him by Aphrodite to distract and outrun Atalanta.


Question 2: What was the name of the famous American bank robber who was killed in 1934?

John Dillinger was a notorious bank robber during the Great Depression era. He was shot and killed by FBI agents outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago in July 1934.


Question 3: What is the absolute value of negative five?

The absolute value of a number refers to its distance from zero on the number line without considering which direction from zero the number lies. Consequently, the absolute value of negative five is five.



Question 4: In which layer of the Earth's atmosphere do weather conditions primarily occur?

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere and extends roughly 7 miles into the sky. Almost all weather is confined to this layer, with conditions becoming more severe the closer to the troposphere's edge, or "tropopause," the weather gets.


Question 5: When was the first version of the English dictionary published?

The first version of the English dictionary was published in 1755 by lexicographer and poet Samuel Johnson and was titled A Dictionary of the English Language. It included approximately 42,773 words.


Question 6: Who painted the famous artwork "The Last Supper"?

Leonardo da Vinci painted "The Last Supper" during the end of the 15th century on the back wall of the dining hall at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. It represents the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples.


Question 7: Which language is considered the most widely spoken native language in the world?

Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world when considering native speakers, with over a billion people speaking it. While English is one of the most widely spoken languages globally, that includes a large number of people for whom English is a second language.



Question 8: Which battle marked the turning point of World War II in Europe?

The Battle of Stalingrad, fought from 1942-1943, was the largest confrontation of World War II. The decisive Soviet victory over German forces is considered a major turning point in the war on the Eastern Front.


Question 9: Who played the character of Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series?

Johnny Depp's portrayal of the eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow was praised by critics and audiences, and earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for the first film in the series, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003).


Question 10: Where on the periodic table would you find the elements classified as noble gases?

The noble gases are found in group 18, the rightmost column of the periodic table. They are called "noble" because they rarely react with other elements due to having a full outer shell of electrons. Examples include helium, neon, and argon.
