so QEII died in Sept 2022 - so the question should be more specific because yes until she died she was the longest serving monach however, when she died king salman became the longest serving monach - so maybe the question should have contained the longest serving monach dead or alive. I always tend to go for the living. Also I believe the wheel was actually invented way before 3500BC, yes I went and looked after getting it wrong I always do as I like to learn here is what I found :The ancient Mesopotamian people are widely believed to have invented the wheel around 4200--4000 BC.

If there was an American version of the SDC's Trivia, would it include Australian questions? Probably not.

Q 1 - What two native animals are on the Australian Coat Of Arms?

A. Peregrine Falcon and American Pit Bull
B. Rhode Island Red Chicken and Maine Coon Cat
C. Emu and Kangaroo
D. Flightless Kiwi and Paua Sea Snail

Can see most, if not all Yanks getting this wrong!

I don't think they even know the difference between a kangaroo and emu

 

[Sheriella]

again today only 40%

 

[magpie1]

It was a tricky question because it said 2022 and current and I don't think the others are even in the running I think after the Queen it's the Sultan of Brunei. I could be wrong but I think that's what I read when she died and he isn't on the list, that was the only reason I answered the Queen because technically at the end of 2022 it was the Sultan

Obviously the question was written back in 2022 when the Queen was still alive. Tricky eh ?

 

[Jackib]

Back to 6/10

 

[magpie1]

I'm just glad that I'm not being asked all of these questions in order to win $1Million....damn 4 AGAIN.

One is edible, one isn't I'll leave it to you!!!!!

 

[DLHM]

Do you mean that one tastes good and the other doesn’t? They’re both edible.

I watch Hot Seat with a passion for the questions, not Eddie McChins. After hundreds of attempts, I still can't crack 15 out of 15 but I've had numerous 14s in the Fastest Finger segment.

About 20 years ago, I applied, along with my then wife, for the first couples edition of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Got down to the last 100 candidates when I had a phone audition without warning. Pissed as, I stuffed up and didn't make it. Typically, on the Couples night, the $250000 and final question was about acrylics. Being a polymer chemist, it was a piece of piss. But stiff shit, I blew the audition.

 

[Veggiepatch]

Kangaroo is a very tasty meat. No room for error as it has to cooked just right. Cook it for too long and you'll end up with something to make a wallet out of.
