10/10, but that train guess was random and took me forever 😂. I just hoped a high speed train in France would have velo in it or something.

When Leonhard Euler, one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, was still a schoolboy, his teacher asked his class to add up all the numbers from 1 to 100. His teacher expected this to keep the class busy all morning; Euler, however, produced the correct result in a few minutes by recognizing that the numbers one through 100 are 50 pairs of numbers (1+ 100, 2 + 99, and so forth) each of which added up to . . . but I'll let you figure out the rest for yourself with the thought that you may have been outsmarted by a child. Which shouldn't bother you in this case.

I chose Daytona. A) I didn’t know it’s a place rather than, say, the name of the event sponsor and B) even if I had known it’s a place, it could be in Georgia.

Wasn't NASCAR like the #2 sport in the states behind the NFL from the late 90s into the mid 2000s. I'm not from the states and just assumed the race was more well known.

There is often confusion about whether Steamboat Willie or Plane Crazy was the first Mickey Mouse cartoon. According to Wikipedia, the silent version of Plane Crazy was released before Steamboat Willie.

9/10 for me today, the Homo sapiens one caught me out. In hindsight I probably should have gone for the only African country there, but Morocco didn't feel right so I hedges and went with Germany because I knew we discovered Neanderthals there.

Hesitated for a little on the Jordan River one as well but got that one right at least haha

“The cartoon, released by the Walt Disney Studios, is the first finished project to feature appearances of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, and was originally a silent film. It was given a test screening to a theater audience and potential distributors on May 15, 1928. An executive from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer saw the film, but the film failed to pick up a distributor. Later that year, Disney released Mickey's first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, which was an enormous success.”

The wording of the question could be better, as Plane Crazy absolutely predated Steamboat Willie. Maybe first “distributed?”

I came here to say this. Plane Crazy is famously older than Steamboat Willie. I thought this was a trick question because everyone thinks Steamboat Willie was first, but it was made after Plane Crazy.

Has anyone had a problem with ads on here the last few days? My pop-up blocker is going crazy every time I open a new page, and I still get interrupted nearly every quiz with a new tab opening for the ad, which is frustrating in general but also really hurts my scores for the sprint quizzes

for more info on Christiaan Barnard, read The Organ Thieves! It tells the true story of the first heart transplant in the segregated south of the USA, and he is mentioned in it (I think he shadowed a few of the doctors, then brought the ideas back to south africa for the transplant, while the americans were discussing suitability for patients or smth)

As mentioned above, Plane Crazy was made before Steamboat Willie, in early 1928. It was the first cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse, and based off of what they thought of it they went on to make Steamboat Willie with a soundtrack and released it in 1928. They then added a soundtrack to Plane Crazy and released it in 1929. The question didn't ask which was the first released, just which was the first, so that would be Plane Crazy.

Didn't expect to be 1st of my leader board, after thinking forever on the last question.

Question 2 and 3 were educated guesses.

Saw Germany, thought Neanderthal, clicked without thinking it through..

And VERY surprised that for 6 the second most guessed answer is 1100 and not 5000, I actually would not have been surprised if 5000 was the most guessed. Very unexpected percentages to me.

Is 1100 "logical" in any way? I can't see why so many where drawn to it.

Intuitively it would obviously be somewhere around 5000, since 1+100 divided by 2 is about 50, and the rest of the averages are too, 2+99 and 3+98 and son on. So about a hundred times 50 (50.5 to be exact of course hence 5050 is the correct answer, but these quizzes are at speed, so you think roughly at first)
