[Answer] Which writer was one of the first people in the world to have a telephone installed in his home?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which writer was one of the first people in the world to have a telephone installed in his home?"



...Mark Twain was an enthusiastic early adopter of new technology, embracing the telephone almost as soon as Alexander Graham Bell introduced it. By the late 1870s, he had one of the first residential telephones installed in his Hartford, Connecticut home—long before most Americans had ever even seen one. Although he complained humorously about the line’s terrible sound quality, Twain loved gadgets, even holding several patents of his own. He was a close friend of inventor Nikola Tesla and one of the first writers to use a typewriter for his work.

[Answer] Which mammal often starves to death after losing all its teeth?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which mammal often starves to death after losing all its teeth?"



...African elephants rely on a unique tooth-replacement system in which sets of massive molars grow in from the back of the jaw and move forward as older ones wear down. Over a lifetime, an elephant typically cycles through six sets. Once the final set is worn away—usually in old age—the animal can no longer grind tough vegetation effectively. Because they cannot regrow any additional teeth, many elephants become unable to eat enough food to survive, leading to starvation. This natural limitation is one of the major factors determining an elephant’s lifespan in the wild.

[Answer] Which animal will always give birth to identical quadruplets?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which animal will always give birth to identical quadruplets?"



...Remarkably, the armadillo stands alone in the animal kingdom for producing genetically identical offspring every time it gives birth. The nine-banded armadillo is the only vertebrate that gives birth to identical quadruplets every time! A female releases a single egg that, once fertilized, splits into four embryos—each genetically identical and all sharing one placenta. This phenomenon, in which multiple embryos arise from a single fertilized egg, is known as polyembryony. How and why this rare strategy evolved remains a mystery.

[Answer] Elmore City, Oklahoma, was the inspiration for what movie?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Elmore City, Oklahoma, was the inspiration for what movie?"



...Elmore City, Oklahoma, became nationally famous in 1980 when its high school students petitioned to hold the town’s first-ever school dance, challenging a strict ban that had been in place since 1898.
