SDC Trivia Game #841 - 13/09/2025

Question 1: Which crop is famously known as "The Staple Food of a Third of the World's Population"?

Rice is a fundamental food in many cultural cuisines around the world, particularly in Asia. It is the agricultural commodity with the third-highest worldwide production, after sugarcane and maize.


Question 2: The famous painting 'The Scream' was created by which artist?

Edvard Munch was a Norwegian painter and printmaker, and 'The Scream' is his most famous work. This painting is also known as 'The Cry' and there are four versions of it in various media.


Question 3: When was the bald eagle declared the national emblem of the United States?

The bald eagle was chosen as the emblem of the United States of America on June 20, 1782, because of its long life, great strength, and majestic looks, and also because it was then believed to exist only on this continent.



Question 4: How many naturally occurring elements are there in the periodic table?

While there are 118 confirmed elements in the periodic table, only 94 of these occur naturally. The remaining 24 elements are artificially produced through nuclear reactions.


Question 5: In what year did the Roman Empire fall?

The fall of the Western Roman Empire is typically dated to 476 AD when the last Western Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was deposed by the Germanic leader Odoacer.


Question 6: Which part of the cell is responsible for protein synthesis?

Ribosomes read messenger RNA sequences and translate them into polypeptide chains (proteins). They are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and can be free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (forming what's known as the rough ER).


Question 7: Where is the world's largest beer festival, Oktoberfest, traditionally held?

Oktoberfest began in Munich in 1810 to celebrate the October marriage of Bavaria's Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese. The public festivities have since evolved into a worldwide phenomenon celebrated every year, with Munich's event being the largest, drawing millions of visitors annually.



Question 8: What is the term for the process by which sediments are compacted and cemented together to form solid rock?

Lithification is the process that turns loose sediment into solid sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation. Heat and pressure over a long period of time cause the individual sediment grains to compress and bind together, forming a consolidated rock.


Question 9: Which scientist is most closely associated with the Theory of Relativity?

Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity revolutionized the understanding of space, time, and gravity. The theory is divided into two parts: the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity. He introduced the famous equation E=mc^2, representing the equivalence of energy (E) and mass (m).


Question 10: What is the name of the first commercially successful gasoline-powered automobile?

The Benz Patent-Motorwagen, built in 1885 by the German inventor Carl Benz, is regarded as the first true automobile powered by an internal combustion engine. It was patented and went into production in 1886, predating other commercial vehicles.

Question 1: Which crop is famously known as "The Staple Food of a Third of the World's Population"?​

Open to dispute. Wheat is used to make flour, which in turn, is used in many foodstuffs such as bread, cakes, pastries and much more.

How about rice? A base for stir fries and fried rice?

Anyway, thankfully there were many science questions to keep me out of the loser's club!
