I agree that some have been killed and we have weighed them, but since there is know way to get weight on random blue whales in the ocean than it really is more an approziamtion and a question that says up to how much should not be allowed. If it was say what was the heaviest a blue whale that has been killed has weighed that would be different. It is like saying up to how tall can a human grow? while we might be able to say 7 feet or something like that there is always a mutation that comes along and then someone is born 7' 1" and then 7 foot isn't the max anymore.

The first line of wikipedia for blue whales says:

The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales (called Mysticeti).[3] At up to 33 metres (108 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons)[4] or more in weight, it is the largest animal ever known to have existed.[5]

Even it says or more. so clearly it should be thrown out as a question.

It's like asking "What is the weight of an adult human" 150, 200, 225, 250
Any of those are legitimate answers (as are both higher and lower numbers) depending if you're talking about a male or female, skinny or fat, healthy or sick.

Prime number is a number that can be divided only by 1 and itself.
The answer to this question is 1, because the only even number that fits the criteria is 2 for obvious reasons. (other prime numbers: 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 13, etc)

Well of course it was Marx, and I found the answer by simply googling "Capital". Wikipedia disambiguation pages are useful

Tho to be honest I don't see why the name is translated. The book is called Das Kapital...

BTW Marx had a beautiful beard.

There was a question about the average IQ of humans. Didn't catch the exact phrasing but whatever...

Error 1: The "correct answer" was 120, which is incorrect. It's actually 100. Go see Mensa's web pages for more info.
Error 2: The question is faulty since it doesn't say who's measuring. There are countless webpages claiming to show you your IQ..

I mostly score above 155 and I assure you I'm not fit to be a member of Mensa. (Last time I checked it was around 140 to get in Mensa. That number changes all the time since the scale to measure IQ changes according to the average IQ of tested people. That only should give you an idea why the correct answer is 100...)

....

BTW they rejected my perfectly spelled and correct question about berries a while back.. Reason: over 75% of answers were wrong...

I find that quite funny since many of the QUESTIONS that actually make it to my screen are wrong...

Thank you evaluators.

What country is the Samsung headquarters based?

Hong Kong
Tokyo
South Korea <-- marked correct
Singapore

Tokyo is a city and I don't know if Hong Kong can be considered country - it's Chinese special administrative region with limited autonomy.

What don't you understand? I'm sure you know what Even numbers are. I'm sure you know what Prime numbers are. So how many numbers are both Even AND Prime. It's really an easy question.

Marx

ur prime number definiton is deficient
prime number is a natural number which has 2 different natural number divisors
and this is why 1 is not a prime number

In school I was taught that it was a number that was divisible only by 1 and itself. I guess it depends how literally you take the "and" part, as 1 is technically divisible by 1 and itself - they're just the same number.

Which pagan German epic poem was recorded by the Christians?
The Knight in the Panther Skin
The Song of the Nibelungs
Odyssey
Kalevala


The only thing I find online is Beowulf. And are we talking about religious Christians or a band Christians? Seems odd that a poem would be recorded by musicians, but it also seems off that a religious group would record a poem. It's just a very strangely worded question - with answers that don't come up on Google.

Even as in even or odd. 2,4,6,8 are all even numbers, 1,3,5,7,9 are all odd numbers. So the question is asking how many of the prime numbers are even.

As for the other question it is the right title, the question might come up better in the german title "Das Kapital" since google only likes to find state and local capitals.

Even better!
The question asked "Which of these is not a berry" and listed 4 different kinds of fruit and vegetables.
What do they teach in schools these days...?
