Trivia Five #6 in brief
- The five questions, easiest first: 1. How many strings does a standard acoustic guitar have? 2. Which two brothers made the first sustained powered aeroplane flight in 1903? 3. What is a female horse called? 4. Which noble gas is used to make party balloons float? 5. Olympus Mons, an enormous shield volcano, is found on which body?
- Five questions, ordered gently upward: today opens on everyday and closes on space.
- 20 options across the five, so 15 of them are wrong and a blind guess lands about a quarter of the time.
