No, actually orangutan is english spelling. The origin word is Orang Hutan.

There are two plants with that nickname, this one and Amorphophallus titanum, which by extreme coincidence I happened to come across yesterday!

just by flicking to suggestions on wikipedia, looking for something interesting that was where I ended up.. never in my life have I been on that page and suddenly, while after this quiz I went to read up on the plant in this quiz, there it was! I clicked a link in the text and huh wth this was what I was reading yesterday!

I actually tried carnivorous plant, I could picture it, atleast had a feeling the question was about the one I was picturing, and remembered it was a plant smelling of rotten flesh and I believed a big hole in the middle. Apparently there are not carnivorous, but parasitical. They look pretty carnivorous to me ;) (and definitely not like a lily, no offense)

Multiple sources claim it is, including Guinness World Records for one. Although, I understand Angkor is a Hindu site, which makes the question doubly troublesome.

Hmm... I removed Angkor Wat from the question. Angkor Wat is definitely Buddhist (but was originally built as a Hindu Temple). It may come down to the distinction between world's largest temple and world's largest temple complex.

"Supervolcano that erupted 74,000 years ago, nearly causing humans to become extinct." This is just a theory – not proven. In fact, there is a lot of evidence to the contrary.

If you would accept Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory

Basically, there appears to have been a genetic bottleneck in humans around the time the volcano erupted. It intuitively makes sense that the volcano caused it— which afaik used to be consensus. Recently however, scientists analyzing other species realized this bottleneck only appears in humans, which points away from the idea of a global environmental catastrophe.

What would be the cause of the bottleneck otherwise is ultimately unknown.

Some hypothesize that it's actually a "founder effect" or similar: this was also around the time of a wave of human expansion, so this hypothesis suggests that there was no major population loss at all; just that it seems like there was because groups of humans were more isolated from each other following the migrations.

I think "Papua" should work as a stand-in for New Guinea. It's also a name for the island which has reasonably wide currency in English, and is very prevalent in the Indonesian context particularly.

I don't think Holland should be accepted as an answer, as it is clearly wrong. That's like if the answer was Spain but someone put Asturias, or if the answer was the UK and someone put Ayrshire.

Is a tsunami not a kind of tidal wave?
interopia

Level 85
Dec 28, 2021
From Wikipedia: "Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide. For this reason, it is often referred to as a tidal wave, although this usage is not favoured by the scientific community because it might give the false impression of a causal relationship between tides and tsunamis."

In portuguese, both the indonesian rupiah and the indian rupee are called "rúpia", then I thought they had the same name in english. I've never had seen the name "rupiah" before. My first new knowledge of the day.
