SAME FIVE

Thursday, October 15, 2026

The five questions everyone played that day, in the order they were asked, with the correct answers and why they are right.

Too few players took part this day for results to be shown.

  1. Question 01 · Estimation · Easier · Put in order

    Order these from heaviest to lightest.

    Correct order

    1. An adult African elephant
    2. A family car
    3. A grand piano
    4. A bicycle

    An adult African elephant weighs about 6 tonnes, a family car about 1.4 tonnes, a grand piano roughly 300–500 kg and a bicycle around 10 kg.

  2. Question 02 · Visual · Easier · Pick one

    Which capital letter looks the same in a mirror held beside it?

    • A✓ Correct answer
    • B
    • C
    • E

    A is symmetric about a vertical line; B, C and E are symmetric about a horizontal line.

  3. Question 03 · Prediction · Medium · This or that

    You roll two fair dice. Which is more likely?

    • Rolling a double✓ Correct answer
    • Rolling a total of 8

    6 of the 36 outcomes are doubles; only 5 add up to 8 (2+6, 3+5, 4+4, 5+3, 6+2).

  4. Question 04 · Prediction · Medium · Pick a point on a scale

    You flip a fair coin three times. What is the chance of three heads?

    • 1 in 8✓ Correct answer
    • 1 in 6
    • 1 in 4
    • 1 in 3

    Each flip is heads with chance ½, and independent chances multiply: ½ × ½ × ½ = 1/8. Of the 8 equally likely sequences, only HHH is all heads.

  5. Question 05 · Memory · Harder · Pick one

    Shown for 4 seconds, then hidden:

    Z7 · Q2 · M5 · B9

    Which letter was paired with 5?

    • Z
    • Q
    • M✓ Correct answer
    • B

    The pairs were Z7, Q2, M5, B9, so M went with 5. Saying pairs as single words (“zed-seven, queue-two…”) helps bind them together.
