Venture Capitalist Aileen Lee Coins 'Unicorn' for Billion-Dollar Startups in 2013

A quiz posed by Globes includes a question about who coined the term "unicorn" in 2013 to describe startup companies valued at over one billion dollars. The answer is venture capitalist Aileen Lee. The quiz also covers a variety of other topics, such as the bamboo mat used for rolling sushi called makisu, the Rosenthal effect describing psychological expectations influencing behavior, and the broken windows theory linking minor disorder to increased crime.

Additional questions touch on subjects ranging from architecture (the rose window with stained glass), historical figures like Betty Friedan, the first wife of King David (Michal daughter of Saul), to astronomy (the Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile with the world's largest camera). The quiz also references Mark Twain’s real name, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, and the origin of his pen name from a nautical term.

Other cultural and sports-related questions include the state sport of Washington, pickleball, and the origin of coleslaw from the Dutch word "koolsla." The quiz notes that Sam Neill, who portrayed Dr. Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park films, recently passed away.
