Trivia Five #14 in brief
- The five questions, easiest first: 1. How many cards are in a standard deck, excluding jokers? 2. What is the study of birds called? 3. According to Newton’s third law, every action has what? 4. Which Egyptian ruler was the last active pharaoh of the Ptolemaic dynasty? 5. Which large galaxy is the Milky Way’s nearest major neighbour?
- 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.
