Cashews are quite unusual - the edible seeds grow at the base of a "false fruit," generally called a cashew apple. They're in the same family as poison ivy, and the shells of the seeds have similar skin-irritating properties.

Most "nuts" aren't actually nuts. I'm pretty sure almonds, walnuts, pistachios, donuts, hex nuts, butternut squash, etc. aren't nuts.

Quiz is outdated, Ansu Fati isn’t the youngest goalscorer for Spain. Lamine Yamal is now in that position. Fun fact though, he also has African roots, but in Equatorial Guinea instead.

Feel like CFA and XOF should be accepted for the currency. Nobody calls them Francs in Guinea-Bissau - but CFA (pronounced see-fah).

Only got 11 (well that is still pretty good I think) 1 short for the badge. I did not know any of the remaining answers. I guess I could remember guinea-bissau creole for another time though.

(the others I missed were the 88 islands, the hero and the goalscorer. Ow wait and the ethnic groups)
