I mean, they are in line for the throne. It’s not THAT random.

They’re not in line for the British throne. Their father is a Prince in title only.

He revoked his right to be King after deciding he no longer wanted to be a royal.

Well, every source I can find says he's still in line for the throne?

They’re also the king’s grandchildren. They’re in line.

No, that's Prince William's children. Archie and Lillibet are Prince Harry's children and he renounced his right to the throne.

No Harry and Meghan's children are still in line for the throne. Just because Harry is no longer "a working Royal" Doesn't mean he still isn't King Charles's son. Him and Meghan are still His Royal Highness Prince Harry Duke of Sussex and Her Royal Highness Meghan Duchess of Sussex.

It would literally take an act of parliament to change the line of sucession. As it currently stands Harry is fifth in line and his children are sixth and seventh.

Nice. In Canada almost everyone knows that because most of us call them Zambonies.

I thought it was a trick question at first because as a hockey fan (we exist in America, too) it felt too obvious.

In the US too. I wouldn't know what else to call it.

I only know the term Zamboni from a Weird Al Yankovic lyric!

In “Canadian Idiot” is version of “American Idiot” by Wheatus, he tells he that Canadians “fill their mouth with Kraft Macaroni / while driving a Zamboni over Saskatchewan” !

American Idiot is Green Day, Wheatus is Teenage Dirtbag. They sound similar.

Really good score mate! Even if I hadn't messed up the last question you would have had a considerable lead over me today, kudos! 🎉

Because they got it wrong obviously.

Over 11,000, that we know of. There are probably nearly 20,000 species.

Level 66

You think 9,000 species of birds are yet to be discovered? They’re not like insects or fish where they’re hard to spot…

Level 75

There are undiscovered birds, but the bulk of those hypothetical species are birds that are known, but currently thought to be one species. For example, the barn owl (Tyto alba) might be anywhere from one to six species.

Deciding whether a group of birds is a subspecies or a full species is complicated and somewhat subjective, but as we learn more about birds, we discover reasons to split a species into multiple species more often than we discover reasons to lump multiple species into one. So the number of species will very probably grow over time.

It's good quiz material: here's something you probably never looked up, or didn't bother to remember. Test your judgment/logic.

1.1m times better than celebrity stuff skibidi

A fun fact is that paleontologists believe there are more individual birds and more bird species today than there ever were individual dinosaurs or dinosaur species. So dino birds are doing quite well! (Just not 1.1 million species well--they're not insects!)

Me too. I tried to pick the second dumbest option but it turns out Google went with the dumbest.:)

Loved the bird question. The number of species will creep yet closer to 11,000, according to one of the main taxonomies, in a day or two, when the splitters and lumpers do their annual October update. That might be why the question is in here now.

9/10 again, some very tricky ones today that I had to think about, but it was the last one that caught me out. I've vaguely heard of Waymo but not enough to have had a strong association in my head haha
