Which weighs more, a kilo of rice or a kilo of popcorn?
They weigh the same. A kilo is a kilo, whether it fits in a cup or fills a garbage bag. The popcorn just takes up vastly more room while doing it.
The kids who paused before answering got it. The adults who blurted rice are still living it down.
Who claimed Australia for Britain in 1770?
Captain James Cook, who charted the east coast aboard the Endeavour and claimed it for Britain at Possession Island. A cornerstone date in Australian history, and one that comes with important conversations about the 65,000 years of history that came before it.
Which car maker uses the three-pointed star?
Take a look at the badge above. It is Mercedes-Benz. The three points of the star were meant to represent dominance on land, sea and air, which is confident branding for a company that makes cars.
