TASK DEFINITION: In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.
PROBLEM: In a painting by this artist, a man clad in a striped orange outfit seems to be punching the midsecton of a man in a striped blue outfit in a clearing in the woods. The Football Players was created in 1908, a year after he painted some uncomfortable looking officials on a red platform with a woman clad in red and a lion. The large feline appearing in The Representatives of Foreign Powers Coming to Greet the Republic as a Sign of Peace is not unique in his work, as big cats also appear in The Repast of the Lion and Fight Between a Tiger and a Buffalo. In one of his most famous works, a large lion looks down at the titular woman, who has a pitcher and a stringed instrument. FTP, name this French painter of The Snake Charmer, The Dream, and The Sleeping Gypsy.

SOLUTION: Fine Arts

PROBLEM: The Ki Teitzel and Ki Tavo represent two of the weekly reading portions prescribed for this book. Along with the Book of Numbers this text in Chapter twenty-two commands the wearing of twisted threads known as Tzitzit, and some suggest that its primary redaction occurred during the reforms of King Josiah. Chapter two of this notes that Zamzummims, or giants, once existed among the children of Ammon, but God killed them all, and it warns the Israelites not to harm the Ammonites. Chapter Six verse four of this states, "Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our god, the Lord is one," which constitutes the Shema. Known as the Devarim in the Hebrew Bible and with a name derived from the Greek for "second law," for 10 points, name this fifth book of the Old Testament.

SOLUTION: Social Science

PROBLEM: The volume of a simplex is given by the Cayley-Menger variety of this object, and the Chio condensation is a special case of one formula used to compute them, which states that this operation commutes when an identity element is added. Hadamard put an upper bound on its value equal to n to the power of n over 2, and Sylvester's theorem about them is used to create Bayesian estimators for multivariable normal distributions. When changing coordinate systems inside an integral this operation is applied to the Jacobian, and when finding the extrema of a function, this function is applied to the Hessian. Used to show linear independence or orthogonality, this object is connected with the solution to a system of linear equations via Cramer's Rule. For 10 points, name this alternating multilinear operation applied to a matrix, which returns zero if the matrix is singular.
