ANSWERS
Round 1 – The Lie: C) Snails have four hearts
Truth: Snails only have one heart — but some species have a second "heart-like" structure. Not four.
And yes, koalas really do have fingerprints so similar to ours they can confuse crime scenes!
Round 2 – The Lie: B) Post-it Notes were created to hold dental floss
Truth: They were actually created by accident when a weak adhesive turned out to be useful for sticking notes.
Post-it Notes are sold in over 150 countries and have a global market valued at more than $2.5 billion in 2024.
Round 3 – The Lie: C) Einstein taught himself to read at 3 months
Truth: Einstein actually spoke late as a child and didn’t start talking fluently until around age 4.
But yes — Napoleon’s bunny attack and Carter’s UFO report really happened.
Round 4 – The Lie: A) Carrots were originally blue
Truth: Carrots were originally purple, not blue!
And yes, bananas are berries — and chocolate milk’s roots go back to Jamaica in the 1600s.
Round 5 – The Lie: B) Microwave record player
Truth: That one’s totally made up (but I kind of wish it were real).
Sweden’s Museum of Failure is real — and the tiniest book on Earth is microscopic.
