I'll give you a while to have a think about that. So we move on to the answers then to 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Question number one. What are the five most followed religions in the world? I've used data from Wikipedia for this one.
So at one is Christianity with 2.4 billion followers. Islam is second with 1.9 billion. Then it's Hinduism with 1.2 billion followers. Buddhism with 0.4 billion. And I always thought Judaism would have been the next one. However, according to data on Wikipedia, it's Shinto, which is a Japanese religion with 100 million followers. Judaism slightly down the list with...
14.7 million. So Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Shinto are the world's most followed religions. Number two, 999 gives you access to the four main emergency services. in the uk can you name them so the four answers are police fire ambulance and the coast guard

Which two colours are mixed to make purple, that's blue and red. 5. False or true, Boy Scouts can earn a badge in Circus Girls, that is true.
and returning to clued up how did you do did you guess the celebrity born in 1972 briefly lived in new zealand planned to be a football player but an injury sideline that was so turned to wrestling became a wwe or wwf champion under the name the rock and then also became a Hollywood star, most notably Jumanji 2, Fast and Furious films Moana, and Black Adam, which is awful.
I tried watching it. Rarely will I turn a film off midway. Once I've started watching a film, I will commit. I had to stop on that one. It was awful. But one of his first ever... TV appearances in fact I think his first ever acting appearance was Star Trek Voyager where he had to wrestle Seven of Nine what an absolutely random episode well done if you identified Dwayne Johnson
And he does actually come from a long line of wrestlers. His maternal grandfather was High Chief Peter Mavia, was a wrestler. His maternal grandmother, Leah Mavia, was one of wrestling's few female promoters. His cousin... Savalina Fanin is also a wrestler working for WWE under the ring name Nia Jax. There you go.
