Why? Because you've just told them! It's like when saying "Did you know strawberries aren't berries, but bananas are?", I didn't know if you'd already known about that factoid prior to my "question", but at the time I say it onward, I know you know it because I've just told you. Therefore, it'd be reasonable to use the past tense with "did".
Should I use "did you know" or "do you know" to introduce a fact?
