The story · English

The Hebrew Language Academy has provided the Hebrew term for 'amoeba,' answering a question posed in a general knowledge quiz. The correct Hebrew word for amoeba is 'chilufit'.

The quiz, published by Globes, covered a range of trivia, including the origin of the Granny Smith apple, the color of apple blossoms, the birth name of Freddie Mercury, Giorgia Meloni's government record in Italy, the naming of a new bridge between Russia and North Korea, Fahrenheit conversion, a detail from the children's book 'Hot Corn,' the difference between monofloral and polyfloral honey, the nickname of a former General Electric CEO, the number of federal states in Germany, the definition of the Eisenhower Matrix, the parents of literary characters from Erich Kästner's work, the profession of a character from the Israeli comedy series 'Neighbors Neighbors,' and the Hebrew word for hashtag.

Among the answers provided were: the Granny Smith apple variety, white-pink for apple blossoms, Farrokh Bulsara for Freddie Mercury, Giorgia Meloni's government being the longest continuous and longest-serving in Italian history since WWII, the bridge being named after Soviet officer Yakov Novichenko, 212 degrees Fahrenheit for 100 degrees Celsius, a doll carriage from 'Hot Corn,' the distinction between monofloral and polyfloral honey based on the number of flower sources, Jack Welch as the 'CEO of the Century,' sixteen federal states in Germany, the Eisenhower Matrix as a time management tool, Liora and Ludwig as the parents of characters from Erich Kästner's 'The Double Lottchen,' Ilan's profession as an insurance agent in 'Neighbors Neighbors,' and 'tag havkatza' as the Hebrew word for hashtag.

Globes also stated its commitment to fostering diverse, relevant, and respectful discourse, with automatic filtering of violent, racist, or inappropriate content.
