[Answer] Which classic song does Tom Hanks’ character play on the giant floor piano in the 1988 film Big?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which classic song does Tom Hanks’ character play on the giant floor piano in the 1988 film Big?"



...In the beloved 1988 comedy Big, Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia share one of the film’s most iconic scenes when they dance across a massive floor piano at FAO Schwarz in New York City. As their feet strike the oversized keys, they play “Heart and Soul,” a simple, catchy duet long associated with beginner pianists. The joyful moment captures the film’s central theme of childlike wonder and became one of the most memorable piano scenes in movie history. The duo practiced the routine for several months so the scene could be filmed without body doubles.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What world leader won the Nobel Peace Prize for helping end the Cold War?"



...Although U.S. President Ronald Reagan famously called for the fall of the Berlin Wall in a 1987 speech, it was Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev whose policies made it possible in 1989. As the final leader of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev introduced glasnost and perestroika, easing repression at home while reducing tensions abroad.

[Answer] Michael Jackson named his Neverland Ranch after a magical place created by which author?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Michael Jackson named his Neverland Ranch after a magical place created by which author?"



...Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch was inspired by Neverland, the fantastical world featured in Peter Pan, the classic play and novel by Scottish author J. M. Barrie. Neverland represents a place of eternal childhood, imagination, and escape from adult responsibilities—themes that deeply resonated with Jackson and influenced both the name and whimsical design of his California estate. Barrie first introduced Neverland in the early 20th century, and it has since become one of the most enduring fictional settings in children’s literature and popular culture.

[Answer] In which of these sports does the clock count up instead of down?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "In which of these sports does the clock count up instead of down?"



...The game clock in soccer operates very differently from the timing systems used in most other professional sports. Instead of counting down, the clock counts upward from the start of each half, and runs continuously. Because of this, a single referee is responsible for keeping the official time rather than relying on a visible countdown timer. Any lost time is tracked by the referee and then added at the end of each half as stoppage time, based on the referee’s judgment. Unlike many other sports, soccer also has no timeouts that allow teams to halt the clock or interrupt the flow of the game.
