Genius Level General Knowledge #1
All these questions were guessed less than 20% of the time on our general knowledge quizzes. Do you have what it takes to be a trivia genius and get more than 1/3rd correct?
Does the answer for Spermaceti have to be so specific? Genuine question. I guessed at a less specific answer (I don't want to give it away for people who read the comments first) and obviosuly didn't get it correct.
"Spermaceti (from Greek sperma meaning "seed", and ceti, the genitive form of "whale") is a waxy substance found in the head cavities of the sperm whale (and, in smaller quantities, in the oils of other whales). Spermaceti is created in the spermaceti organ inside the whale's head." per wikipedia
Maybe it's because I do so many crosswords, but I feel pretty strongly that the same word shouldn't appear in both the clue and the answer. The clue should be reworked somehow. If that's not possible then the whole question should be discarded.
