Obscure Trivia #25

Select the correct answer from the choices provided … if you dare.

Some questions may be in this format:

A : B :: C : ?

This is known as an analogy. It is read as “A is to B as C is to what? So, the answer to the analogy “dog : canine :: cat : ?” is “feline.” Canine has the same relationship to dog as feline has to cat.

This is a challenging quiz, but I can almost guarantee you will learn something from it.

I believe your source contradicts the answer for Average toilet usage. The link says 92 *days* not hours :)

I did the maths in my head and figured that it was between 231 hrs and 416 days.
