Answer: 54

If you're interested, those eight notes are D, A, B, F Sharp, G, D, G, A. Johann Pachelbel was a German composer who lived from 1653 to 1706. His canon only really became popular in the twentieth century and is now used in many different ways, particularly as a wedding piece. It was also used in the 1980 film, "Ordinary People" Rob also bemoans the uncoolness of learning the cello as a child. There is, he says, "no way to be cool when your instrument is larger than you" and he goes on to describe the bullies eying up the cello carrying school child, as though it were "a wounded gazelle in the Serengeti".

Wild honey bees nest in hollow trees. In the UK, at least, there are hardly any wild honey bees left, wiped out by a pest called the parasitic varroa mite, and a mystery disease is also decimating domestic honey bees, with half the US affected. Of the wrong answers, the bumble bee is any member of the genus bombus, but it is not true that the bumble bee should scientifically not be able to fly.
