cute lil idea
Managed 20/25 on my first attempt, think I'd have gotten a couple more if I wasn't focusing on speed haha
Btw, there's a spelling mistake in the second to last question.
either way, still a fun and thought-evoking quiz, so props to the Feature :)
78% of Americans (about 245,687,577 people) speak only English. That number gets much higher if including people who speak it as a second language.
While there doesn't appear to be an exact number of Americans who speak Latvian, there are about 86,000 Americans with Latvian descent. That's less than a tenth of a percent.
Only 5 of the approximately 6,640 species of mammals lay eggs, the platypus and four species of echidna, again less than a tenth of a percent.
4 of 45 US presidents (Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy) have been assassinated, about 9%.
1,635 of the 2,224 Titanic passengers died, about 74%
There are 193 countries in the UN. JetPunk recognizes 196, meaning 98% of countries are in the UN. Whle there are differing amounts of recognized countries, there would have to be 386 of them for UN members to not be a majority, and almost nobody consideres it to be that many.
(continued)
123 of 196 countries have more than 5 million people, about 63%
75 of 118 elements are metals, about 64%
Almost 100% of humans have opposable thumbs, as it's just part of human anatomy. The very few people who are amputees or have birth defects barely affect that.
Only 7 of the 58 UK Prime Ministers have been Labour Party, about 12%
Not sure the exact number of bones in a giraffe's neck, but it does NOT have more bones than other animals, just longer ones, so definitely not more than half.
142 of the 206 Olympics-recognized countries have won an Olympic medal, about 69%
Asia has 4.7 billion people, about 60% of the world's population
Not sure the exact numbers, but according to Wikipedia "most spiders" do not have harmful bites
Only 1 of 7 ancient wonders (Great Pyramid of Giza) is still standing, about 14%
(continued)
Muhammad Ali won 56 of his 61 fights, about 92%
There are about 2 billion Muslims, about 26% of the world's population
Not sure the exact counts but penguins are almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, the only exception being the Galapagos, clearly more than half
Only about 60 of the 11,000 species of birds are flightless, about half a percent
About 79% of Malaysia's population is in the peninsular part. While some of that is on minor islands, it's still definitely more than half
Not sure on exact counts but most of Australia's major cities are in the east.
Only 25% of Russia's population lives in Siberia, and that constitutes more than the eastern half of Russia.
(and for the rest of the world)
So many US-Americans think that the USA is the only Country on the continent of America.
I was wrong on that one too. How many people in Venezuela or Colombia or Brazil speak English as a second language? Could it still be that most Americans (people living on the continent) speak English? Does anyone here have a statistic?

I think it would be more interesting if there were a third option of none
