Question 1:
What nautical term is used to refer to the right side of a ship, when facing the front?
The word comes from Old English words—stéor (meaning "steer") and bord (meaning "side of a boat"). Sailors use it instead of "right", because it always refers to the same side of the vessel, regardless of what direction they are facing.
Question 2:
According to Greek myth, the Minotaur was a legendary creature who dwelt in the Labyrinth located on this island.
According to the legend, the Minotaur was slain by the Greek hero Theseus.
Question 3:
What band was playing at a July 2025 concert in Massachusetts when the "kiss cam" caught a tech CEO embracing his Head of HR, although both were married to other people.
After they were caught on camera, Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot frantically tried to hide their faces, leading the band's frontman Chris Martin to remark, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy". Both would resign from their positions at Astronomer shortly after the incident.
Question 4:
In 2013, Microsoft acquired the mobile phone division of this company in order to bolster their Windows Phone platform.
The acquisition was a notorious flop as market share of Windows Phone decreased precipitously. Within two years, Microsoft took a $7.8 billion write-down and laid-off 7,800 employees. The company eventually abandoned its mobile business.
Question 5:
In 1859, an American farmer shot a British pig, leading to a 12-year long standoff known as the "Pig War". The conflict took place near the Canadian border in what is now this U.S. state.
The primary dispute was over control of the San Juan Islands, in the Pacific Northwest. Despite posturing on both sides, no one was killed or injured in the war (except for the pig). Eventually, Wilhelm I of Germany was chosen as arbitrator, and the U.S. was awarded control of the island group.
