Which animal is the biggest terrestrial animal?
rhinoceros
elephant
giraffe
lion

Mass? Altitude? It is not possible to know this.


Largest organisms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe African Bush Elephant, the largest living terrestrial animal.

Not impossible, my first guess would have been a blue whale, but since it isn't listed as a choice I would have gone with the elephant as the next logical choice.

Actually how big only means it's size as volume. If you ask about height it would be "how tall" etc
Btw blue whale is aquatic not terrestial animal

Another name for the Bible is?
New Testament
Good Book
God's Book
Old Testament

I feel that this question is a little ambiguous. There is the old and new testament in the bible (and, sometimes, each testament is in a separate book) and someone may be confused. However, that is just my opinion.

Thanks,
Jazaray

What year are held the Olympic games?


1916
1908
1932
1948


answer to this question was 1916, seeing as all the years were years in which the olympics were scheduled i can only think this question should have been in which year were the olympics NOT held, Answer is 1916 and they didnt go off due to WW1.

how wrong can it get lol

How many years between leap years ?
Leap years occur every fourth year (except at turn of some centuries), there are therefore normally 3 years 'between' leap years, the quiz answer accepted as correct is 4. Which is obviously an error.

How much time the moon needs to make one full rotation around its axis?
360 days
300 minutes
24 hours
Moon is not rotating around its axis

Correct answer was marked Moon is not rotating around its axis

The (Earth's) moon does rotate around its axis, but it takes exactly the same amount of time to rotate as it does to orbit the Earth. That's why we always see the same face of the moon.

This is totally and completely wrong. The star sign represented by a crab is Cancer, not Sagittarius. Sagittarius is represented by a Centaur. Please delete or fix this question.

answer umbrella, what a tottaly rediculous question

followed up by who is your fathers sister in law and answer was mother?
