Everyone loves a quiz – but this quiz is a bit curious.  First, there are only seven questions.  Second, most people get most of the questions wrong (but that’s fine because nobody is recording anybody’s score).  And third, you’ll discover some really curious things about the real world as you go along.  This is maths like you might never have seen it before. Enjoy!
