Red-eyed green tree frog
Real red-eyed green tree frogs are only about six centimetres long. Our frog is 40 centimetres! These beautiful frogs live in rainforests of Central America, and have big red eyes to help them see in the dark. This amazing creature could soon be living in your room!

To win, tell us in what year was Darwin's book, On the Origin of Species, published?

Brain Drain
This classic Rubik's cube TM puzzle will seriously meddle with your mental capacities. There are 3 252 003 274 489 856 000 possible combinations, but this puzzle can always be solved in fewer than 26 moves! The world record for solving it is less than 8 seconds… can you beat it?

To win, tell us if you consider yourself 'lucky' or 'unlucky'.

Operation: Survival
An insect is stuck in your right ear, what should you do to get it out?

a) hit your ear

b) shine a light on the insect, or

c) scream loudly.

Operation Survival is a game of strategy and survival of the fittest for budding explorers. As plane crash survivors in a remote land, can you make it back from the edge?
To win, tell us if a, b or c would get the insect out of your ear.
