FAKE OR FACT (ROUND 2)

ROUND 2

400

1. "Mount Everest is the only mountain in the world."
2. "Strawberries are not actually berries, but bananas are." 
3. "The Great Wall of China is made of chocolate."

• "Strawberries are not actually berries, but bananas are." (TRUE)

Expected Reason: "Science says banana is a berry because of the seeds inside."

500

1. "The Sahara is the largest desert in the world."
2. "The Great Wall of China is visible from the Moon with the naked eye."
3. "Antarctica is the largest desert on Earth."

"Antarctica is the largest desert on Earth." (TRUE)

Kenapa Benar? "A desert is defined by how much rain/snow it gets, not how hot it is." (Faktanya: Sahara adalah gurun panas terbesar, tapi Antartika adalah gurun secara keseluruhan yang terbesar).

gurun didefinisikan oleh seberapa sedikit curah hujan (hujan/salju) yang diterimanya dalam setahun, bukan seberapa panas suhunya.  

Antartika (karena curah hujannya salju paling rendah/kering).

1. Humans have 5 separate senses. 
2. Blood is blue when it's inside your body. 
3. There are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

Menurut data dari NASA dan penelitian yang dipublikasikan di jurnal Nature, ada sekitar 100-400 miliar bintang di galaksi Bima Sakti, sedangkan ada sekitar 3 triliun pohon di Bumi. Jadi, pohon di Bumi jauh lebih banyak daripada bintang di galaksi kita! 

Hampir semua orang mengira kita hanya punya 5 indra. Padahal, secara medis kita punya 20 hingga 33 indra! Contohnya: Proprioception (kemampuan menyentuh hidung dengan mata tertutup), Equilibrioception (keseimbangan), dan Thermoception (merasakan suhu)

500

1. "Diamond is the softest material on Earth."
2. "The Moon has its own light like the Sun."
3. "It rains diamonds on the planet Saturn and Jupiter." 

"It rains diamonds on the planet Saturn and Jupiter." (TRUE)

• Kenapa Benar? "The high pressure in the atmosphere turns carbon into diamonds."

(Blank)

400

1. "Honey never spoils; you can eat 3000-year-old honey." 
2. "The Eiffel Tower is located in New York."
3. "Humans only use 10% of their brains."

"Honey never spoils; you can eat 3000-year-old honey." (TRUE)

• Expected Reason: "Bacteria cannot grow in honey because it is very dry and sweet."

500

1. The human tongue has a "taste map." 
2. Goldfish have a memory span of only 3 seconds. 
3. Carrots were originally purple. 

• The orange carrots we know today only became common in the 17th century. It is said that Dutch farmers cross-bred them to produce orange varieties as a tribute to their royal family, the House of Orange. Before this, natural carrots were mostly deep purple or pale yellow.
  Wortel oranye yang kita kenal sekarang baru muncul secara masif di Belanda pada abad ke-17. Kabarnya, petani Belanda mengembangkan varietas oranye sebagai penghormatan kepada keluarga kerajaan mereka, House of Orange. Sebelumnya, wortel alami berwarna ungu tua atau kuning pucat.
