Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calarogus Shark Media. Greetings trivia fans. I'm Mark Ellison and
today we're back with more trick you trivia questions designed
to make you think twice before you answer. Question one,
what is the capital of Canada? Question two? How many

(00:26):
months have twenty eight days? Question three? What are Chinese
gooseberries more commonly called in grocery stores today? Question four?
In what month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? Question five?

(00:57):
What is a camel hair brush typically made from? We'll
be right back with the answers. Welcome back, trivia fans.
Let's reveal today's answers. Question one, what is the capital
of Canada? Answer Ottawa? Many people incorrectly guests Toronto or Montreal,

(01:19):
Canada's two largest cities. Ottawa, located in Ontario along the
Ottawa River, has been Canada's capital since eighteen fifty seven,
when Queen Victoria chose it as a compromise between the
English and French populations. Question two, how many months have
twenty eight days? Answer all twelve months. This is a

(01:40):
classic trick question. While February is famous for having exactly
twenty eight days or twenty nine in a leap year,
every single month has at least twenty eight days. January
through December all contain twenty eight days and then some.
Question three. What are Chinese goosebar called today? Answer Kiwi

(02:02):
fruit or Kiwi's. The fruit is native to China, but
was renamed by New Zealand exporters in the nineteen fifties
after their national bird. The marketing rebrand was so successful
that most people don't know the fruit's original name. Question four,
When do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? Answer November. Due

(02:24):
to Russia's switch from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar
in nineteen eighteen, the October Revolution of nineteen seventeen is
now commemorated on November seventh. The revolution actually took place
on October twenty fifth in the old Russian calendar. Question five,
what is a camel hair brush made from? Answer? Squirrel

(02:45):
hair or other soft animal hair like goat or pony.
Despite the name, camel hair brushes rarely contain any actual
camel hair. The name may come from the brushes tan color,
or from an artist named Camel who invented the starfe
That concludes today's five daily trivia questions.
