    So the right answer on #12 is 50% correct, as you state yourself in text?

    A little searching finds that the surprising answer to 12 is just a theory, with little evidence to support it. "We just don't know" would be a more correct answer.

    Ace, that was the first one that made me think, "Ah, Bored Panda has proven what has eluded the scientific community." As you say, "We don't know" is the correct answer. - - I enjoy the quizzes, but the first time the wrong answer is given I just leave. It's no fun taking part in quizzes when you are marked wrong for giving the correct answer. ;o)
