Additional facts included the official name of the U.S. stock market volatility index, the XIV Volatility Index, often called the fear index; the nickname "The Three Weeks" for the period of the Jewish fast days between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av; and the Gibraltar Strait connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. British artist Amy Winehouse was noted as the first British female to win five Grammy Awards.
Other trivia highlighted the capybara as the world's largest rodent, the Cameri Theater as the venue joined by the late Israeli actress and singer Shoshik Shani after her release from the Nahal troupe, and Toronto being named the world's most polluted city recently due to smoke from massive wildfires in northwest Ontario. The Pokémon game, created by Satoshi Tajiri and inspired by his childhood insect collecting hobby, was also mentioned.
Finally, the quiz revealed that Israeli singer Bar Elmeliah-Donzov's real name is Bar Elmeliah-Donzov, and his social media profile picture features Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato as her iconic character Camila Colucci from the popular teen drama "Rebelde."
