 #dailypoll 2140. 

The last halving will occur in 2140. At that point, there will be 21 million BTC in circulation and no more coins will be created. From there, miners will just earn transaction fees paid by users transacting on the blockchain.

 #dailypoll Answer: Billiard ball. 
Clue is a murder mystery game in which there are five characters (Mr. Green, Miss Peacock, Prof. Plum, Mrs. Scarlett and Dr. Orchid), six weapons (candlestick, wrench, lead pipe, rope, dagger and revolver), and nine rooms (hall, study, ballroom, billiards room, dining room, kitchen, lounge, conservatory and library. A murder was committed and your job is to find out who did it, with which weapon, and in which room.

Clue was created by a British factory worker named Anthony Pratt in 1943. He was from Birmingham, UK and studied music in his youth and played in hotels. He was used to live-action murder mystery game parties at hotels where he performed. During the war, times were tough and people could no longer attend these parties. Pratt decided he wanted to create a version of a murder mystery that people could play at home. https://cdn.zbd.gg/ugc-uploads/ec88eedb-1710737033515.jpeg

Bees have five eyes – including two large compound eyes and three simple eyes, also called ocelli. The compound eyes are located on either side of the bee's head, while the ocelli are arranged in a triangular pattern on top of the bee's head. https://cdn.zbd.gg/ugc-uploads/6453ae1a-1710653595121.jpeg 
 #dailypoll The rarest color of M&M's is brown. In 1995, the color was replaced with blue, but due to popular demand, brown was reintroduced in 2004. However, brown M&M's are still produced in smaller quantities compared to the other colors. https://cdn.zbd.gg/ugc-uploads/80c96880-1710387490423.png 
 #dailypoll   Just saying ... The world's tallest human-made structure is the 828-metre-tall (2,717 ft) Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With a "j", not with a "k". https://cdn.zbd.gg/ugc-uploads/5f586261-1710311307024.png 
 #dailypoll     For centuries the Romans used a period of eight days in civil practice (Britannica).
The ancient Etruscans developed an eight-day market week known as the nundinum around the 8th or 7th century BC. This was passed on to the Romans no later than the 6th century BC. As Rome expanded, it encountered the seven-day week and for a time attempted to include both. The popularity of the seven-day rhythm won, and the eight-day week disappeared. The cycle of seven days – named for the sun, the moon, and the five planets visible to the naked eye – was already customary in the time of Justin Martyr, who wrote of the Christians meeting on the Day of the Sun (Sunday).
Emperor Constantine eventually established the seven-day week in the Roman calendar in AD 321 (Wikipedia).
