Get Answers to Questions

One of Siri’s most notable accomplishments is eliminating the friction that comes between friends when they disagree about a random fact. Besides workaday inquires like “Who starred in Groundhog Day?” or “How many teaspoons are in 10 milliliters?” or “What is a 15 percent tip on $89.45?” Siri can also delve into arcane, like “What planes are flying overhead?” “How many teeth do great white sharks have?” or even “Does Steve Wozniak have a girlfriend?”

According to Apple, Siri now boasts 20 times more facts than it did three years ago and you get these answers directly from Siri, rather than being sent to a webpage. Here are some of the major topic areas where Siri has got you covered.
