Answer: A. 10
If you remember the a2 + b2 = c2 rule from math class, that's what'll help you solve this problem. This rule states that if you have a triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides equals the square of the longest side. And in this problem, the walkers' paths form parts of triangles. You may want a pencil and paper to "draw out" this problem and visualize the triangles.
Draw two lines labeled "three feet" for the distance they walk away from each other. Then draw two lines labeled "four feet," going in opposite directions, for the distance they walked after their left turns. Now draw a line connecting the points at the ends of those lines (representing where the people are now). This line represents the distance you're trying to figure out.
Now, you've got two triangles touching at the corners. Two sides of each are 3 feet and 4 feet (the distances each person walked). The unknown sides represent two halves of the distance you're trying to find. So break out that Pythagorean Theorem: Three is a, 4 is b. 32 + 42 = 9 + 16 = 25 = c2. Take the square root of 25 and you get 5, which is the longest side of these mini-triangles. Five feet is half of the distance between the people. Five times two is ten! Here's another three-sided puzzler: Try to figure out how many triangles are in this image.

Trivia question #6:
You're trapped in a room with two doors. Only one door will lead you out of the room safely, but you don't know which. A guard stands in front of each door. One guard always lies, the other always tells the truth, but you don't know which is which. You can only ask one guard one question. What question do you ask, and what do you do once the guard has answered?
A. "Which is the safe door?" Go through the door the guard tells you.
B. "Which is the safe door?" Go through the other door.
C. "If I were to ask the other guard which was the safe door, which door would s/he say?" Go through that door.
D. "If I were to ask the other guard which was the safe door, which door would s/he say?" Go through the other door.
12 / 100
Answer: D. "If I were to ask the other guard which was the safe door, which door would s/he say?" Go through the other door.
If you chose the lying guard, the lying guard is telling you the door that the truthful guard would not say is safe. If you chose the truthful guard, the truthful guard is telling you the door that the lying guard would say is safe. Either way, the door the guard responds with isnotthe safe door. Go through the other door and you're out! If you got that one right, you might be ready to try to solve 25 of the toughest riddles ever.

Trivia question #9:
Lizzie, Isaac, Justine, and Mike each bought a different dessert. One of them bought a cupcake; one bought a doughnut; one bought a brownie; one bought ice cream. One spent $1; one spent $2; one spent $3; and one spent $4. Using the set of clues below, who bought the ice cream?
- CLUE 1: Lizzie spent more money than Justine.
- CLUE 2: Justine bought the brownie.
- CLUE 3: Of the person who spent $1 and the person who spent $4, one of them was Lizzie and the other one bought the doughnut.
- CLUE 4: The person who bought the cupcake, the person who bought the brownie, the person who spent $2, and Isaac are all different people.
Who bought the ice cream?
A. Lizzie
B. Isaac
C. Justine
D. Mike
[Source: Buzzfeed]
18 / 100
Answer: D. Mike
- We know (because of Clue 3) that Lizzie spent either $1 or $4. Because of Clue 1, we also know Lizzie spent more money than Justine, which means Lizzie can't have spent $1 (the lowest amount). So Lizzie spent $4. Because of Clue 3, this means that the person who did spend $1 bought the doughnut.
- Clue 2 says that Justine bought the brownie. Because of Clue 4, we then know that Justine didn't spend $2, since the $2-spender and the brownie-buyer are not the same person. We also know that Isaac didn't buy the cupcake (or the brownie)orspend $2.
- Therefore, since we already know Lizzie spent $4, Mike is the only one who could have spent $2.
- Since the $1-spender and the doughnut-buyer are the same person, this has to be Isaac—he's now the only one who doesn't have either dessert or money accounted for yet.
- That leaves Justine having spent $3.
- Clue 4 says that the person who spent $2 and the person who bought the cupcake are not the same. Since Mike spent the $2, Lizzie must have bought the cupcake.
- This leaves us with our answer: Mike bought the ice cream!
If you figured that out, reward yourself with your dessert of choice. Oh, and you might be ready to tackle this logic puzzle invented by Albert Einstein himself.

Trivia question #12:
…whose first digit is one-fourth of the last digit; the second digit is six times the first digit, and the third digit is the second digit plus three.
24 / 100
Answer: 1694
Since the second digit is six times the first, the second digit must be 6, because it's the only number that is still a single digit and is divisible by six. (It couldn't be 0 either, because the second digit is six times the first digit, which would make the first digit 0, impossible for a four-digit number.) Once you've figured that out, you can figure out that the first digit is 1, the last digit is 4, and the third digit is 9.

Answer: D. 6
While King George III had many legitimate heirs, King George IV left none. Here's what it took to make Victoria the Queen:
- The death of Princess Charlotte of Wales, the King's daughter, who had been the heir presumptive. She died in 1817 at the age of 21.
- The next in line for the throne was Prince Frederick, Duke of York, but he died in 1827 with no legitimate children.
- That left the throne to Prince William, Duke of Clarence, who became King William IV in 1831.
- When he died in 1837, he had no legitimate living children because his two legitimate daughters, Princess Charlotte Augusta Louisa of Clarence and Princess Elizabeth of Clarence had died in infancy.
- The death of George IV and William IV's younger brother, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. He passed away in 1820 shortly after the birth of his daughter Princess Alexandrina Victoria in 1819.

A. Mexico's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla
B. Mexico's independence from the French
C. The end of the French occupation of Mexico in 1867
D. Mexico's independence from the United States
52 / 100
Answer: A. Mexico's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla
The Franco-Mexican War began when the French invaded Mexico—at Veracruz—in 1861. France's intention was to establish dominance in Mexico while the United States was preoccupied with the Civil War and then to provide military support to the Confederate cause. Cinco de Mayo celebrates an important military victory during the Franco-Mexican War, but the war continued, as did France's occupation of Mexico, until 1867.

D. Wicked Lester

Answer: C. The New Yardbirds
The fledgling band chose the name they'd become famous with after a couple of members of The Who gossiped that their band would sink like a zeppelin filled with lead. The band took that in stride, calling themselves Led Zeppelin (removing the "a" in "lead" so people wouldn't pronounce it "leed"). How's that for an ironic "failure" of people who became wildly successful?

What comic book character did Michael Jackson want to play so much that he considered buying Marvel Comics in the 1990s?
A. Wolverine
B. The Hulk
C. Professor X
D. Spider-Man
62 / 100
Answer: D. Spider-Man
The King of Pop as the Webslinger?! It could've happened, according to Stan Lee himself. Before Marvel started developing the massively popular films of their Cinematic Universe, and even before the Spider-Man trilogy of the early 2000s, Jackson, a bit of a super-fan, apparently wanted to play the part of Spider-Man to make it more of a "cinematic property," so much so that he even considered purchasing the studio. Since Lee didn't share this bit of news until after Jackson's death in 2009 it's not clear exactly why he never went through with it, but we're just fine with Tom Holland's version.

A. Red
B. Black
C. Turquoise
D. Purple

The color turquoise was chosen as a softer alternative to French fry yellow.

What fruit did many people in the Western world think was poisonous until 1820?
A. Strawberries
B. Bananas
C. Tomatoes
D. Olives
68 / 100
Answer: C. Tomatoes
Largely thanks to one man, John Gerard, and his 1597 bookThe Generall Historie of Plantes,much of Great Britain, and later the United States believed that eating tomatoes could be deadly. (Tomatoes contain a not-enough-to-actually-be-toxic amount of a substance called tomatine.) This myth persisted until another man, Robert Johnson, very publicly ate a basket of tomatoes in front of a New Jersey courthouse in 1820. When they didn't kill him, people had to acknowledge that tomatoes were in fact safe. Learn more fun United States facts you didn't learn in school that will make great trivia questions.

A.The Shawshank Redemption
B.Raiders of the Lost Ark
C.The Silence of the Lambs
D.Apollo 13
72 / 100
Answer: D.Apollo 13
Though the accuracy of the story has come into question, it's something of a legend that Hastings' late fee forApollo 13was the last straw. He came up with the idea for a mail-order DVD service, and an entertainment behemoth was born. And Netflix's original name is also trivia questions–worthy: It was originally called "Kibble"!

What U.S. state's constitution did Congress forget to ratify when they granted it statehood, an omission only fixed 150 years later?
A. Ohio
B. Iowa
C. Indiana
D. Illinois
74 / 100
Answer: A. Ohio
Oops! Though officially the 17th state in the Union, Ohio's state constitution didn't get formally ratified until 1953—which would make it the 48th! Luckily, Ohio's request for statehoodhadbeen approved when it was supposed to be, in 1803, and that was good enough for most people. It was Ohio representative George H. Bender who eventually pushed to get the constitution ratified once and for all. These other strangest facts about every U.S. state are also strange, but true.

76 / 100
Answer: B. Hedgehog
Can you see the resemblance?! Sea urchins were so named because of their spiny similarities to the hedgehog, which didn't start going by that name until the 1400s. Hedgehogs were originally called "urchins," from the Middle English "urchoun."

B. James Patterson
C. Dan Brown
D. Tom Clancy
82 / 100
Answer: A. Stephen King
Stephen King's son, Joseph Hillström King, goes by the pen name Joe Hill. Under it, he wrote several short stories and a novel, all while choosing to "[keep] his father's identity firmly under wraps," per the Telegraph, so that he wouldn't get preferential treatment. His father's identity leaked in 2007, but he'd already made a name for himself.

What did the Raines Law, enacted in 1896 in New York, do?
A. Made it illegal to enter a bar while drunk
B. Made it illegal to sell alcohol on Sundays
C. Made it illegal to drink on Election Day
D. Made it illegal to ride a horse under the influence of alcohol
84 / 100
Answer: B. Made it illegal to sell alcohol on Sundays
The Raines Law was one of the precursors to Prohibition. It tried to keep Sundays dry, but it didn't stop New Yorkers from finding a few loopholes. Hotels were still allowed to serve alcohol with meals, which led many establishments to hastily throw together sub-par sandwiches so that they were *technically* still following the law. Though B was correct for this question, all of the other choices actually are still odd liquor laws that exist or have existed in the United States!

What comic strip's joke name for the row of spikes on a stegosaurus' tail, the "thagomizer," ended up becoming the official name?
A. Non Sequitur
B. The Far Side
C. Dilbert
D. The Family Circus
86 / 100
Answer: B. The Far Side
The comic strip in question featured a caveman tutoring other cavemen in stegosaurus anatomy and implied that the row of spikes was "named" after another caveman named Thag who'd had an unfortunate run-in with them. A paleontologist at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science started using the term, in 1993 (11 years after the comic came out), and it stuck.

Answer: D. Montana
In addition to Alabama, Hawaii, and Utah, the states of Alaska, Nevada, and Mississippi also don't sell lottery tickets (though Mississippi plans to debut a lottery by the end of 2019). That's right, Nevada doesn't allow the lottery—despite it being the gambling capital of the United States! The theory goes that the casinos don't want the competition. Go figure.

D. Coffee
94 / 100
Answer: B. Dairy
Long story short, Walt Disney's ancestors hailed from a village in France called Isigny-sur-Mer. (The name "Disney" is actually an anglicized version of "D'Isigny," or "from Isigny"!) This village is famous for its dairy farms. This year, they actually promoted their connection with a cool "From D'Isigny to Disney" marketing campaign, complete with Mickey Mouse–themed cheese packaging!

In 1834, a scientific historian named William Whewell read it (Somerville was 53 at the time), and realized it would be quite inaccurate to call her a "man of science" in his review. So the word "scientist" was born. Here are some more amazing women in history you probably haven't heard of—but should.

Answer: C. John Quincy Adams
Before Jules Verne, there was John Quincy Adams! It's perhaps not something he'd like to be remembered for, but the sixth president actually approved such an expedition. Back then (the early 19th century), it was still a fairly common belief that the Earth was hollow, and one army officer was particularly thrilled by the idea of exploring its interior. President Adams was in favor of letting him but was voted out of office before the plan could gain any traction.
