Question 1: What gas is most commonly associated with the warming of Earth's atmosphere due to human activity?

Carbon dioxide is a significant greenhouse gas emitted through human activities such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels. It traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.


Question 2: Which language is the most widely spoken first language in the world?

Mandarin Chinese is spoken by more than a billion people as their first language, making it the most widely spoken first language in the world.


Question 3: The Year 2000 Problem, also known as the Y2K problem, was a widely feared computer bug. What issue raised concerns?

The Y2K problem stemmed from the practice of using two-digit representations for years in computer systems. As the year 2000 approached, there were concerns that computers would interpret it as 1900, potentially causing malfunctions and miscalculations.



Question 4: Where is the largest Oktoberfest celebration outside of Germany held?

The Brazilian city of Blumenau holds the biggest Oktoberfest celebrations outside of Germany, partly due to its significant German community. It has been held annually since the early 1980s and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.


Question 5: If you're celebrating Holi, what would you traditionally throw?

Holi, also known as the "Festival of Colors", is a Hindu festival celebrated in India and other parts of South Asia. Participants throw brightly colored powder at each other, symbolizing the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil.


Question 6: Which of these cities is known as "The Windy City"?

Chicago gained the nickname "The Windy City" in the 19th century, not because of its weather, but due to its boastful, long-winded politicians.


Question 7: Where is a shrimp's heart located?

A shrimp's heart is located in its head, just behind its eyes. It pumps blood from the head backwards through the body. Shrimp also have an open circulatory system, meaning the blood flows more freely through their bodies compared to humans.



Question 8: Which country has the maple leaf as its national emblem?

The maple leaf has been a symbol of Canada since the early 18th century and is featured prominently on the national flag. The maple tree was officially recognized as Canada's national tree in 1996.


Question 9: Black Forest cake originates from which country?

Historians believe that the beloved black forest cake originated from the Black Forest region of Germany, which is known for its abundance of cherries.


Question 10: What is the name of the fictional city where the Batman series is set?

Gotham City is the home of Batman, a superhero created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, first appearing in Detective Comics #27 in 1939. The city is known for its dark, gritty atmosphere and high crime rate, making it one of the most iconic settings in comic books.
