1. I’ll go with whatever @Rowsus answers.
2. I’ll guess true but without confidence.
3. I’ll say false as it sounds too early
4. I’m pretty sure it is true.

1. I think there is a fur museum somewhere, is it Denmark? True.
2. As we are part of the Milky Way, I don't see how this would work, so I'll have to say False. I believe certain insects do navigate by stars/planets etc though.
3. I'll say False, think it'll be a year off either way.
4. No idea, I'll just say True to have two of each.

One of the few times it's safe to follow me in these quizzes!

Looks like I have at least one wrong then.

 

[Rowsus]

Well, I guess I'm not giving anything away, as I live where I live.

I answered False, because Fur Museum is located on the Island of Fur in Denmark.
For all I know, it does have a collection of furs!!!
Fur is not a Danish word, but the Danish translation of the English word "fur" is "pelse".
So if it was a fur Museum, it would actually be called "Pelse Museum".

Haha - I was about to say that this one feels like a lottery to me, and as it turns out my guesses were the exact opposite of @Professor’s!

True to all.

Hehe - it’s only a lottery if you don’t know what you’re doing!

^ LOL I guessed the golf one correctly but my justification of it being far too early was very wrong!!
