How many of the NFL teams are named after animals?
14
5
27
21


The answer is between 14 and 17, depending on interpretation. So 14 is the only viable answer listed - unfortunately there is inherent ambiguity in the answers though.

how tall is a male grizzly bear standing on its hind legs?
8ft
12ft
16ft
21ft

12ft given as the right answer

But:
- Male grizzly bears reach and stand 2.44 meters 8 ft tall on their hind legs. Females are 38% smaller.
- A large male can be up to ten feet tall, but that is exceptional.
- On average, grizzly bears stand about 1 metre (3.3 ft) at the shoulder when on all fours and 2 metres (6.6 ft) on their hind legs,[5] but males often stand 2.4 metres (7.9 ft) or more on their hind legs.

Nowhere does it say anything about 12 feet. I thought Mods researched the answer before approving it!

Switzerland. What color is the flag?
red and yellow
red and white
blue and white
blue and yellow

Good question, but badly phrased, should be "What are the colors of the Swiss flag?"

How many provinces of Australia does the Murray River run through?
5
6
1
2

The Murray River forms the border between New South Wales and Victoria, ending in Lake Alexandrina, South Australia, so the correct answer should be 3 (or 0 as it doesn't actually flows through any of those three states)

OMG, what an error.

The question was about a city that was a capital city of ancient Egypt. I didn't even have to check it by google to know that it's Memphis. The thing is that correct answer was Alexandria. It is correct (it was the capital city until 641 AD), but Memphis was the first capital city of the united ancient Egypt. And it was also one of the choices, so the question had two correct answers.

What animal, besides snakes, can go for two years without food?

The answer that is "Correct" is...... WRONG

The answer supplied can only survive for, at most; 18 months (that's one year two months, ten months shy of two years).......no more.

So...yeah...again, at least 2 people decided not to do their research and simply decided that the internet is "All Knowing",while scientists and zoologists are wrong.

Today I ran into a rather ambiguous question : Which continent is largest?
1) North America
2) Europe
3) Africa
4) Asia

Africa is largest by land mass (according to Google) and Asia is largest by population (same source) very ambiguous!

I think largest commonly refers to land area. In this case Asia is clearly the largest.

Who wrote "Maitreyi"?
Mircea Eliade
Mahatma Ghandi
Dostoievski
Amita Bhose


What the hell? Listen, I know that it's written by some Romanian (after scouring Google) - but being a Romanian or Hungarian author does NOT mean the world knows (or should know) your work.

And THIS isn't "only a specific group"???

Chill out man. The system isn't perfect so don't get so frustrated. If i'd report every bad question i find i would either go mad or they'll have to quit the whole database and start working it again (i think the 2nd solution will be the best for them). I find bad questions daily since i like to hunt allot and i like to answer them. By now i rarely found a question that can't be answered using google, so i don't bother with it

*sharks and all other fishes belonging to the class Chondrichthyes lack true bone, but rather have cartilaginous skeletons*

just got this question... this should fall under the category "too mathematical" don't ya think? not only is it math based, but first you need to know laws of physics to figure out the right formula to compute the answer.

What is the line that made James Bond famous?
Hayoooo Silver!!!
My name is James, James Bond!
My name is Bond, James Bond! <-- marked as correct
Up, Up and Away!


I have no problem with the answer other than the author changed it. In none of the movies does the character say "My name is Bond, James Bond!" The line that made the character famous was simply, "Bond, James Bond" please change the answer to delete my name is then it will be correct. thanks.

Which animal lives only at the Australia ?
Bear
Pig
Coala

*KOALA* is the correct spelling.

Also it is poor English to say "lives only at the Australia", it should be "lives only in Australia"
