Question 4: What was the original name of the popular search engine Google?

Google was originally named BackRub when it was a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University in 1996.

Question 10: In which country did the tango dance originate?

The tango dance originated in the 1880s along the Río de la Plata, the natural border between Argentina and Uruguay.

Over time, the tango spread globally and became an important part of Argentina's cultural identity.
