Symbols surround us, guiding us, protecting us and communicating important messages every day. From mathematical symbols to road signs, these icons play a crucial role in our lives, often conveying a powerful meaning with just a simple image.
In this trivia quiz, we challenge you to identify the meaning behind some of the most recognizable symbols – whether a familiar road sign, a mathematical operator or a common everyday icon. How well do you really know the symbols that guide our world?

25 😑 but mathematically, does nr6 have two answers? Since it's not stated which side is referred to, just that one side is xx that the other side? 🤓🤷♂️
The other one offered an answer of "less than or equal" which was unequivocal. The "greater than" symbol very definitely means that one number is bigger and one number is smaller, so it was a choice of which answer was more correct.

24/30. I had to guess a couple and guessed wrong. Missed a couple of the car one. And I overthought π, panicked, and picked the wrong answer. In my defense, it's been decades since I needed to know how to use it. Mostly I just say that my friend bought a house on a perfectly circular lot - because it's 3.14 acres.

I agree about the format. I restarted the quiz to jog my memory!

I guess you never had to do epsilon-delta proofs... lucky :)

That answer choice cracked me up. I mean - how could such a zone be determined?

When I did it, it highlighted the correct answer in green when I picked wrong.

Got 'em all except the music one - it's s minim, FFS. Never heard of half or quarter notes before. Crotchets, quavers, semi-quavers...
Minim is UK parlance. UK uses that, Spanish & French use "white note", Italian bounces between the two (blanche & minim), and most of the rest of the world uses some variation of "half note".
