Question 1: Who was the first known female pharaoh of ancient Egypt?

Hatshepsut was the first known female Pharaoh and one of the most successful pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Ruleing for about 20 years during the 15th century B.C., Hatshepsut was known for establishing trade relationships and for her projects of building and restoration.


Question 2: In which novel by George Orwell does "Big Brother" appear?

1984 was published in 1949. The phrase "Big Brother is watching you" has become a popular cultural reference to mass surveillance and authoritarian control.


Question 3: What percentage of the Earth's surface is covered by the ocean?

The ocean covers more than two-thirds of the Earth's surface. Despite making up such a large portion of the planet, over 80% of the ocean remains unmapped and unexplored.



Question 4: Where in the human body would you find the medulla oblongata?

The medulla oblongata is a part of the hindbrain that controls functions such as heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and reflexes like vomiting, sneezing, and coughing.


Question 5: When referring to the type of waves, what does "infrared" mean?

Infrared refers to a type of electromagnetic wave that we experience as heat. They are longer than light waves and shorter than radio waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.


Question 6: Who is considered the creator of the "Little Black Dress"?

Coco Chanel, the French fashion designer and founder of the Chanel brand, is credited with creating the iconic "Little Black Dress" in the 1920s. The simple, elegant design became a staple in women's fashion and remains popular to this day.


Question 7: When did the last ice age end?

The last ice age, also known as the Pleistocene Epoch, ended approximately 11,700 years ago. This marked the beginning of the Holocene Epoch, which is the current geological epoch.



Question 8: If you wanted a traditional dish of raw fish sliced into thin pieces, what would you order?

Sashimi is a Japanese delicacy. It is usually served with soy sauce and wasabi, and sometimes garnished with shredded daikon radish. Though similar to sushi, it's a different dish entirely as it's served without rice.


Question 9: In what sport would you use a shuttlecock?

A shuttlecock, also known as a birdie, is a high-drag projectile used in the sport of badminton. It is made of feathers or synthetic materials embedded into a rounded cork base.


Question 10: What is the only even prime number?

2 is the smallest prime number and the only even prime. All other even numbers can be divided evenly by 2, so they are composite, not prime. There are an infinite number of primes, but 2 is the only even one.
