Got Questions? Good.
At Fifty Questions, we believe curiosity is a superpower.
In Case You Were Wondering…
What’s the fastest way to peel a boiled egg? Why does your brain replay awkward memories at 2 a.m.? How come the word “monosyllabic” isn’t monosyllabic?
These are the kinds of things we have to know. Not because they’re urgent. But because they’re itchy. They stick in your mind until you scratch at them.
At Fifty Questions, we chase those itches.
We believe that curiosity isn’t just a spark—it’s a whole fire. It lights up conversations, fuels late-night searches, and makes life way more interesting. It’s why you’re here. And it’s why we built this place.
So go ahead. Follow the question trail. Click the odd ones. Read about something you didn’t know you cared about. Around here, wondering is always welcome—and answers are just the beginning.
We Don’T Just Hand Out Answers—We Spark Understanding
Knowledge is meant to be clear, exciting, and never condescending. We break things down like a brilliant friend would—smart, simple, and always in on the joke.
How We Pick the Questions
There’s a method to the madness. (Well, sort of.)
When we choose what to explore, we ask ourselves:
- Is this something people really wonder about?
- Can we explain it clearly without oversimplifying?
- Does it have an unexpected twist or fun angle?
- Will it spark more questions—and better conversations?
Some questions are weird. Some are serious. Some seem simple, but lead us somewhere totally surprising. That’s the fun of it—and we’re here for all of it.
Meet the Questioneers
Our team isn’t made of know-it-alls. It’s made of know-more-ers.
We’re educators, researchers, journalists, and everyday people obsessed with learning. Each contributor brings their own spark—whether it’s a love of etymology, a fascination with folklore, or a knack for simplifying science.
Together, we’re here to turn your “Hmm…” into “Aha!”
