Hey there, previous contest got 13 great entries. Curious Facts initiative is blooming thanks to all of you Steemians willing to write quality content but we still need some support from whales or dolphins to grow the prize pool which is 50% from post's payout.

Search in #curiousfacts to get inspired and write a post with some fact. It could be anything about our world - animals, history, your country, the human body. Just anything you've read or you know and it's a fact! Please read the rules carefully and follow them.

❗RULES❗

1️⃣ UPVOTE AND RESTEEM THIS POST

2️⃣ YOUR POST HAS TO INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE FACT AND HAS TO BE PUBLISHED WITH FIRST TAG #curiousfacts

3️⃣ COMMENT UNDER THIS POST WITH A LINK TO YOUR POST WITH SOME CURIOUS FACTS

4️⃣ THE TITLE OF YOUR POST HAS TO START WITH CURIOUS FACTS CONTEST #9 and then your own title

5️⃣ ONLY 1 ENTRY PER USER OLD AND EDITED POSTS ARE NOT ALLOWED (of course you are welcome to use the #curiousfacts tag when you like but only the first post and including the mentioned criterias above will count as an entry)

❗ALL POSTS WITH FIRST TAG #curiousfacts get a RESTEEM and my UPVOTE during the contest

❗PRIZE❗

🔝I am again giving 50% of this post's SBD after it pays out in 7 days. The 3 entries having most upvotes not as a value but as a count of people who have upvoted them will equally share the PRIZE. Please do not beg others for upvotes and play fair.

🔝 If there are posts with equal upvote count they will again split their share. So it is very possible to have more than 3 winners.

ANY SUPPORT from WHALES 🐋 or DOLPHINS 🐬 to grow the contest’s prize pool would be much appreciated.

😁 This contest idea is not only posting and winning some rewards but building a stronger community connections by presenting some valuable information to each other. Shall we learn some new facts? Let's get started posting! 😁
