Audubon.org says: "They will visit multiple flowers in a minute, lapping up three to seven calories daily. That may seem like a trivial amount, but when scaled to the size of a human, it translates to about 155,000 calories a day."
birdspot.co.uk says: "if the oft-quoted 12,000 calories a day was correct this would mean these tiny birds would need to work their way through nearly 7 bags of sugar a day!"
animals.sandiegozoo.org says: "These petite birds consume between 3.14 and 7.6 calories a day."
Nice! It was very rewarding when I figured one out, especially the chemical element and the meaning of "un trombone" since I had to experiment for those.
Do all of these really count as lateral thinking? Some definitely do, but I don't feel like some of the others fit. As examples, you just kind of have to know what a Rubik's Cube looks like, or you have to randomly guess small cartoon characters if you don't know the creator, or you have to already know the prefix xeno-... Fun quiz either way!
Here’s how you can do the above using regex: (.*29.*FEB | .*FEB.*29)
It doesn’t accept anything containing Feb 29, but it’s pretty close.
