Question 1: When did the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occur?

The Chernobyl disaster was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, which was then part of the Soviet Union. It is considered the worst nuclear disaster in history both in terms of cost and casualties.


Question 2: Which legendary English outlaw is known for robbing from the rich and giving to the poor?

While there is no conclusive evidence that Robin Hood actually existed, stories about him have been popular since the 15th century. He is typically depicted as a skilled archer and swordsman.


Question 3: Who are the indigenous people native to the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, and Alaska?

The Inuit have traditionally inhabited the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, and Alaska. The term "Eskimo" was once used to refer to the Inuit, but it is now considered offensive by many and has largely fallen out of use. The Inuit have a rich cultural heritage, with a strong emphasis on hunting, fishing, and close family and community bonds.



Question 4: What is the term for a rotating column of air that forms over water and can cause significant damage when it moves onshore?

Waterspouts are similar to tornadoes but form over bodies of water. They are most common in tropical and subtropical waters. When a waterspout moves onshore, it is then classified as a tornado and can cause significant damage to coastal areas.


Question 5: When was the Mona Lisa painted by Leonardo da Vinci?

Art historians generally agree that da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa around 1503 and completed it a few years later. The famous portrait is now housed in the Louvre museum in Paris.


Question 6: How many pairs of chromosomes does a human normally have?

A typical human cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes in its nucleus. Each pair is made of one chromosome from each parent. This makes 46 total chromosomes.


Question 7: The "Hand of God" goal was scored by which footballer?

The "Hand of God" goal was scored by Diego Maradona during the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-final match between Argentina and England. Maradona's punch of the ball went unnoticed by the referee, and the goal stood, contributing to Argentina's 2-1 victory.



Question 8: How many buttons did the original Levi's blue jeans have?

The original Levi's blue jeans, patented in 1873, featured a single button in the front. Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis originally designed the jeans for durability and practicality for working-class individuals, like miners and laborers.


Question 9: The study of mushrooms and other fungi is known as what?

Mycology is a branch of biology that focuses on the study of fungi, which are a separate group of organisms from plants, animals, and bacteria. Fungi play a critical role in decomposition and nutrient cycling in ecosystems.


Question 10: Which mammal is known for having the longest gestation period?

The gestation period for an elephant is approximately 22 months, or around 95 weeks, which is the longest among all mammals. The long gestation period is due to the elephant's large size and highly developed brain at birth.
