Which galaxy can you see with the naked eye?

Quiz 41 belonged to the puzzle solvers, not the stargazers. Barely a quarter of players knew the most distant thing you can see with your own eyes, making Space the toughest topic of the week. The average still came in at a solid 11.3 out of 15.

Which parking bay number is hidden beneath the car?

Visual brain teaser: hidden parking bay number

Have a go at the puzzle above before reading on. The answer is 87. The trick is to flip your phone upside down, and the mysterious symbols suddenly become an ordinary run of numbers with one missing.

Only 41% of players cracked it. This one has done the rounds of the internet for years and it still catches most people, so no shame there.

What country is highlighted?

Take a look at the highlighted country above. It is Mongolia, the vast landlocked country sandwiched between Russia and China.

59% of players placed it. It is one of those countries everyone has heard of and far fewer can point to, which is exactly why we put it on a map.

Which galaxy is the most distant object visible to the naked eye?

The Andromeda Galaxy. It sits about 2.5 million light years away and appears as a faint, smudgy patch in the night sky. Everything else you can see without a telescope lives inside our own Milky Way.

Just 26% of players knew it, making it one of the hardest questions of the quiz. File it away for the next clear night camping.
