SDC Trivia Game #847 - 19/09/2025

Question 1: Who is the patron saint celebrated on Saint Patrick's Day?

Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, known for bringing Christianity to the country in the 5th century AD. He is said to have used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity, which is why shamrocks are a symbol of the holiday.


Question 2: Why did the United States enter World War I in 1917?

In early 1917, Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare, sinking several American merchant ships. This, along with the intercepted Zimmermann Telegram, led the U.S. to declare war on Germany in April 1917, joining the Allied Powers in World War I.


Question 3: In which musical would you find the song "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"?

"Don't Cry for Me Argentina" is a famous song from the musical Evita, which tells the life story of Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentine President Juan Perón. The song is sung by the character of Eva, reflecting on her life and role as Argentina's First Lady.



Question 4: In which sport would you find terms like "Double Fault" and "Grand Slam"?

"Double Fault" and "Grand Slam" are terms used in the sport of Tennis. A "Double Fault" is a player's failure at both his/her first and second attempt to serve the ball, while "Grand Slam" refers to winning the four major world tournaments in the same calendar year.


Question 5: If an object's velocity is zero, what can be concluded about its acceleration?

An object with zero velocity could either be at rest (zero acceleration) or it could be instantaneously at rest while changing direction (non-zero acceleration). For example, a ball thrown straight up has zero velocity at its peak, but it still has acceleration due to gravity.


Question 6: Where is the driest place on Earth located?

The Atacama Desert, located in Chile, is considered the driest place on Earth. Some weather stations in the Atacama have never recorded rainfall. This desert is so arid that some areas are even said to be comparable to the dry surface of Mars.


Question 7: If you were attending an Indian wedding, what color should you avoid wearing?

In Indian culture, white is traditionally associated with funerals and mourning, so it's best to avoid wearing white to an Indian wedding. Instead, bright colors like red, yellow, and green are considered auspicious and are commonly worn by wedding guests.



Question 8: Why does the moon appear to change shape throughout the month?

The Moon's appearance changes throughout the month due to its phases, which are caused by the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight reflecting off its surface varies, resulting in the different lunar phases we observe from new moon to full moon and back again each month.


Question 9: If CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are released into the atmosphere, what negative impact can they have on the environment?

CFCs are known to deplete the ozone layer, which protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs break down ozone molecules, reducing the ozone layer's ability to shield the planet.


Question 10: Why is Diwali celebrated?

Diwali is a major Hindu festival known as the "Festival of Lights," celebrated for the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It symbolizes Lord Rama's return to his kingdom Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, the demon king.
