Dropped the ball on question 1, don't know why I thought brain was a good answer, I guess I was thinking it was one of those where it's just a bunch of nerve cells that don't technically constitute a brain 😅 Annoyingly, I breezed the rest, so 9/10, always a pain missing the first one haha

Got that one wrong as well, took a long time, then decided it must be heart or lungs and chose badly.

ants are very small (in case you hadn't noticed) so their surface area to volume ratio is much higher than bigger animals so they don't need to move as much air over the diffusion surface to get enough oxygen. They have spiracles along the sides of their bodies which allow them to extract oxygen from air.

Also, if you think about it for a moment you'll see that anything with an exoskeleton can't expand its chest to draw air into the lungs so will have to find another way to get oxygen.

@mckenzieFam if we worked as a team we'd be getting 10/10s every day...hey, that's an idea for QM! Team Challenges!

You know, I'd absolutely LOVE some multiplayer mode, either for teams or for head-to-head quizzes. It's the only thing that Kahoot has over on us at the moment.

Probably expensive/difficult to operate though

Can't belive I fell for the retired Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete to be the first one to develop a vaccine for polio.

Ahh good that I also thought it was the small pox vaccine guy, cos then the only one I couldn't place, was the right answer.

Challenge: A pretzel can be a Torus. Look up n-holed torus, double torus, pretzel torus, etc.

Yes, strong agree. The double torus is even nicknamed a 'pretzel'.

Question 1: well ants have little holes in their carapaces to breathe… I don’t remember hearing about ant hearts or ant brains… I guess lungs? Yay!

Then nearly every question forced me to slow down and think it through, and I still missed the donut. Tough one today!

I missed, ant, Odin (was a toss up between Stockholm and Wednesday and again I chose badly) and Toros, which I've never heard of.

I was very surprised at how low that one was, only 58% knew or guessed correctly (so more like 40) and that in a place where English (I think) is the first language for most people (99% of all users are Americans they would have us think, if you read some of the comments.. )

But not just English, all Germanic language have similar words (I just remembered, in German it is Mittwoch), and in Romance languages there is the equivalent, named after the god Mercury. And if you are from a different language group all together, surely you would know it is at least a god even if you weren't sure which.

But perhaps this is some knowledge bias.. but still.. it is not about movies you may or may not have seen, it is about days! everyone has days! Ok rant over :D

The problem is also that I'm generally too slow, there are 4 people with 7/10 on my LB and I've got the lowest score.

8/10, but technically 7/10 cause I googled on Q9.

I don't know why and I regret it.

Got 1-8 but had to consider a couple (Odin and the ants), so a bit slow, then 9 and 10 got me. I think that QM needs to reconsider Q9....

Odin and the ants sounds like either a film or the name of a band.

Weird, because Adam and the Ants is why I knew Q10.

7/10. First question killed me. They have to breathe, right? They also have to eat, but I said stomach. I always get Fleming and Salk mixed up. And, not knowing what a torus was, didn't know what was shaped like it. Went for pretzel.

I only knew what a torus is because of a meme I saw a couple of days ago discussing how many holes are in a straw 😅

Tough set. Somehow I've never heard the term torus before. Fudged that one and the vaccine question. Lucky guesses on a few others.

I did horribly, 7/10, and must still be asleep first thing this morning. Even on some I got right I did poorly--I saw the word "Iron" and was looking all over for Margaret Thatcher! That famous German chancellor. Sheesh.

I hit 9/10 today missing only the torus one, never heard of that term. Had long pause on English highwayman and ant body parts so made lucky guesses on those. All others were instant answers. Not sure I see a theme

Seeing nobody on my Friends Leaderboard with a 10 is always good motivation to slow down and think each question over a bunch, haha. First 10/10 in a while!

Why? Can’t some of us Americans have an interest in insects and OPEC, watched cooking shows, PBS shows about polio and Disney shows about highwaymen, studied Norse mythology and 19th century European history, had a dalmatian, and worked as a mathematician?
