The world is full of surprising information, half-truths and myths that persist from generation to generation. Many of them are still with us from school – and some of them are, perhaps surprisingly, wrong. In today’s quiz, you’ll test your knowledge of nature, science, history and the human body.

Perpetuated myths thrive unusually well in our society. Some have been created by mistake, others by simplifying more complex facts, and many are simply passed on without being verified. That is why quizzes like this are so popular – they show us how easily we can succumb to seemingly logical claims that may not actually be true.

In today’s quiz, we’ll look at a wide range of topics. From animals and natural phenomena to the human body, science and everyday myths that can sometimes confuse even those who think they have the general overview down pat. We also look at claims that may sound obvious, yet are in fact quite different.

So, do you dare? Take this quiz that will test your knowledge, intuition and critical thinking skills. And when you’re done, don’t forget to show off your results. You may find that the world around us is even more interesting than you thought. And if you feel like continuing, our other quizzes are eagerly awaiting you.
