At the expert level, a statement that “everyone knows” may be a myth.
Read the explanations: the facts often come back in a different form.
FAQ
How is the level of a statement decided?

Can I change my answer?
No. Your first tap is your answer. Then read the explanation and go on to the next statement.
Is there a time limit?
No. Take as long as you like for each statement.
Is there a different set every day?
Yes, for 10 days in a row at each of the four levels: easy, medium, hard and expert. After that the sets of a level come round again in the same order. Earlier sets are in the archive.
