What animal is taller, if it is standing on its hind legs?
a rat
a bear
a cat

How did this get through? All of them are taller if standing on their hind legs.
The question needs to be re-written if it is asking which of these animals is the tallest when standing on their hind legs. More specific please.

What is another name for a Pepino fruit ?
Cantalope
Papaya
Honeydew
Treemelon <----- given as correct
It is known as pepino dulce ("sweet pepino") or simply pepino; the latter is also used for similar species such as "S. mucronatum" (which actually seems to belong in the related genus Lycianthes). The pepino dulce fruit resembles a melon (Cucumis melo) in color, and its' flavor recalls a succulent mixture of honeydew and cucumber, and thus it is also sometimes called pepino melon or melon pear, but pepinos are only very distantly related to melons and pears. Another common name, "tree melon", is more often used for the Papaya (Carica papaya) and the pepino dulce plant does generally not look much like a tree.

What boxer holds the record for youngest professional debut?
Teddy Baldock
Kid Laredo
Jack Dempsey
Baby Arizmendi
Some claimed that Baby Arizmendi was 10 BUT this is hard to prove.
The Ring magazine said that Baby Arizmendi was perhaps the youngest person ever to have become a professional boxer; he turned pro at the ripe old age of 13, although some swore he was only seven when he had his first pro fight. Others have him listed as 10.
I don't think anyone knows for sure but here's another list that I have:
Len Harvey 12 years 175 days, Pro Debut January 2, 1920
Teddy Baldock 12 years 298 days. Pro debut Mrach 14, 1921
Baby Arizmendi 13 years 208 days, Pro debut March 17, 1914
Rodolfo Gonzalez 13 years 336 days, Pro debut November 17, 1959
Also, Al Diamond out of Paterson New Jersey was just 13 when he started in 1927.

Which makes the answer correct ("She never played in any movie" is false as she has played in at least two), but still not a good question in my oppinion. 1st: you have to know/research way to much about her for a 1:40/5 minute quiz. 2nd: "odd one out" questions of this type are never good questions, in my oppinion.Staff Sergeant

When was Australia discovered?
in 1540
in 1893
in 1852
in 1606<--------- given as correct
Please remove this question as it has far to much colonial and rascist overtones. Australia's "discovery" by Western 'civilisation' does not mean it did not exist beforehand. It was discovered by the people of Australia on a daily basis for thousands of years before any white men happened to spot it by mistake.
Regardless of this, there is evidence of portugese having been there as early as 1520, which precedes any of the above answers.
"The first records of European mariners sailing into 'Australian' waters occurs around 1606" seems to be the source for the answer here but even that is not definite, hence the use of 'around'.
It is an imperialist attitude to suggest that countries do not exist until white people notice them. As such this question is very offensive and should be removed.
