Question 1: Who wrote the famous play "Romeo and Juliet"?

Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's most renowned tragedies, believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595. The play has been adapted numerous times for stage, film, musical, and opera.


Question 2: What film won the first Academy Award for Best Picture?

"Wings," a silent film about World War I fighter pilots, won the first ever Best Picture Oscar (known at the time as "Best Production") at the first Academy Awards ceremony in 1929. It's also the only silent film to win that honor.


Question 3: In what country do children dress up as Easter Wizards instead of Easter Bunnies?

Easter witches is an old Swedish legend about witches flying to Blockula on brooms on the Thursday before Easter or on the night between the Wednesday and Thursday before, and returning on Easter!



Question 4: Who is known as the "Father of History"?

Herodotus, a Greek historian, is considered the Father of History because he was the first to write a comprehensive history of the ancient world. His most famous work is "The Histories," which documents the Greco-Persian Wars.


Question 5: Which actor played the character Wolverine in the X-Men film series?

Australian actor Hugh Jackman portrayed the iconic character Wolverine in the X-Men films from 2000 to 2017, appearing in nine movies as the mutant with adamantium claws and regenerative healing abilities. His performance helped define the character in popular culture.


Question 6: What is the most widely spoken native language in the world?

Mandarin Chinese is spoken by over a billion people worldwide, primarily in China, Taiwan, and Singapore. While English is the most widely spoken language when counting both native and non-native speakers, Mandarin Chinese has the largest number of native speakers.


Question 7: What is the term for a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean?

A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that forms in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, or the eastern North Pacific Ocean. Similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific are called cyclones, and in the Northwest Pacific, they are called typhoons.



Question 8: How many chambers does a human heart have?

The human heart consists of 4 chambers: two upper ones called atria and two lower ones known as ventricles. This structure is essential for effectively pumping blood throughout our bodies.


Question 9: If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, what will happen to the cell?

In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell than inside. This causes water to move out of the cell by osmosis, resulting in the cell shrinking.


Question 10: How does the term "cognitive dissonance" relate to human behavior?

Cognitive dissonance is a psychological concept introduced by Leon Festinger in 1957. It describes the mental stress experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values, or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values.
