It's true! When you're born, you have about 300 bones in your body. As you grow, some of these small bones fuse together, especially in your skull and spine. By the time you're an adult, you'll have 206 bones. These extra bones make babies more flexible as they grow and move!
That's right! A physicist named Percy Spencer was working with radar in the 1940s. He noticed a chocolate bar in his pocket melted when he stood near a machine that sent out microwaves. This led to the discovery of the microwave oven, an invention that changed how we cook!
That's true! The Eiffel Tower, constructed from wrought iron, reacts to temperature changes through thermal expansion and contraction. On warm summer days, it can expand and become up to 15 centimeters taller than on cold winter days. This is a normal and expected characteristic for large metal structures.
Despite their popular name, aircraft 'black boxes' (flight recorders) are actually painted a bright color, often orange. This makes them significantly easier to locate among debris after an accident, such as at the bottom of the ocean. They are extremely robust and designed to withstand high stresses like crashes, extreme temperatures, and deep water.
False! The marathon distance of 42.195 kilometers was actually standardized only in 1921 by the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF), now known as World Athletics. Before that, the distance often varied between different races and even during the early Olympic Games. The specific length of 42.195 km originates from the 1908 London Olympics, where the race was extended so the finish line would be directly in front of the royal family's box at White City Stadium.
False! QR codes (Quick Response codes) were actually invented as early as 1994 by Denso Wave, a Japanese subsidiary of Toyota. Their original purpose was to streamline the tracking of automotive components during the manufacturing process. It wasn't until much later, when smartphones became common, that QR codes gained widespread adoption for consumer use.
Test the statement →No, this is false. While the Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel are awarded in Stockholm, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway. This was Alfred Nobel's own wish, which he specified in his will.
Test the statement →The Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn won a silver medal at the Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920 when he was 72 years and 281 days old. He remains the oldest Olympic medalist ever, and an inspiring symbol of an athlete's endurance regardless of age.
Test the statement →False! While we usually see rainbows as semicircles from the ground, they are actually full circles. To see a complete, round rainbow, you need to be high up, for example, in an airplane or on a tall mountain.
Test the statement →Yes, that's true! The black-and-white, French-produced silent film 'The Artist' was awarded the Oscar for Best Picture at the 84th Academy Awards in 2012. The film, which paid homage to the silent film era, became a major critical and commercial success and was the first silent film to win this prestigious category since 'Wings' (1927), which was the very first Best Picture winner.
Test the statement →Create a room, share the code and compete with friends and family.
