Indeed! I actually wanted to make some others... but saw they were already done. Everything that came to mind was similar to what was done with Tile Select in the past, then I thought of this :)
Saying "A pair of dice is most likely to roll a 7..." can be interpreted reasonably as "...compared to not rolling a 7" or "...compared to any other number". It would be less ambiguous if written as EcceHomo suggested above, "7 is the most common roll with two six-sided dice" or "A pair of dice is more likely to roll a 7 than any other single number".
I don't think it's that much common knowledge. I'm sure a lot of people learnt about the solar system as children and then forgot most of what they learnt with time. But more importantly it's a sudden death quiz so many people 'die' before they reach the question itself.
Very few diagrams and images I've seen depict Neptune or Jupiter with rings. All show Saturn's rings and many show Uranus's rings. I've always thought that the Uranus rings were more so shown as a way to show the unique axis but I don't know that much about space to say how big the rings are.
Regardless, if people go just off of images (which I'd imagine many Americans do - stupid education system (speaking from experience)), then they very well may not know.
I knew but it is a pretty obscure fact if you weren't taught it.
Are you thinking of Saturn? Saturn is famous for having big visible rings, whereas Neptune's rings are too wispy to see, and I only vaguely remember hearing they exist.
I'm going to put a "sort of" on that China time-zone question. Xinjiang/East Turkestan has its own time zone, which is used for almost everything and is two hours different than the rest of the country. You've just got to know which specific things are on "China time."
Not sure if you meant this on purpose, but it turns out that the ESB is 380 metres and Hyperion is 380 feet.
Spooky…
As you may know, I am a big fan of all your quizzes, so please take this as the friendly and constructive criticism it is intended to be.
I think you should re-phrase the dice statement to:
"7 is the most common roll with two six-sided dice"
Of the 36 combinations, you are more likely to roll NOT 7 (30 combinations), than 7 (6 combinations).

More please :)
