Do you love great facts about science, history, mathematics, language and geography? Do you love impressing your friends with your knowledge?
Here is short sample:
Q1. Rank the following in order by how many there are on Earth: Chickens, sheep, pigs, cows, humans, goats.
Q2 Who are Liu Xiaobo and Carl von Ossietzky and what do they have in common?
The highest grossing film series of all time is Harry Potter. It has made more than 7.5 billion dollars worldwide. The rest of the top 5 are James Bond, Star Wars, Pirates of the Carribbean and Shrek.
Rice provides about one-fourth of the calories consumed by humans world - wide. A new variety of rice called Perennial rice is being developed that will grow year after year to avoid annual replanting. It will reduce erosion, increase drought resistance and cost much less over time.
In America, lists of “World’s Greatest Athletes” include names like Ruth, Thorpe, Jordan and Woods. Outside of the United States the name Don Bradman is often listed. Considered the greatest cricket player of all time, his career batting average is 99.94. Batting average in cricket is the total number of runs scored divided by times out.
The prime number 2011 is the sum of the 11 consecutive prime numbers from 157 through 211. That is a prime number of numbers added to make a prime number. The next prime numbered year that will be the sum of a prime number of consecutive numbers is 2081. Math geeks around the world rejoice!
The largest gap of time between the birth of two U.S. Presidents is 21 years 3 months, between the births of Jimmy Carter (1924) and George W. Bush (1946). In order to fill that gap, a president elected in 2012 must be between 66 and 88 years old.
A1. Most to least: Chickens, humans, cows, sheep, pigs, goats. FYI: There are more than 10 million ants for every human.
A2 Both are Nobel prize winners. Xiabo in 2010 and Ossietzky in 1936. Both could not receive their awards in person because they were being held in jail. Xiabo in China and Ossietzky in Germany.
