Answer: China

Those named in the question make up the seven largest countries. At 17.1 million square kilometres, Russia is easily the world's largest by area. With 9.984 million square kilometres, Canada is a little over half the size of Russia. In addition, its 202,080-kilometre coastline gives it a longer shoreline than any other nation. Now comes the caveat, the USA is third only because of its overseas territories - a total of 9.83 million square kilometres. China would be larger than the USA but for the overseas territories bit - and there is another caveat - if you added in disputed territories, China would be the world's second largest nation by area. The sources here are worldatlas.com and statista.com, both supported by the United Nations Statistics Division. Several other sources reverse USA and China.

Answer: Mercury

Since the demotion of Pluto from planet status, our Solar System has consisted of eight planets. The four planets closest to the Sun are the inner rocky planets: Mercury, Venus, our own fair Earth and Mars; the four planets most distant from the Sun are the gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The sequence starts with Uranus and works its way toward the Sun, skipping out every other planet, hence: Uranus >> Jupiter >> Earth >> MERCURY

Alpha, beta, gamma, and delta are the first four of the 24 letters in the Greek alphabet. It is still used in Greece. The letters are also used to name sororities and fraternities (the oldest of which is Phi Beta Kappa), and for scientific designations.

Answer: Pawn & Pawns

Chess has developed a reputation as a very tough board game in which to excel, but with a little bit of time spent reading over the rules of the game, chess is a game that everybody can enjoy. The 64 squares and 32 pieces mean that there is an enormous number of possible arrangements that the pieces can find themselves in, and as such it is very, very unlikely to find yourself playing the same game twice. The sequence relates to the assignment of a relative value to each of the pieces on a chessboard. There are a few systems that are used to give pieces their relative value but the simplest, and most commonly used, gives the queen a value of nine points, the rook a reasonable six, the bishop and knight a value of three and the pawn just one. Whilst not being as strong as the queen, the king is the most important piece on the board because its capture results in a player's defeat. Consequently, relative value systems give the king an arbitrary value that is very, very high and in real terms means that anything to do with the king is of utmost priority. So the sequence is of chess pieces of decreasing relative value: Queen >> Rook >> Bishop/Knight >> PAWN

Answer: Frigga

In English we talk about Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, all of which are connected to Norse mythology. Tyr (Tuesday) comes from Tiu, or Tiw, the Anglo-Saxon name for Tyr, the Norse god of war. Woden (Wednesday) was the supreme deity. Thor (Thursday) was the god of thunder. Frigga (Friday) was the wife of Odin, aka Woden. Note: the anglicised name Frigga is used here as an answer. Authorities in Norse mythology would tell you their spelling is Frigg.

So the next in the rainbow sequence has to be azure, which is a shade of blue, as we work through the colours of the spectrum in order. Cerise is a shade of pink, lilac a shade of mauve and ebony is black. None of those colours appear in the rainbow spectrum, which is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Answer: £125,000

This sequence shows a few of the rungs on the original prize ladder of the British version of the massively popular quiz show, 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire'. This sequence is also applicable to a large number of other versions of the show worldwide except that the currency symbol would be different. By answering nine consecutive questions correctly, a player would be entitled to walk away with £16,000; the next two questions then give the player a chance to double up, firstly to £32,000 and then to £64,000. As a contestant gets closer to the £1,000,000 jackpot, they answer questions of increasing difficulty, but the prize money goes up handsomely to compensate: £125,000, £250,000, £500,000 and finally, £1 million. Revisions were made to the structure of this ladder in the original UK version and in other worldwide versions as well. The sequence is: £16,000 >> £32,000 >> £64,000 >> £125,000

Answer: Woodlouse

Though perhaps this proportionality stops at eight legs, as I'd imagine that there are many more people who have arachnophobia than there are people who are afraid of the very gentle woodlouse. The woodlouse, which has fourteen legs, is something of an oddity as it is a crustacean that is quite happy existing far away from large bodies of water; compare that to the likes of barnacles, crabs, shrimp and lobsters and you get an idea about the isolation of the woodlouse from the rest of the Crustacea subphylum of the phylum Arthropoda. That said, the woodlouse seeks out damp places and it is in such an environment that the gilled creature thrives. The other options of boll weevil, cicada and woodworm are all insects and thus have just six legs, less than the eight legs of spiders. So the sequence goes: Snail >> Cockroach >> Spider >> WOODLOUSE
