The phrase originated on propaganda posters during World War II. The phrase was created by the War Advertising Council and used on posters by the United States Office of War Information.

What famous cartoon has two mice trying to take over the world?

the correct answer should be 'Pinky and the Brain' not 'the Pinky and the Brain'
a second correct answer is also listed amongst the answers:
pinky and the brain got their start on the animaniacs,
so this answer should be removed to avoid confusion.
the show is 'Animaniacs' not 'the Animaniacs', anyway.

Quiz in adventure Mage Trials: Although India qualified for the football world cup in 1950, they refused to take part. Why ?
The accepted answer is: They wanted to play their matches barefoot

However, on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_India_national_football_team) it says: "... the popular belief that the Indian team refused to play because they were not allowed to play barefoot is not entirely true ...... it was just a story to cover up the disastrous decision of the AIFF"

Q: What is the name of the earliest known bird?

http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/diapsids/birds/archaeopteryx.html : "It has long been accepted that Archaeopteryx was a transitional form between birds and reptiles, and that it is the earliest known bird"

"Archaeopteryx" is not in the list of possible answers for this question

It might be, that some will argue that one of birds in the list is actually the first bird and not the "Archaeopteryx". But then the question must reflect this by asking something like this: "According to blablabla, what is ...."

Q: How many golf balls are there on the moon.

According to this website http://www.matthewweathers.com/year2007/golf_balls_moon.html there are 2 golf balls on the moon and not 3 as several other websites claim.

Btw the question should end with a question mark (minor detail)

According to one of the greatest authorities of the issue, the well-known Egyptian archeologist, Zahi Hawass after making some examinations on the mummy. (He was the only one who could do them, because no other scientist received the necessary permissions - by the way he was Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs at the time.)

Anyway you are right, there are other opinions, however none of those can be found among the answers, so it's not so hard to find out.

The question is valued as "Bad, incorrect question"!
According to evaluators the answer is an uninteresting lexical knowledge.

"From which country comes kiwi?"

Kiwi has at least 3 meanings:

1) a bird
2) a fruit
3) a nickname for people from New Zealand

As New Zealand is not among the answer options (and the bird is also from New Zealand) one can conclude, that the question refers to the fruit.
