    Q1 - both 8 and 10 are opposite the 2 on a clock face. 8 is diagonally opposite, 10 is directly opposite.

    True. Geometrically speaking, it depends on the axis of reflection. Using a different axis (one going through 3 and 9), 4 is also a right answer.

    Also, "Which month has 28 days?". Yes, OK, all of them, but is this a trivia quiz or a lateral thinking quiz? Not even bothering finishing it now.

    Does trivia mean that you can leave your brain on standby? When you quit so easily you will not give yourself the chance of gaining more knowledge.

    25 is wrong? The honeybees BUILD them in circles, and first when the cells dry they become hexagons. That is what I was thought anyway at uni or following practical course. 🤷‍♂️

    YES! I was looking for this comment. They BUILD it in circles. The question is worded wrong. The question should have been: What shape are honeycombs?

    12. Yes, the golden arch M is yellow. But the M in the word McDonald's in the logo is white....

    If one is standing at the south pole and facing north, turning 90 means you're still facing north :)

    Kilo of feathers is definitely heavier, because you have to deal with what you did to those poor birds.

    I like how this quiz gave up on explaining/affirming some of the answers and was just like "GREAT JOB! ☺" ...thanks?
