When did Chuck Berry write "Johnny B Goode"?
1968
1958 <-- Marked as correct
1948
1978

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_B._Goode the song was written in 1955 and recorded in 1958. So the answer should be 1955 or the question should be when was it recorded.

And it's obviously wrong as well, must be the CD's Red Lantern Corps

More seriously though, not only is it to specific, there is no context. What is DC's Green Lantern Corps? does it have something to do with Washington DC?

Edit: Fixed a typo

The correct answer to what I think the question means is Panzerkampfwagen IV, that was the most numerous German tank during WWII, Tiger was merely the heaviest/strongest. Or did I completely misunderstand the question.

Not wrong per se, but not the only one, Denmark also have land borders with only one other country. To be correct the question should be "Which of these European countries ..."

Also, there is no consistency in the answers - you have Country / Country, Continent / Continent and Country / State.

How long is a chameleon's tongue in relation to it's body?
About the same length
twice as long <-- right
half as long
5 times as long

the tongue can reach up to 1 ½ times the lizard's body length.

A chameleon's tongue can extend the length of its entire body, or even longer.

twice the length of the chameleon's own body.

A chameleon's tongue is twice the length of its body.

Because a chameleon's tongue is usually twice as long as its body length,

The tongue, often as long as the body and head of the lizard,

These are all quotes from different websites and as you can see, there is a little inconsistency.


Which of the following is NOT cold blooded?
Octopus
Atlantic Bluefin Tuna <-- right
Giant Squid
Moray Eel

It's a pain to have to google each one and then read for something that isn't normally mentioned. If it had broadened the answers, it would be better, but Moray Eels, Atlantic Bluefin?

To me, that doesn't sound like they're warm blooded anyway, but they do have some similar adaptions.

Making January 15th the far more accurate day.

When was Australia discovered?
in 1852
in 1540
in 1893
in 1638


After discovery by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales, formally founded on 7 February 1788[11] (although formal possession of the land had occurred on 26 January 1788). The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing Crown Colonies were established.

So how about e) None of the Above.

Where was the round brimless red hat called a "Fez" created?
Alexandria in northern Egypt.
In the Moroccan city of the same name.
In Bombay India as part of a military uniform.
In the Turkish city of Bursa.


The fez was adopted in 1826 as the universal male headgear in the Ottoman Empire as part of the modernizing reforms of Sultan Mahmud II. Prior to this date, it was worn sporadically in the Maghreb (Northwest Africa) by some units of the Ottoman navy, and by the inhabitants of some Greek islands.
Initially a symbol of Ottoman modernity, the fez soon came to be seen as part of an "Oriental" cultural identity. In Turkey, wearing the fez was legally banned in 1925 as part of the modernizing reforms of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. The origin of the name is controversial. Some scholars have argued that it originates from Ancient[2] or Byzantine Greece. However, the derivation of the name from Byzantine Greek iskefe (meaning cool) [3] does not hold water. The Turkish word "fes" may refer to the city of Fez in Morocco, or to the name of the crimson berry, which was imported from that country and was used to dye the felt.[2]

How do any of the answers given match the information commonly available?
