Beyond the answers - interesting background to this quiz

The biggest animal that has ever lived

The blue whale is not just the largest cetacean, it is the largest animal known to have existed on Earth, bigger than any dinosaur. It feeds almost entirely on tiny krill, which it filters through baleen plates rather than teeth. Its heart alone can weigh as much as a small car, and its call can travel for many kilometres underwater.

A chapel that draws millions

The Sistine Chapel sits in Vatican City, the small independent state enclosed within Rome. It is famous for Michelangelo's ceiling, which he painted in the early 16th century, and for the Last Judgment on the altar wall. It also hosts the conclave, the gathering where cardinals elect a new pope.

Eclipses and the cosmic clockwork

Solar eclipses occur somewhere on Earth roughly every 18 months, though any single location waits far longer for one. They happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on our planet. Because the Moon's shadow is narrow, totality is visible only along a thin track.

Two currencies, two kingdoms

Morocco uses the dirham, while Denmark uses the krone. Both names echo older European coinage traditions: the dirham shares roots with the Greek drachma, and krone simply means crown. Denmark has kept the krone rather than adopting the euro, while Morocco manages the dirham within controlled exchange limits.
