You may also be thinking that some information is missing for some of the below questions and you'd be right! The answers listed below only contain answers that appear in the quiz, so as a hypothetical example, if a question asks about how many gymnasts it takes to change a lightbulb, and 4 options are given in the question, only the correct answer will appear in the below information.
