    There's a few of these that are so poorly worded to be ambiguous, but at at least one that is completely self-contradictory. How can it be TRUE that the inventor of the lightbulb was Thomas Edison, when the answer goes on to say "Various versions of the lightbulb existed before Thomas Edison."

    It’s false that I just answered 50 questions when that WAS the 50th and I technically just answered 49. It’s true that I don’t know or care where Taylor Swift was born.

    The 50th question asked if I had just answered 50 questions. Up to that point I had only answered 49.

    Your logic failed you there. If you sell the honey then you are making money, not the bees. They're not even making you money because you're stealing what they are producing for their own use.

    Various versions of the lightbulb existed before Thomas Edison. Joseph Swan developed a similar design earlier, but Edison improved its longevity and efficiency, making it the first commercially practical incandescent bulb. So he wasn't the inventor of it if it existed before, you can't be the inventor if you improve a concept, Apple didn't invent WIFI, they onle are the first to put it in a customer oriented profduct

    * answers "false" on the question about whether Edison invented the light bulb. Gets marked as "wrong", and then told that Edison did, in fact, not create the first light bulb* ALRIGHTY, THEN!

    Some questionable questions. Carrots were not ORIGINALLY naturally orange, but they are now -- they are not died before marketed. And it was actually British inventor Sir Humphry Davy who was the first to invent the electric light in 1809.

    #50 is wrong. When I read the question I had just answered 49 true-or-false questions. I had not answered 50 until I had answered the final question. And #41: even in the explanation you state that Edison *improved* the light bulb, which is not the same as inventing it. It had to have been invented before it could be improved. Come on, Raquel and Erika, get your act together.

    #6. They were correct that I tried to hum while holding my nose. However, as I succeeded in humming (briefly) while holding my nose, they were incorrect that it is impossible.

    Also, #24. All coastlines are mathematically infinite in length as you can always increase the length by measuring at a finer granularity, so Canada's coastline is no longer than any other country's.

    Before answering #50, I had answered 49 questions so the answer was False. So my score is 44/50.

    WTF #41 ?! (And others, to be honest, like #46 where carrots ARE "naturally orange", even if they weren't originally!) You say yourself in the summary that "versions of a lightbulb existed BEFORE Edison's design"! So correct answer is FALSE. The question doesn't ask "Who's commonly referred to as an inventor of a lightbulb, but in reality isn't one?" 😡

    I had trouble with that one too. The sources are very conflicting about who actually was the last pharaoh 🤦‍♀️ If we agree to call Cleopatra a pharaoh, then she's actually not the last one anyway - her son Caesarion (Ptolemy XV) was.

    Some of those were patently obvious, rather than odd truths. Ironically, I knew the answers to the few really odd ones thanks to BP.

    40/50. I am not good with celebrities - have no ideas about Oskars or which team they played. Also, several questions were phrased not the best. Cucumber is a fruit technically/botanically, but vegetable in culinary. Bulb question was also so so. Pacific question was way too easy for me, as in my language it is called "The biggest" :)

    As others pointed out, #50 was incorrect - but so was #42. Technically speaking, the sun doesn't rise or set, because it doesn't move. We're the ones moving.
