The last answer is incorrect. O negative is the Universal donor blood type not O positive

Copied the following from the Red Cross site:

“About 43% of the population has type O blood, either positive or negative. O positive blood can’t be used universally because it has the Rh factor, but it is compatible with all positive blood types including O+, A+, B+, and AB+. Since over 80% of the population has a positive blood type, type O positive blood is in high demand. In some cases, it is used if the O negative blood is not available.

In contrast with O positive blood, O negative blood is relatively rare. Only about 1 in 15 people (approx. 7% of the population) have the universal blood type.”

So who am I to argue?

4 out of 10 but should have been 5 as I am actually an O+ blood type and clicked the wrong one. I believe O+ can give blood to anyone so it is the most common type. Guess it is back to school for me - again!

I'm O positive too and yes we can give too any one but we can only receive O positive

Question 2: How many times has the musical "The Phantom of the Opera" been performed on Broadway?​

The answer is over 13000 times, therefore all 4 answers would be correct? (5000, 8000, 11000)

Of course

No it's correct , it's asking the most common blood type . I know this because I'm O pos

I'd also like to thank everyone for taking the time to point out the nuances or flat-out errors with the trivia questions and/or answers that sometimes make it through.

This is also to acknowledge the information in the last question, which says blood type O+ is the universal donor.

As some have pointed out, member Robyn W. sent in the following:

'I enjoy reading your newsletter, and I do the trivia quiz every time, but so far I haven't got 100% correct - maybe one day!'

'I need to correct the information in question 10 where it refers to O Positive blood types being considered universal donors. It is, in fact, O Negative blood that is considered the "universal donor" blood, and is only used in extreme emergencies.'

'I was, before I retired, a Medical Scientist who worked in Transfusion Medicine (Blood Bank) in a major hospital.'

Keep up the good work of keeping us informed and providing a bit of fun.

Cheers,
Robyn W.'

Various sources also make the distinction of O negative blood being the universal donor, so we apologise for the mistake!
