    Excuse you, there are 206 bones in the adult human body. Before adulthood, there are more.

    The nose does not continue growing; it just stretches. As one ages the connection between cartilage (the nose 'bone') and bone weakens, and skin becomes more elastic. That, and the constant effect of gravity causes the nose (and ears) to elongated over the years.

    Yeah, I've got a serious issue with that one. Eyelashes, like other hairs, grow. Your nose gets bigger for awhile when you're young, and then it stops growing just like arms and legs do.

    The question about what cartilage connects is a bad one. All three options are correct. ---- The blood type question was also bad; AB or O are both correct depending how you interpret the question.

    Yes! Which blood type is compatible as a donor or as a recipient? Those are opposite, and both correct, answers. I guessed that they were asking as a donor so I guessed “incorrectly.”

    "Which blood type is *compatible*?" That is a VERY badly written question. Compatible HOW? As a DONOR, or as a RECIPIENT? AB can receive any type (A, B, AB, or O). O can donate to anyone. (Simplified to ignore Rh and other factors, of course.) But asking about 'compatibility' without specifying IN WHICH DIRECTION makes this question a coin flip!

    25/27 I guessed at the 'How many bones' question and the second one was a vocabulary problem as I am non-native english speaker (Austrian German is my first Language)

    At the end of the quiz, it ask me a question, How do I know all of these? Wish there was a way to answer that question. My answer would be that I am 65 and learned all these over the course of my life. Probably some of these in school.

    24/27, but i have to admit that I had to translate some terms as they are definitely not used here in common language. Femur = Oberschenkelknochen. Guess the country, folks. ;D

    No need to guess the country, but I would be interested in a literal English translation of oberschenkelknochen if you'd be so kind. I'm assuming it's 'upper leg bone' but that's just a guess.

    well the nose never stop growing, or the rest is shrinking? And Eyelashes don't renew and grow in age? I am not sure about that.

    Individual eyelashes don't continue to grow throughout life; they grow to a certain length then stop growing and fall out to be replaced by new ones on a constant cycle.

    You would be surprised how many adults will fail this test. Looking at you, underfunded American school system

    The school system is not underfunded. It is that way by design. The desired product is dumb little worker bees, not educated citizens who possess critical thinking skills.

    The only hard one was the organ with fat. If you didn't get the rest, it's a failure of your school to teach, and failure to inspire curiosity.
