The capital city of Bhutan is Thimphu. Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal, a country that is to the west of Bhutan and separated by a piece of India. It has been the historical and cultural center of Nepal throughout its history. The city is also the largest city in the Himalayan region.

Answer: Tutsi

The Tutsi people are a tribe that live near the African Great Lakes. Most are settled in Rwanda and Burundi. The Hutus or Abahutus are a closely related group. However, the two are bitter enemies and the Rwandan Genocide was a mass murder of the Tutsi tribe by the Hutu-dominated government. Lasting from April to July 1994, the genocide saw over 500,000 people dead with other sources stating up to 1,000,000. People were executed, mutilated and many Tutsi women were raped.

International pressure on the government to stop the killings led to the Arusha Accords, which discontinued the genocide.

After the genocide, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) tried many leaders of the event for genocide, war crimes, and crimes and humanity.

The first trial, of Jean-Paul Akayesu, took place in 1997. Akayesu was arrested in Zambia for over 15 counts of genocide, crimes against humanity, rape, and violating the Geneva Conventions. He was charged on nine of those counts and sentenced to a life sentence in Mali.

Answer: False

False, maybe I would actually try it if it were true. The truth is a bit less dramatic (and a lot more disgusting). Rocky Mountain Oysters are, in reality, bull testicles. It is a well-known dish in the American West and the South. Usually, they are a delicacy and found in special stores but Coors Field (home of the Colorado Rockies baseball team) has them at food booths.

Answer: Moai

The Moai are statues that are in the shape of a very long head. They are monolithic statues and were built by the Rapa Nui people, native Polynesians that live on the island. Most Moais are in the valley of Rano Raraku. They are made of tuff, basalt, trachyte, and scoria. Pumice was also used in the construction.

These statues symbolized power and were most likely the heads of kings or priests.

Answer: Richard III

The play "Richard III" is one of Shakespeare's better-known plays. It told the "story" of King Richard III. It might be great literature-wise, but history-wise, it is inaccurate. The play depicts Richard as an ugly and evil villain that murdered children to get what he wanted (refers to his nephews, King Edward V and Richard, Duke of York, who were rumored to be murdered by Richard after their disappearance).

The quote "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" was screamed by Richard at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

In the play, this depicted Richard as someone who would rather survive in battle no matter what the cost, rather than die honorably.

Answer: Avatar

"Avatar" premiered in December 2009. It is set in 2154 when all resources on Earth have been used. As a result, humans travel to the planet of Pandora in order to try to mine unobtanium, which is used as an energy source. Because the atmosphere is toxic to humans, humans must be transformed into Na'vi, the blue-colored species living on the planet. Jake is one of these humans and on Pandora, he meets a female Na'vi, named Neytiri. Eventually, Jake comes to sympathize with the Na'vi and ally with them against humans, who try to take over their planet. The movie was a huge success, with almost $2.8 billion dollars earned in the box office.

It broke the record for highest-grossing film of all time (previous holder "Titanic"). The film was also the first to earn over $2 billion dollars and won three Academy Awards.

Answer: True

Although the piano has strings, it is usually classified as a percussion instrument. This is because there are hammers inside the piano that strike the string when the keyboard is pressed. However, the Hornbostel-Sachs system of instrument classification still classifies it as a chordophone, the group that includes string instruments.

Answer: Wilhelm Roentgen

Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen was born in Rhine, Germany. He became a physicist and was working on an experiment one day when he found a strange type of wave emanating from a Crookes tube. He did more in depth research into the strange wave and decided to name it an X-ray (x meaning unknown quantity).

His discovery led to many reports and articles on the X-ray (or the Roentgen wave). Because of his work, Roentgen was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. He died in 1923. Element 111 on the Periodic Table of Elements, roentgenium, is named after him.

Answer: Jihad

The term 'jihad' is found in Hadith, the teachings of Muhammad. Its term is ambiguous but taken literally, it means 'struggling' or 'striving'. It is classified into inner (greater) and external (lesser) jihad. Inner jihad means to struggle against one's inner conscience. External jihad is further divided into "jihad by the mouth" or "jihad by the sword".

For example, converting and killing infidels respectively are examples of these divisions. In the Western culture, "jihad" is also defined as "holy war", although this meaning is controversial.

Answer: Isotope

Every element is made up of atoms. These atoms all contain the same number of protons, which define the type of element it is and give the element its atomic number. For example, carbon always has six protons. However, the number of neutrons in an element may vary. Two different carbon isotopes are carbon-12 and carbon-13.

The numbers after the isotope's names are their mass number, which is the number of protons and neutrons combined. This means that carbon-12 has six neutrons, while carbon-13 has seven. Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are the two stable isotopes of the element, meaning that they are not radioactive. Carbon-12 makes up about 98% of the carbon found on Earth, while carbon-13 makes up about 1%.

Answer: Travel

In basketball, a travel is a violation in which the ball-handler takes three or more steps without dribbling. It is a very common violation and is also known as a 'walk'. When a ball is passed to a player, that player is allowed to pivot with one foot.

He is allowed to dribble the ball but once he picks up his dribble, he can take two steps before either shooting or passing. If he takes any more steps, it is a violation and results in a turnover.

Answer: Nepal

The national flag of Nepal is most recognizable because of its distinct shape. It's the only flag that is not a quadrilateral. Instead, it is a combination of two triangular pennants. It is red with a blue outline. Inside the pennants, there is an emblem of the Moon and the Earth.

As well as the flag being the only non-quadrilateral flag, it is also the only flag to be taller than it is wide.
