The Daily Mix
Six questions, six subjects, one little challenge. A new mix lands every day at midnight New York time.
What form does Harry's Patronus take?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
A stag
Harry's Patronus is a stag, the same Animagus form his father James took, which is why Harry briefly believes his father cast it across the lake.
Lily Potter's Patronus was a doe, and Snape's took the same form, the reveal that finally explains where his loyalty lay.
Kimchi, a staple of Korean cuisine, is primarily made from which fermented vegetable?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
Napa cabbage
Baechu kimchi, made from salted napa cabbage rubbed with chili, garlic and fish sauce, is the standard variety, though Korea recognizes more than 200 kinds.
Kimjang, the communal autumn kimchi-making tradition, was added to UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list in 2013.
Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world. Where is it?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
Cambodia
Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II near Siem Reap in Cambodia, first as a Hindu temple and later a Buddhist one.
The temple appears on the Cambodian national flag, one of only a handful of flags in the world to depict a building.
How many bones are in an adult human body?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
206
Adults have 206 bones. A newborn has closer to 270, but many, including those of the skull and spine, fuse together during childhood.
The hyoid bone in the neck is the only bone in the body that does not connect to any other bone.
Which guitarist is known as "Slowhand"?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
Eric Clapton
Eric Clapton got 'Slowhand' with the Yardbirds in the mid-1960s, a pun on the slow handclaps audiences gave while he changed broken strings on stage.
Clapton is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: with the Yardbirds, with Cream and as a solo artist.
What did Johannes Gutenberg invent around 1440?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
The movable-type printing press
Gutenberg combined movable metal type, oil-based ink and a screw press in Mainz, and printed his famous 42-line Bible around 1455.
Movable type had been used in China and Korea centuries earlier, but Gutenberg's system made mass printing practical in Europe.
