SDC Trivia Game #840 - 12/09/2025

Question 1: Why do birds migrate?

Many bird species migrate seasonally to find abundant food sources and suitable nesting locations for breeding. Migration patterns often coincide with changes in food availability and optimal conditions for raising their young.


Question 2: When did Christian Dior debut his "New Look" collection?

Christian Dior's "New Look" collection revolutionized women's fashion after World War II. It featured a cinched waist and full skirt, creating an hourglass silhouette. It released on February 12, 1947.


Question 3: Who first proposed the theory of relativity?

Albert Einstein published his theory of special relativity in 1905 and general relativity in 1915. These theories revolutionized the way we understand space, time, and gravity.



Question 4: If you were to view the original Mona Lisa, in which country would you go to see it?

The original 'Mona Lisa', painted by Leonardo da Vinci, is displayed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Despite being created in Italy, it was brought to France by da Vinci and stayed in the possession of French kings and rulers until it eventually found its home at the Louvre.


Question 5: Why is Pompeii such a significant archeological site?

Pompeii is a remarkably well-preserved ancient Roman city. In 79 AD, the nearby volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the city in a thick layer of volcanic ash. This ash preserved the city in its state from that day, providing archeologists with a detailed snapshot of ancient Roman life.


Question 6: In what year was the World Wide Web officially launched?

The World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and was officially launched in August 1991. It significantly helped in popularizing the internet among the public and changed the way information is shared and consumed globally.


Question 7: If you are born on February 29th, which is also known as Leap Day, how often would you officially celebrate your birthday?

Leap Year, which includes the date February 29th, happens every 4 years. Therefore those born on Leap Day, February 29th, officially celebrate their birthday every 4 years. In non-leap years, they might celebrate on February 28th or March 1st.



Question 8: Why are flamingos pink in color?

Flamingos are actually born with grey feathers, which gradually turn pink in the wild because of a natural pink dye called canthaxanthin that they obtain from their diet of shrimp and algae. The more they eat foods with this dye, the pinker they become.


Question 9: Which battle marked the turning point of the American Civil War in favor of the Union?

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1-3, 1863, was a decisive Union victory that halted Confederate General Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North. It resulted in the largest number of casualties in the American Civil War and is often considered the war's turning point.


Question 10: Which property in mathematics states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum?

The Commutative Property is fundamental in arithmetic operations. This property is applicable in addition and multiplication, which essentially means 'numbers can be moved around without affecting the result'.
