That's usually when most people in America are sophomores.

World Champion Bobby Fischer gave up his title to Karpov by refusing to play him in 1975.

Karpov first retained his title in 1978 against Korchnoi.
While we wait for your poser:

How many Top Ten albums were released in 1975, half a century ago?

If you take the year as a whole then there can only be 10 top ten albums.

Thank you, Martin! Ten is in fact the correct answer.

Who did Anatoly Karpov defeat in 1975 to retain his title of world champion?
@Suzianne is correct. the answer to your question is: nobody
------------------------------

Anatoly Karpov was declared the winner of the 1975 World Chess Championship after Bobby Fischer forfeited his title due to a dispute over the match format. Fischer refused to defend his title against Karpov, and FIDE, the international chess federation, named Karpov the world champion by default

One on humidity! My current favourite subject with our current daily average at 85 - 95% humidity in showery Wales this month 🙄

How much fluid does an adult contribute to a home through respiration & sweat in 24 hrs?

That depends very much on temperature and humidity in the room.

Edit: for respiration alone you can consider that in lung the equilibrium concentration of vapour is present. If we consider the body being at 37°C this is about 40g water vapour per kg of air.

If we put one respiration cycle per second and about 3 l of exchanged air per cycle. With a density of 1g/l for air we have an exchange of about 246 m³ or 246 kg of exchanged air

If we are at about 99% relative humidity at 37°C outside we loose 1% of 9.84 kg or 98g water by that way.

If we are at about 1% relative humidity and 37°C we looose 99% of that or rought 9.7 kg water (and die of dehydration)

so many variables involved
it's difficult to accurately measure
then factor in the wicking of my sweats
and the index of my personal moisture pleasure

You Ponderable ….. are smarter than AI who didn’t explain half of that!

I looked PMP up and got this 🙂

AI Overview
A "personal moisture pleasure rating" isn't a standardized metric, but rather a way to describe user satisfaction with different lubricants, often seen in product reviews. Key factors for a positive rating include long-lasting, non-sticky, and smooth texture, with a "pleasure rating" being a subjective measure of how well a lubricant enhances a user's personal experience … etc, etc.

My answer is 400ml / 400g.

I think that is the best answer to a trivia question I have ever witnessed.

Here's one:

This person was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906, and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1909, but declined it every time.
