  1. Question 01 · Memory · Easier · Pick one

    Shown for 3 seconds, then hidden:

    Cup · Rope · Bell · Leaf · Coin

    Which word came right before Leaf?

    • Rope
    • Bell✓ Correct answer
    • Coin
    • Cup

    The words were Cup, Rope, Bell, Leaf, Coin. Linking them into a quick story (“a cup on a rope rings a bell…”) helps remember the order, not just the words.

  2. Question 02 · Estimation · Easier · Pick one

    A car travels at 100 km/h. Roughly how far does it go in one minute?

    • About 100 m
    • About 1.7 km✓ Correct answer
    • About 6 km
    • About 10 km

    An hour has 60 minutes, so 100 km ÷ 60 ≈ 1.7 km each minute. Dividing by 60 converts any per-hour speed into per-minute.

  3. Question 03 · Estimation · Medium · Pick a point on a scale

    Roughly how deep is the deepest known point of the ocean, the Challenger Deep?

    • About 3,000 m
    • About 6,000 m
    • About 11,000 m✓ Correct answer
    • About 20,000 m

    The Challenger Deep is about 10,900–11,000 m deep — deeper than Mount Everest is tall. The water pressure there is over 1,000 times that at the surface.

  4. Question 04 · Speed · Medium · Put in order

    Order from shortest to longest.

    Correct order

    1. 5,000 seconds
    2. 1.5 hours
    3. 100 minutes
    4. 1 h 45 min

    Convert everything to minutes: 5,000 s ≈ 83 min, 1.5 h = 90 min, then 100 min, and 1 h 45 min = 105 min.

  5. Question 05 · Speed · Harder · Put in order

    Order these from smallest to largest — they are closer than they look.

    Correct order

    1. 11/20
    2. 0.6
    3. 5/8
    4. 2/3

    As decimals: 11/20 = 0.55, then 0.6, 5/8 = 0.625 and 2/3 ≈ 0.667. Converting everything to one form makes close values easy to rank.
