How was the viral club cricketer cheating?

He was clicking his fingers to imitate the sound of an edge off the bat. No fancy technology, no ball tampering, just a sneaky click to make it sound like the batter had nicked one. Only 37% of players picked it, and the states could not agree on this one either, with a gap of 26 points between the best and the worst.

How many Commonwealth Games medals did Australia win in total?

Australia won 171 medals altogether, which rounds to 170. Only 32% of players picked the right number, making it one of the two hardest questions in the quiz. It also produced the biggest divide between states, with a spread of 37 points from the best state to the worst.

Which country's flag is this?

Flag of Tunisia

This one is the flag of Tunisia. Its red background with a white circle, crescent and star makes it easy to mix up with Turkey's flag. Just 32% of players named it correctly, and Flags finished as the hardest category in the whole quiz.
