trivia question answer Who was the first cricketer to hit six sixes in one six ball over? Has the feat ever been achieved in a Test match?
    As the link above shows, at this time it has not been done in a Test match. Three players have managed it in an international T20 match, and one in an ODI (international 50-over a side) match - although this was a player for the USA against Papua New Guinea, so hardly the elite of the sport!

trivia question answer Which professions need to use great circles to perform their duties?
    Great circles are the shortest paths between two points on a sphere, like Earth. They're essential in professions that deal with long-distance travel or global planning. Pilots and ship captains use them to chart efficient routes. Satellite engineers rely on them for orbital paths. Mapmakers and GIS analysts use them to calculate accurate distances. And telecom planners follow great circles when laying undersea cables to reduce cost and signal delay. Even military strategists use them for missile trajectories and surveillance planning. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_navigation (Kalibre)

trivia question answer Are nuclear 'fusion' and nuclear 'fission' the same thing? Is one safer (to humans, the environment, etc.) than the other?
    Nuclear fission splits heavy atoms like uranium to release energy. It's used in today's power plants but creates long-lasting radioactive waste and carries meltdown risks. Nuclear fusion joins light atoms like hydrogen to produce even more energy. It's what powers the Sun and stars. Fusion is much cleaner, safer, and doesn't produce dangerous waste, but it's still experimental and not yet ready for everyday use. Bottom line: Fission is practical but risky. Fusion is promising and safe, but still futuristic. https://www.iaea.org/topics/energy/fusion/faqs (Kalibre)

trivia question answer What is the difference between Cyrillic script and Glagolitic script?
    The Glagolitic and Cyrillic scripts both played crucial roles in the development of Slavic literacy, but they differ significantly in origin, appearance, and legacy. Glagolitic was the earliest Slavic script, created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius to translate religious texts into Old Church Slavonic. It was designed to suit the unique sounds of Slavic languages and had a distinctive, ornate appearance, with characters that looked quite unlike Greek or Latin letters. Cyrillic, by contrast, was developed shortly afterwards by their disciples, likely in Bulgaria, as a more practical and accessible alternative. It borrowed heavily from the Greek alphabet, making it easier to learn and adapt for administrative and secular use. Visually, Cyrillic is more structured and familiar, resembling modern alphabets used today. While Glagolitic remained in use primarily for religious purposes, especially in Croatian liturgical texts, it gradually faded from everyday use. Cyrillic, however, spread widely and became the dominant writing system across Eastern Europe. Today, it remains a living script used in many modern languages, including Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Ukrainian. Glagolitic survives mainly as a historical and cultural artefact, while Cyrillic continues to evolve and thrive. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Glagolitic-alphabet https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cyrillic-alphabet (Kalibre)
