[Answer] How old was the oldest person to ever live?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "How old was the oldest person to ever live?"



...The oldest verified person in recorded history was Jeanne Calment of France, who lived to the remarkable age of 122 years and 164 days. Born in 1875 and dying in 1997, Calment’s extraordinary lifespan is supported by extensive documentation, including official birth records, census data, and eyewitness accounts spanning more than a century. While many claims of extreme longevity have been made throughout history, none beyond Calment’s lifespan have been conclusively verified by modern demographic and scientific standards.

[Answer] Which film is based on the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which film is based on the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”"



...Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott, is a cinematic adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Although the film reworks the book’s plot and setting, it retains Dick’s central philosophical concerns—particularly the nature of humanity, empathy, and artificial life. Set in a bleak, neon-soaked future Los Angeles, the story follows Rick Deckard, a “blade runner” tasked with hunting down advanced bioengineered beings known as replicants. It is one of the most influential science-fiction films ever made.

[Answer] Which of the following toy's distinctive smell is trademarked?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which of the following toy's distinctive smell is trademarked?"



...The iconic Play-Doh scent is officially recognized by the United States Patent and Trademark Office as a registered trademark of the brand. But how does one trademark a smell? Well, first of all, you must describe it and send it off to the office for an official government smell test by an examiner. Hasbro formally describes the trademarked scent as a “unique scent formed through the combination of a sweet, slightly musky, vanilla-like fragrance, with slight overtones of cherry, and the natural smell of a salted, wheat-based dough."

[Answer] Who invented the British custom of afternoon tea?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who invented the British custom of afternoon tea?"



...The tradition of afternoon tea is generally attributed to Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, in the early 19th century. During this period, it was customary for fashionable Britons to eat only two main meals a day—breakfast and a late dinner—leaving a long gap in the afternoon. To stave off hunger, the Duchess began requesting a light meal of tea, bread, butter, and cakes in her private chambers. She soon began inviting friends to join her, and the practice quickly became a popular social ritual among the British upper classes before spreading throughout the country and becoming a cultural tradition.

[Answer] The closing line of which famous novel begins with the words, “Don’t tell anybody anything…”?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The closing line of which famous novel begins with the words, “Don’t tell anybody anything…”?"



...J.D. Salinger concludes The Catcher in the Rye with Holden Caulfield’s memorable caution: “Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.” This final line encapsulates the novel’s central tension between Holden’s longing for genuine human connection and his equally powerful fear of being hurt, disappointed, or forced to grow up. It stands as one of the most memorable closing sentences in modern American literature and reinforces the novel’s enduring themes of alienation, innocence, and emotional self-protection.
