1 How long did Daniel ask for he and his friends, Hanaiah, Azariah, and Mishael, to be fed pulse and water while they were kids, to prove that they could live off it?
Answer: 10 days

Daniel 1:12-16. Daniel and his friends were raised to serve in the Babylonian royal court. However, the meals they were given were unclean meat. Daniel proposed this idea to make Melzar (a royal caretaker) see if they looked healthy enough to serve in the royal court. Eventually, the unclean meat was taken away, and the four lived off pulse and water. Pulse is another way of saying "beans".

2 What were the order of the words that were written on the wall when Daniel had to read the writing on the wall in Daniel 5:26-30 in the King James Version of the Bible?
Answer: Mene Mene Tekel Peres

Daniel interprets the words as follows:
Mene: "God has numbered your kingdom and finished it.
Mene: (same as above)
Tekel: "You have been weighed in the balances and been found wanting."
Peres: "Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians" (from verse 26-28)

The Bible then goes on to say that that same night "Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans, was slain." (v. 27). The literal translation is "a mina, a mina, a shekel, a half shekel." Daniel had to interpret this cryptic message for the king.
