Flying Insect Quiz
Here’s a quiz where you guess which insects can fly.
The premise itself is interesting, right? Three insects appear at a time, but there isn’t always just one correct answer, and it’s fascinating that some unexpected insects can or can’t fly.
Plus, the English names of the insects are shown, so you can learn those at the same time, which seems like great brain training.
If any unfamiliar insect names or behaviors catch your interest, it’s also recommended to look them up.
It’s a very informative quiz, isn’t it?
Which has higher nutritional value, fresh daikon or dried daikon (kiriboshi daikon)?
Kiriboshi daikon may seem like a simple processed food—basically just dried daikon—but the ways you use it in cooking are quite different from fresh daikon, right? So which one is more nutritious: kiriboshi daikon or fresh daikon? The key point is that it’s dried.
If you think about how the drying process changes its state, you might arrive at the answer.
The answer is “kiriboshi daikon.” By drying it, the water is removed and the nutrients become concentrated, so even the same amount ends up being more nutritious.
Knowing that drying also increases umami might make you even more eager to try using it.
What foods are expected to be effective for cancerous eye strain?
Blueberries are a food that may help relieve eye strain.
Eye strain occurs when the muscles around the eyes become tense.
Blueberries are rich in a pigment called anthocyanin, which supports eye movement.
The eyes contain a pigment called rhodopsin that is necessary for capturing light; when the eyes are overused, the resynthesis of rhodopsin can’t keep up, leading to eye fatigue.
The anthocyanins in blueberries help promote the resynthesis of rhodopsin and can alleviate eye fatigue.
For maintaining good health, how many grams or more of vegetables is it desirable to consume per day?
Although vegetables are strongly associated with being healthy, it can be hard to know how much you should actually eat if you’re just going about your day.
Let’s find out how much vegetable intake is recommended per day and use that to plan healthier daily meals.
First, think about how many vegetables you’re eating in your regular meals, then check the required amount.
By comparing whether you’re eating too much or too little, you’ll get a concrete picture of what you need—highly recommended.
The answer is “350 grams per day,” but that doesn’t mean anything goes as long as you hit that number.
In addition to how you reach that amount, be mindful of nutritional balance as well.
In which prefecture in Japan can you see the latest autumn foliage?
Japan is a country where you can feel temperature differences depending on the region, and natural phenomena seem to shift in particular directions as well.
Among these changing natural phenomena, let’s focus on autumn foliage: which prefecture sees the latest autumn colors? Here’s a hint: it’s a warm place where the temperature doesn’t drop easily.
If imagining “not getting colder” is tricky, you might think of places that get especially hot in summer.
The answer is Shizuoka Prefecture.
In particular, the autumn leaves at Atami Plum Garden reach their peak from late November to December, earning it the nickname “the latest autumn foliage in Japan.”
Where do cats sense temperature?
Cats, beloved by many as classic pets, are known for being sensitive to temperature changes and for roaming around in search of a comfortable spot.
Given how important comfort seems to be for them, which part of their bodies senses these temperature changes? It helps to clearly picture their faces—you might find a hint in something humans don’t have.
The answer is their whiskers: the long, sturdy hairs not only on the sides of their faces but also above their eyes, which are said to detect changes in air temperature and airflow.
Which prefecture is it where you can’t see autumn leaves?
Autumn foliage is a major seasonal event, and in Japan we tend to picture mountains across the country turning color one after another.
Even though the timing differs by region and it feels like you can see autumn leaves almost anywhere, there are actually prefectures where it’s said you can’t really see them.
Since autumn colors appear when temperatures gradually drop, you can probably guess the answer if you think about temperatures nationwide.
The answer is Okinawa Prefecture.
It’s not that you can’t see them at all, but because of the subtropical climate, it’s said they’re hardly seen there.
