Which country has the highest tissue consumption in the world?
- America
- France
- Japan
See the answer
Japan
Japan ranks first in the world in per-capita tissue consumption. You might imagine the U.S. uses more, but it actually ranks second—and Japan uses three times as much, which shows just how high tissue consumption is in Japan. From an environmental conservation standpoint, it’s important for each of us to try to use tissues more sparingly.

In Singapore, the sale, import, and manufacture of chewing gum are prohibited to keep the city clean. Medicinal gum is available, but bringing in regular gum can result in a hefty fine. Be mindful of this when traveling to Singapore.
Why do plastic bottles have bumps and indentations?
The bottoms of plastic bottles often have bumpy indentations. What do these mean? Please choose the correct reason from the options below.
- To enhance design and ease of handling
- To facilitate the smooth transfer of liquids
- To enhance structural strength
See the answer
To enhance structural strength
The bumps and indentations on the bottom of a plastic bottle are designed to increase its structural strength. This makes it more resistant to deformation from internal pressure and to external impacts, allowing it to safely hold the liquid inside. Carbonated drink bottles don’t have such indentations because the internal gas pressure keeps the bottle from deforming.
Why do so many hair salons and barbershops have Monday as their regular day off?
- Because Monday is a day with few visitors
- Because it is stipulated by the city ordinance
- Because Monday was a power outage day.
See the answer
Because Monday was a power outage day.
The reason hair salons and barbershops often close on Mondays is that Mondays used to be scheduled power-outage days. In the postwar period, due to electricity shortages, such days were instituted once a week. Because salons consume a lot of electricity for services like perms, they couldn’t operate on those days and therefore took the day off—a practice that has carried over to the present. Incidentally, in the Tokyo area, many shops are closed on Tuesdays instead.
How many times is your internal questioning—self-talk—repeated in a day?
- About 3,000 times
- about ten thousand times
- about 30,000 times
See the answer
about 30,000 times
Before taking any action, humans talk to themselves in their minds, and it’s said this happens about 30,000 times a day. We often end up associating things with unpleasant or negative thoughts, but by making our self-talk positive, it can lead to greater motivation and the willingness to take action in many areas. Try telling yourself positive things about everything!
