SDC Trivia Game #879 - 21/10/2025

Question 1: In Greek mythology, who was the Goddess of the rainbow and a messenger to the Gods?

Iris served as the link between humanity and the Gods. She traveled with the speed of the wind from one end of the world to the other and could even descend into the depths of the sea and the underworld.


Question 2: What meteorological phenomenon is typically characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud descending towards the ground?

Tornadoes form under certain types of thunderstorms called supercells. They can be among the most violent phenomena of all atmospheric storms we experience. The United States experiences the highest number of tornadoes in the world annually, with an average of 1,200 tornadoes.


Question 3: Where is the Leaning Tower of Pisa located?

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located in the city of Pisa, Italy. It's known for its unintended tilt, which began during its construction in the 12th century due to soft ground on one side. Despite corrective measures and stabilization efforts, the tower continues to lean.



Question 4: What do you call someone who enjoys or is skilled at solving OzWords — er, crosswords?

Cruciverbalists are people who enjoy solving crosswords! Other definitions expand this word to mean those who also create crosswords.


Question 5: If a person has trichotillomania, what do they compulsively do?

Trichotillomania is an impulse control disorder that involves the compulsive urge to pull out one's hair, leading to hair loss and distress. In some cases, individuals with trichotillomania may also engage in trichophagia, where they eat the hair they have pulled out.


Question 6: In which sport would you use a shuttlecock?

A shuttlecock, also known as a birdie, is a high-drag projectile used in the sport of badminton. It is usually made with feathers embedded into a rounded cork base.


Question 7: The ?a?r?? al-Gharbiyyah region is located in which Middle Eastern country?

The ?a?r?? al-Gharbiyyah region is situated in the western area of the West Bank and traditionally marked the end of the eastern border of Palestine. It is home to many ancient ruins including Megiddo and Beit-She'an.



Question 8: When startled, which of these animals is known to sometimes shed its tail as a defense mechanism?

The green iguana has a long, whip-like tail that can break off if grabbed by a predator. This is known as autotomy and allows the iguana to escape while the tail keeps wiggling, distracting the predator. The iguana can then regrow its tail over time.


Question 9: Why do kangaroos often appear to be boxing each other?

Kangaroos engage in this activity, also called "sparring," as a means to establish dominance and access to resources, mainly among males. The act typically involves kicking, grappling with their forearms, and standing upright "boxing" one another.


Question 10: In what year was the first modern Olympic Games held?

The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece in 1896. They were the first Olympic Games held since the ancient Olympic Games, which dated back to 776 BC. The 1896 Olympics had 241 participants from 14 nations, competing in 43 events.
