Historical Higher/Lower

I had a great idea for this new format! A **false** statement is given and you are to choose whether the correct answer is higher or lower than the statement given. For example Letters in the English Alphabet: 25. The correct answer is higher, as there are 26 letters. Data from various sources, such as Britannica for further research, although a lot of initial facts were found using Wikipedia before cross-checking.
