[Answer] Which movie holds the record for the biggest box office loss ever?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which movie holds the record for the biggest box office loss ever?"



...Disney’s "John Carter" is widely considered the biggest box office bomb of all time. With a production budget of around $263 million—before global marketing costs—the film brought in just $284 million globally, resulting in a loss of up to $250 million for the studio.

It was meant to launch a major franchise, but its underwhelming box office performance killed that dream instantly.

...Charles Darwin is well known for his theories on human evolution, but we also have the naturalist to thank for the evolution of the office chair. While working in his study, Charles Darwin modified a standard chair by adding wheels so he could quickly move between worktables covered with notes, books, and specimens. This practical, homegrown innovation allowed him to work more efficiently without repeatedly standing up, making it one of the earliest known examples of a rolling office chair used for everyday work.

[Answer] What is the only major U.S. city founded by a woman?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the only major U.S. city founded by a woman?"



...The city of Miami was founded by a woman—the only female founder of a major American city. In 1874, Julia Tuttle, who hailed from Cleveland, headed to Florida to visit her father, who lived in the area. Despite the mosquito-infested swamps, she liked what she saw. After her father died and left her his land, she purchased more acreage and then talked railroad builder Henry Flagler into extending tracks southward. In 1896 the city she had founded was incorporated; by the 1920s, it was a bustling metropolis. In 2010, a 10-foot tall statue of Julia Tuttle, the “Mother of Miami,” was erected in Bayfront Park.
