[Answer] From the late 1920s until the early 1950s, stop signs were not red, but what color?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "From the late 1920s until the early 1950s, stop signs were not red, but what color?"

...For nearly 30 years, yellow was the standard color for stop signs. In fact, the red stop sign that we are familiar with today has only been the standard for the last 70 years. Previously, the octagonal traffic sign was yellow, somewhat smaller than the modern version, and featured the word "STOP" in black letters. Yellow was chosen for its high visibility, particularly at night, ensuring that drivers could easily see and respond to the signs. It wasn't until 1954 that the stop sign adopted the bright red color with white letters that we are familiar with today.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What country is home to the spring festival called "Holi"? "

...

Holi is a Hindu spring festival celebrated in India and Nepal, also known as the "festival of colors" or the "festival of love". The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships. It is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest. It lasts for a night and a day, starting on the evening of the Purnima (Full Moon day) falling in the Vikram Samvat Hindu Calendar month of Phalgun, which falls somewhere between the end of February and the middle of March in the Gregorian calendar.

Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with a Holika Dahan where people gather, perform religious rituals in front of the bonfire, and pray that their internal evil be destroyed the way Holika, the sister of the demon king Hiranyakashipu, was killed in the fire. The next morning is celebrated as Rangwali Holi – a free-for-all festival of colors, where people smear each other with colors and drench each other. Water guns and water-filled balloons are also used to play and color each other.

Holi is an important spring festival for Hindus, a national holiday in India, a regional holiday in Nepal and other countries. The festival of Holi caught the fascination of European traders and British colonial staff by the 17th century. Various old editions of Oxford English Dictionary mention it.

[Answer] Which animal is in the picture?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Which animal is in the picture? "

...

The European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), also known as the western roe deer, chevreuil, or simply roe deer or roe, is a species of deer. The male of the species is sometimes referred to as a roebuck. The roe deer is relatively small, reddish and grey-brown, and well-adapted to cold environments. The species is widespread in Europe, from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, from Scotland to the Caucasus, and east to northern Iran and Iraq. It is distinct from the somewhat larger Siberian roe deer.

The roe deer is a relatively small deer, with a body length of 95–146 cm (3.1–4.8 ft), a shoulder height of 65–85 cm (2.1–2.8 ft), and a weight of 15–60 kg (33–132 lb) where populations from Ural and Northern Kazakhstan are the largest on average followed by those from Transbaikal, Amur, and Primolskil regions. Bucks in good conditions develop antlers up to 20–25 cm (8–10 in) long with two or three, rarely even four, points.

When the male's antlers begin to regrow, they are covered in a thin layer of velvet-like fur which disappears later on after the hair's blood supply is lost. Males may speed up the process by rubbing their antlers on trees, so that their antlers are hard and stiff for the duels during the mating season. Unlike most cervids, roe deer begin regrowing antlers almost immediately after they are shed

[Answer] Which kind of sport involves ascending inclined ice formations?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Which kind of sport involves ascending inclined ice formations? "

...

Ice climbing is the activity of ascending inclined ice formations. Usually, ice climbing refers to roped and protected climbing of features such as icefalls, frozen waterfalls, and cliffs and rock slabs covered with ice refrozen from flows of water. For the purposes of climbing, ice can be broadly divided into two spheres, alpine ice and water ice. Alpine ice is found in a mountain environment, usually requires an approach to reach, and is often climbed in an attempt to summit a mountain. Water ice is usually found on a cliff or other outcropping beneath water flows.

Alpine ice is frozen precipitation whereas water ice is a frozen liquid flow of water. Most alpine ice is generally one component of a longer route and often less technical, having more in common with standard glacier travel, while water ice is selected largely for its technical challenge.
