You can see the Great Wall of China with the naked eye from the Moon.
False. The Wall is long but very narrow, and it blends in with the land around it. Astronauts have said they cannot pick it out from the Moon, and it is hard to spot even from low Earth orbit.
Dolphins are mammals, not fish.
True. Dolphins breathe air, are warm-blooded and feed their young with milk. They breathe through a blowhole on top of the head, and they have to come to the surface to do it.
A lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the Sun.
True. Lightning heats the air around it to about 30,000 °C, while the Sun's surface is roughly 5,500 °C. The bolt is so hot that the air expands explosively, which we hear as thunder.
Measured from base to summit, Mount Everest is the tallest mountain on Earth.
False. Everest has the highest summit above sea level. Measured from its base on the seafloor, Mauna Kea in Hawaii is taller, at about 10,000 m.
Cleopatra lived closer in time to the Moon landing than to the building of the Great Pyramid.
True. The Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC and Cleopatra died in 30 BC, about 2,500 years later. The Moon landing in 1969 came only about 2,000 years after her.
What is True or False?
True or False is PlayWord's daily trivia quiz: every day brings five true or false questions with answers, about history, geography, nature, science, the human body or popular myths, and you decide whether each one is true or false.
After every answer you see straight away whether you were right, with a short explanation of the facts. A round takes about two minutes, a nice warm-up before the other daily games.
How to play
- Read the statement and tap True or False. On a phone you can also swipe the card right (true) or left (false); on a computer use the → and ← keys.
- The card turns green or red and the explanation appears. Next (or Enter) brings the next statement.
- The statements go from easy to hard: two easy, two medium, one hard. Two or three of them are true each day.
- Answers are final, with no timer and no hints. At the end you see your score and all five statements with their explanations.
Tips
- Don't rule a statement out just because it sounds odd: the most surprising ones are often true.
- Well-known myths, like the goldfish with a three-second memory, often show up as false statements.
- Watch the numbers: a false statement is often off only by a year, a distance or an amount.
