[For Seniors] Fun and Informative! Trivia and Quizzes Introduced

Caterpillars eat cabbage, but they don’t eat lettuce.

When it comes to vegetables, the age-old debate is “Are you Team Cabbage or Team Lettuce?” Which do you prefer? I’ve heard that people who cook often tend to favor cabbage because it’s useful whether you stir-fry it or simmer it.

But that fresh, crisp crunch of lettuce is irresistible too.

By the way, did you know that green caterpillars eat cabbage but not lettuce? That’s because cabbage contains a lot of sinigrin, which is a favorite of these caterpillars.

Sinigrin is very bitter… there really are some peculiar bugs out there, aren’t there?

If mold grows on food, is it safe to eat if you remove the moldy part?

The sea bream-shaped taiyaki originally had the shape of a different creature. What shape was it?

It’s hard to imagine taiyaki being in any shape other than a sea bream, isn’t it? Even for seniors who’ve eaten dozens of them, this might be a tricky question.

Here’s a hint: it’s a creature that comes in large and small sizes and is sometimes kept as a pet.

Some seniors might even have kept one in the past.

And the biggest hint is that it has a hard shell! The answer is, of course, a turtle! It was even called “kameyaki,” meaning turtle-shaped yaki.

Unfortunate Creatures Quiz 2

Thoroughly Unfortunate! Unfortunate Creatures Quiz ②

Creatures different from humans exist all over the world, and precisely because they live differently, we can’t help but feel that every one of their actions has meanings humans can’t fully grasp.

This quiz focuses on the arguably “unfortunate” aspects of some animals’ behaviors to deepen our understanding and affection for them.

Since the premise is “unfortunate,” you might predict that the more unfortunate option is often the correct answer—so we’ll ask you to consider the reasons as well.

Even though animals would presumably want to avoid pain and suffering, limited abilities can lead them to repeat certain behaviors almost as if by habit.

Through this, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of animals.

The Arctic is part of the territories of eight countries, but which country does Antarctica belong to?

The Arctic, located at the northern end of the Earth along with its surrounding regions, is considered part of the territories of eight nearby countries.

So what about its opposite, Antarctica—whose territory does it belong to? The answer is “no country’s.” Under the Antarctic Treaty, claims of national sovereignty and military use are prohibited.

Twelve countries were the first to sign the Antarctic Treaty, and the number has gradually increased since then.

Learning about the conflicts over ownership that occurred before it was determined that Antarctica belongs to no nation may also deepen our interest in peace.
