Step 1 : Introduction to the question "How many Japanese planes took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941?"



...The attack on Pearl Harbor was carried out by a strike force of 353 Japanese aircraft, launched in two coordinated waves from six aircraft carriers stationed north of Hawaii. These planes included fighters, torpedo bombers, dive-bombers, and level bombers, all tasked with crippling the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who was the subject of the most-read English-language Wikipedia page this year?"



...Each December, Wikipedia releases its list of the year’s most-read pages, providing a clear snapshot of the people and topics that captured global attention. In a surprising result, Charlie Kirk topped the list this year, driven by sustained political coverage, social-media controversies, and a series of high-profile news cycles that kept readers returning to his page. Although Sydney Sweeney, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Donald Trump drew enormous interest throughout the year, none generated the sustained volume of traffic that ultimately propelled Charlie Kirk to the number-one spot.

[Answer] What state's capital is named for a mythical beast that returns from death?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What state's capital is named for a mythical beast that returns from death?"



...The Phoenix is a mythical bird known for rising from its ashes. Accordingly to ancient legend, the Phoenix is a bird that cyclically burns to death and is reborn from its own ashes. For this reason, the Phoenix often serves as a symbol of renewal and rebirth. The name of Phoenix, Arizona is a direct reference to this idea; Phoenix was built upon the ruins of a former civilization that had collapsed long before, apparently due to drought. The legend of the Phoenix focuses on its new life from the ashes, and served a perfect name for the new city.

[Answer] Which continent falls on all four hemispheres?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which continent falls on all four hemispheres?"



...Africa is the only continent that stretches across all four hemispheres, making it the only one crossed by both the Prime Meridian and the Equator. Its sheer size is often overlooked—Africa is larger than China, the United States, India, and Mexico combined. Because of its position straddling both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, Africa experiences a wide range of climates, many of which remain relatively stable throughout the year. As a result, unlike other continents that are known to experience different seasons throughout the year, most of the countries of Africa do not have well defined seasons.
