Question: Why are the glass panes in old cathedral windows often thicker at the bottom?

Weathering and rain thinned their upper edges over time

Glaziers cast them thicker at the base for strength

They were made uneven; the thick edge was hung downward

The glass slowly flowed downward over the centuries

The idea that glass flows downward due to gravity is a common myth; in reality, the uneven thickness is a result of historical manufacturing processes like the crown method. Glaziers would orient the thicker part of the uneven pane at the bottom for stability or aesthetic reasons.

ANSWER: 3


Question: Why are the glass panes in old cathedral windows often thicker at the bottom?

They were made uneven; the thick edge was hung downward

The glass slowly flowed downward over the centuries

Glaziers cast them thicker at the base for strength

Weathering and rain thinned their upper edges over time

The panes were intentionally made thicker at the bottom to give them extra strength and prevent sagging, a common practice in medieval glassmaking. This deliberate thickness at the base helped support the weight of the glass and the surrounding structure.

Glaziers cast them thicker at the base for strength

Weathering and rain thinned their upper edges over time

They were made uneven; the thick edge was hung downward

The glass slowly flowed downward over the centuries

The glass panes in old cathedral windows are thicker at the bottom because they were manufactured with an uneven thickness, and the thicker edge was intentionally placed at the bottom when installing the glass. This practice was common in older glassmaking techniques, where the glass wasn't perfectly uniform in thickness.

Glaziers cast them thicker at the base for strength

The glass slowly flowed downward over the centuries

Weathering and rain thinned their upper edges over time

They were made uneven; the thick edge was hung downward

The traditional explanation that glass is an extremely slow-moving liquid is a common misconception; glass is actually an amorphous solid that does not flow noticeably over centuries. The more accurate reason is that historical glassmaking produced panes with uneven thickness, and glaziers intentionally placed the thicker edge at the bottom for stability and practicality.

Question: Which parts of the human tongue can detect sweetness?

Every region of the tongue, and the palate

Only the tongue's surface, never the palate

The old "tongue map" theory suggesting specific zones for different tastes is scientifically outdated; taste receptors for all basic tastes, including sweetness, are distributed across the tongue and the palate. Modern research confirms that sweetness can be detected by receptors located throughout the oral cavity.

Question: At what age does an adult's size-adjusted daily energy burn actually begin to decline?

Here's a thinking process:

1.  **Analyze User Input:**
   - User asks a factual multiple-choice question: "At what age does an adult's size-adjusted daily energy burn actually begin to decline?"
   - Options: 1. About 63, 2. About 76, 3. About 44, 4. About 54
   - Constraints: Exactly one numbered option is correct. Keep reasoning to two sentences at most. Reply MUST end with "ANSWER: <number>". Guess if unsure, "I cannot tell" is not an option.

2.  **Identify the Core Fact:**
   - I need to recall or reason about when adult size-adjusted daily energy expenditure (total daily energy expenditure normalized for body size/composition) begins to decline.
   - This is about basal metabolic rate (BMR) or total energy expenditure trends across the lifespan.
   - Common knowledge in biogerontology/nutrition: Metabolism peaks in early adulthood (maybe 20s), then gradually declines. But the question specifies "size-adjusted daily energy burn" and asks for a specific age from the options.
   - Let's think about well-known studies. There's a famous 2021 study (Pontzer et al., "Daily energy expenditure through the human life course") that measured total energy expenditure across ages. I recall that age-related decline in daily energy expenditure begins earlier than expected, maybe around mid-40s or 60s? Let me recall accurately.
   - Actually, Pontzer's 2021 study in Science: "Daily energy expenditure through the human life course." They found that total energy expenditure per day doesn't decline linearly; it's relatively stable from 20 to 60, then declines. But the question says "size-adjusted daily energy burn." Maybe it's about basal metabolic rate or resting energy expenditure.
   - Wait, another common fact: BMR declines by about 1-2% per year after age 20, but "size-adjusted" might mean per kg lean mass or something.
   - Let's consider the options: 44, 54, 63, 76.
   - I recall a widely cited finding: metabolic rate starts declining noticeably around age 60, but some studies say mid-40s for some markers. However, there's a specific 2021 study that measured total energy expenditure in over 6,000 people from 8 days to 96 years. They found that EE per day declines starting at age 60, but the question might refer to a different metric.
   - Wait, maybe it's about the decline in basal metabolic rate adjusted for body composition. Some sources say BMR starts declining at age 20, but "size-adjusted" might mean something else.
   - Let's think about the exact phrasing: "adult's size-adjusted daily energy burn actually begin to decline." This sounds like a specific question from a quiz or study. I'll try to deduce the most likely answer based on common scientific consensus in recent years.
   - Pontzer 2021: Total daily energy expenditure (TEE) is highest in infancy, declines in infancy/childhood, then is stable from age 20 to 60, then declines after 60. But "size-adjusted" might mean per unit lean mass or BMI-adjusted.
   - Another angle: Maybe it's about the fact that metabolic rate per kg lean body mass declines starting at age 40 or so? Or maybe it's a trick question from a specific article.
   - Let's search my training data mentally: There's a known fact that "daily energy expenditure begins to decline at about age 60" but that's not an option exactly (63 is close). Options are 44, 54, 63, 76.
   - Wait, I recall a study or headline: "Your metabolism starts declining at age 60" but another says "actually begins to decline at age 44" or something. Let me think carefully.
   - Actually, there was a 2021 study that got a lot of media coverage: "Study finds metabolism doesn't slow down until age 60." But the options include 63.
   - Maybe the question refers to "size-adjusted daily energy burn" meaning resting metabolic rate normalized to lean body mass. Some gerontology texts say BMR declines about 1% per year after age 20, but the noticeable decline in total daily energy expenditure might be later.
   - Let's consider the possibility that this is a specific question from a known dataset or quiz. Without external search, I need to rely on my internal knowledge.
   - I'll reason: In many physiology contexts, basal metabolic rate starts declining in the 40s or 50s due to loss of lean mass. But "size-adjusted" might mean they controlled for body size/composition, so the intrinsic decline might be later.
   - Pontzer's study: "Daily energy expenditure through the human life course" - I remember the key finding: TEE is invariant from age 20 to 60, then declines. So the decline begins at about 60. Option 1 is "About 63". That's very close.
   - Another study might say 44 or 54. But 63 seems the most plausible if it's referencing that major 2021 study.
   - Let me double-check the exact Pontzer finding: They analyzed 6,421 people, ages 8 days to 96 years. They found that TEE adjusted for body size declines after
