Ann Baker, the name is Aboriginal, but the oldest instrument we call a boomerang was found in Poland. It is 40000 years old and made from ivory.

I’m Australian and boomerang is an aboriginal word. Poland, you must be joking!

9/15. Some dubious answers there!

Deirdre Gillespie, you are right

Peter Paplawsky, Egypt invented paper using Papyrus.

mikeyparry, the Aborigines used it around 20,000 years ago.

12/15 but some answers are wrong.

10 / 15. Surprised about the boomerang being invented in Poland! Can that be proved?

Got a chuckle from China inventing toilet paper. In April, 2024 I took a one month trip to China and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, with beautiful scenery, great food and people along the way. There are many public restrooms in China but almost NO TOILET PAPER - unless you are at a hotel or other popular destination. All (or most of the ones in Shanghai, Lijiang, Dali, Chongching, etc.) of the city bathrooms in parks and even in smaller restaurants, do not stock toilet paper. My Chinese hosts told me that with so many people and so many restrooms, it is just not easy to keep TP stocked and most people carry their own. I only learned this after getting sick during a walk in Shanghai and ran to the toilet (most are not toilets but a hole in the floor) and had nothing to wipe with. From then on, I did indeed carry my own. This is something they do not tell you in any tour book, but sticking to airport, hotels and fancy restaurants - you will have no problem.

Wasn't easy 10/15 but it was very educational, thanks for the answers 👍

Sue McGregor, No. You are mistaken. The original version of the game in this format was based on the streets of Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Good quiz. Hard to believe some didn't like it, but some people don't like anything,

12 / 15. Not bad!
