It's time to put your general knowledge to the test with another round of our popular Tuesday quiz. From ancient mythology to modern pop culture, this week's questions will challenge even the sharpest minds.
Today's Brain-Teasing Questions
The quiz kicks off with a word of the day: 'Magnanimous', defined as being very generous or forgiving, especially towards a rival. The questions then span a diverse range of topics. You'll need to identify the Ancient Greek God of the Sun, recall how many faces a Dodecahedron has, and know which city is famously known as "The Eternal City".
Science and history feature prominently, with queries about the number of elements in the periodic table, the location of the strongest human muscle, and the primary cause of the Great Irish Famine. More modern topics include the decade the internet was created and the world's rarest and most expensive spice by weight. The quiz ends with a foodie conundrum: determining which sauce among hoisin, Worcestershire, mustard, or wasabi is not traditionally vegan.
