Another question was about the Kho Kho World Cup, which was held in Delhi, and India won both the men's and women's categories.

There was also a question about two cities, Anadyr in Siberia and Nome in Alaska, that are very close but have different days because of the International Date Line.

A question about turmeric asked about India's production and export status, and another was about a chess player named Gukesh Dommaraju and his achievements.
