Wrong! The word is "Innings" with an "s". The bowling side has to get 10
batsmen out, unless there is a declaration or it is a limited overs match.
You clearly don't know much about cricket! LMAO!

The question says two are taken AWAY - thus they are no longer "here"
(wherever that is).

Back to Sunday School you go!
Moses did have an Ark. The Ark of the Covenant.
It didn't contain any animals but it was still an object called an "Ark".

Wrong! At the time of posting the US President is George Bush. Obama is the

LMAO! I only pointed out the question & answers that are wrong or ambiguous.
I actually got all the "undisputed" ones right too.
BTW tests like these test knowledge not intelligence.
A true intelligence test has questions that contain all the information
required to answer them - no external or previous knowledge required.
