6. Which ancient wonder was located in Babylon? The Hanging Gardens. Spoiler: no one knows if they actually existed. History is basically a game of telephone.
7. Who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic? Amelia Earhart. She did it in 1932—and then vanished mysteriously. Real cliffhanger.
8. What year did the Titanic sink? 1912. And yes, they did have enough lifeboats for only half the people. Talk about a design flaw.
9. Which empire built Machu Picchu? The Inca Empire. They built it on a mountain ridge, probably just to show off.
10. What was the shortest war in history? The Anglo-Zanzibar War of 1896. It lasted 38 minutes. I take longer to decide what to order on Netflix.

11. What element does the symbol “Au” represent? Gold. It comes from the Latin word aurum—fancy way to say “shiny stuff.”
12. What is the hardest natural substance on Earth? Diamond. But don’t try to cut a wedding ring with a rock. Trust me, it doesn’t work.
13. How many moons does Mars have? Two: Phobos and Deimos. They’re basically potatoes with names.
14. What planet is the hottest in our solar system? Venus. Not Mercury. Venus has a thick atmosphere that traps heat—like a sauna from hell.
15. What is the speed of light in a vacuum? 299,792,458 meters per second. Or, as I like to call it, “too fast for my morning coffee to keep up.”
