SDC Trivia Game #530 - 06/11/2024

Question 1: In the Marvel Universe, what is the name of the fictional African nation ruled by Black Panther?

Wakanda is a technologically advanced, isolationist African nation in the Marvel Universe. It is ruled by T'Challa, also known as the Black Panther, who is both the king and protector of Wakanda. The nation is known for its rich deposits of the fictional metal vibranium.


Question 2: How many players are on a baseball team's active roster?

As of the 2021 season, Major League Baseball (MLB) teams are allowed to carry 26 players on their active roster. This was increased from 25 players in 2020 to allow for more flexibility during the season.


Question 3: Where is the world's largest desert?

While most people think of hot, sandy regions when imagining deserts, Antarctica is actually the largest desert in the world. A desert is defined as an area receiving very little precipitation, and Antarctica, despite being covered in ice, receives very little snowfall each year, making it a polar desert.



Question 4: Which fashion designer is credited with inventing the "Little Black Dress"?

Coco Chanel, the renowned French fashion designer, is credited with popularizing the concept of the "Little Black Dress" in the 1920s. The simple yet elegant design became a fashion staple and remains a timeless classic to this day.


Question 5: How many colors are there in a rainbow?

The seven colors of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The mnemonic "Roy G. Biv" is often used to remember the colors and their order.


Question 6: Which animal is the national bird of New Zealand?

The kiwi, a flightless bird native to New Zealand, is the country's national symbol. There are five recognized species of kiwi, all of which are threatened to some degree due to habitat loss and introduced predators.


Question 7: Why did the United States enter World War II?

The United States officially entered World War II after the surprise attack by the Japanese on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. This attack led to the U.S. declaring war on Japan, and subsequently, Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S., bringing the country fully into the global conflict.



Question 8: Why do cars typically have a red rear fog light?

The rear fog light on a car is usually red in color and is designed to make the car more visible from behind in conditions of poor visibility such as fog, mist, or heavy rain. It is mounted lower than the regular taillights to distinguish it. Rear fog lights are required equipment in many countries.


Question 9: Why do we see lightning before we hear thunder?

Light travels much faster than sound, at about 299,792 kilometers per second, while sound only travels at about 343 meters per second. Therefore, we see the lightning before we hear the thunder, even though they occur at roughly the same time.


Question 10: When did the musical "West Side Story" first premiere on Broadway?

"West Side Story", with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, premiered on Broadway at the Winter Garden Theatre on September 26, 1957. The musical was groundbreaking for its sophisticated music, extended dance scenes, and focus on social issues.
