Which film is based on the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

Star Wars
Blade Runner
RoboCop
The Terminator

Fact: Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott, is a cinematic adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Although the film reworks the book’s plot and setting, it retains Dick’s central philosophical concerns—particularly the nature of humanity, empathy, and artificial life. Set in a bleak, neon-soaked future Los Angeles, the story follows Rick Deckard, a “blade runner” tasked with hunting down advanced bioengineered beings known as replicants. It is one of the most influential science-fiction films ever made.

(Solved) Which of the following toy’s distinctive smell is trademarked?

Which of the following toy’s distinctive smell is trademarked?

Play-Doh
Silly Putty
Crayola crayons
Koosh ball

Fact: The iconic Play-Doh scent is officially recognized by the United States Patent and Trademark Office as a registered trademark of the brand. But how does one trademark a smell? Well, first of all, you must describe it and send it off to the office for an official government smell test by an examiner. Hasbro formally describes the trademarked scent as a “unique scent formed through the combination of a sweet, slightly musky, vanilla-like fragrance, with slight overtones of cherry, and the natural smell of a salted, wheat-based dough.”

(Solved) Who invented the British custom of afternoon tea?

Who invented the British custom of afternoon tea?

Queen Victoria
Mary, Queen of Scots
Queen Elizabeth I
Anna, Duchess of Bedford

Fact: The tradition of afternoon tea is generally attributed to Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, in the early 19th century. During this period, it was customary for fashionable Britons to eat only two main meals a day—breakfast and a late dinner—leaving a long gap in the afternoon. To stave off hunger, the Duchess began requesting a light meal of tea, bread, butter, and cakes in her private chambers. She soon began inviting friends to join her, and the practice quickly became a popular social ritual among the British upper classes before spreading throughout the country and becoming a cultural tradition.

Correct Answer: Anna, Duchess of Bedford

(Solved) The closing line of which famous novel begins with the words, “Don’t tell anybody anything…”?

The closing line of which famous novel begins with the words, “Don’t tell anybody anything…”?

The Catcher in the Rye
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Great Gatsby
Of Mice and Men

Fact: J.D. Salinger concludes The Catcher in the Rye with Holden Caulfield’s memorable caution: “Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.” This final line encapsulates the novel’s central tension between Holden’s longing for genuine human connection and his equally powerful fear of being hurt, disappointed, or forced to grow up. It stands as one of the most memorable closing sentences in modern American literature and reinforces the novel’s enduring themes of alienation, innocence, and emotional self-protection.

Correct Answer: The Catcher in the Rye

(Solved) What country contains the point on Earth that lies farthest from the planet’s core?

What country contains the point on Earth that lies farthest from the planet’s core?

Peru
Nepal
Ecuador
China

Fact: Although Mount Everest is the tallest mountain above sea level, the point on Earth farthest from the planet’s core is actually the summit of Chimborazo, a stratovolcano in Ecuador. Because Earth bulges at the equator due to its rotation, elevations near the equator begin farther from the core than those at higher latitudes. As a result, Chimborazo’s summit—despite being about 9,000 feet shorter than Everest—extends roughly two miles farther into space than Everest does. This makes Ecuador, not Nepal, Peru, or China, the country whose territory reaches the greatest distance from Earth’s center.

Correct Answer: Ecuador
