[Answer] Which of these U.S. presidents did not graduate from a U.S. military academy?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which of these U.S. presidents did not graduate from a U.S. military academy?"



...Many American presidents attended or graduated from U.S. military academies, most notably West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy. Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower were distinguished West Point graduates, while Jimmy Carter graduated from the Naval Academy. Herbert Hoover, however, had no military academy background at all—he earned a degree in geology from Stanford University and spent his early career as a mining engineer. His non-military academic path makes him the only correct choice among the options.

[Answer] The Ramones named their band after an alias used by which famous musician?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The Ramones named their band after an alias used by which famous musician?"



...The Ramones famously borrowed their band name from Paul McCartney, who early in his career often checked into hotels under the alias “Paul Ramon.” When the band was forming in the 1970s, they loved the sound of the pseudonym and adopted “Ramone” as a shared surname, even though none of the members were biologically related. Each member took on a Ramone moniker—Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone, and so on—helping solidify the group’s iconic punk image. Their name pays homage not to another band, but to a clever bit of Beatles history.

[Answer] Joe DiMaggio’s legendary hitting streak lasted how many consecutive games?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Joe DiMaggio’s legendary hitting streak lasted how many consecutive games?"



...Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak in 1941 is considered one of the most unbreakable records in sports history. From May 15 to July 16, he recorded at least one hit in every single game—a feat no MLB player has come close to matching since. The streak captivated the nation, even inspiring the popular song “Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio.” The run ended on July 17, 1941, when he went hitless in a game against the Cleveland Indians. Remarkably, DiMaggio started another hitting streak the very next day, which lasted for 16 games. Altogether, he hit safely in 72 out of 73 games during the two combined streaks.

[Answer] What color were NYC taxis before they were yellow?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What color were NYC taxis before they were yellow?"



...Long before yellow became the color of New York City taxis, early 20th-century cabs were painted red with green trim. These distinctive colors were used by the New York Taxicab Company, which introduced gas-powered French automobiles to the city in 1907. As more operators joined the rapidly growing industry, yellow rose to dominance—thanks largely to John Hertz, who chose the color because it was the most visible from a distance. Over time, yellow became standardized and the classic red and green color scheme faded into history.

[Answer] Which movie character famously shouted the line, “Show me the money!”?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which movie character famously shouted the line, “Show me the money!”?"



...The iconic line “Show me the money!” comes from the 1996 film Jerry Maguire, but it isn’t Jerry himself who delivers the famous shout—it’s charismatic wide receiver Rod Tidwell, played by Cuba Gooding Jr. In a memorable phone call with sports agent Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise), Tidwell demands a guarantee of commitment and financial respect, leading to the exuberant chant that became one of the most quoted lines of the decade. The scene helped Gooding earn an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and cemented the phrase in pop-culture history.
