Though all four of these are commonly referred to as "nuts", only three of them technically are nuts. Nuts are the fruits of certain trees. Drupes are a type of edible fruit, which the pecan, almond, and walnut are. Peanuts are legumes, and are in fact not nuts at all, despite the name.

3. Everything listed here is a shade of yellow; but one isn't. It's actually a shade of green. Which is the green-like color?

Answer: Skobeloff

Icterine is a color that is described as "jaundice-yellow". It's a fairly bright color. There is also a bird called the Icterine Warbler, so named due to its color.

Urobilin is a darkish orange-yellow color, similar to that of a manila envelope. It was originally called urochrome, and it was named because it was thought to be what gives urine its color. Though it does give urine its color, it is not the only chemical to do this, so urobilin was adopted as the name instead.

Aureolin is a bright yellow that is used in many pigments, and is commonly found as yellow dye number 40. It is sometimes called cobalt yellow.

Skobeloff is a dark, spring-green type teal color. It is used commonly as a warm, cozy interior design color.

6. All of these are sequels to the original "Pirates of the Caribbean": with one exception, of course. Which of these is not a sequel, but instead was the first "POTC" movie?

Answer: The Curse of the Black Pearl

"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" was released in 2003, and starred Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. It was the first in the "POTC" ("Pirates of the Caribbean") franchise. The second "POTC" was "Dead Man's Chest", released in 2005.

7. Usually, a sports team has a specific number of members. Quite often, a team consists of a prime number of players on the field. Which of these sports teams would not be a prime number of players?

Answer: Baseball team

A football team consists of 11 players on the field, as does a soccer team. Eleven is only divisible by 1 and itself (11), so it is a prime number. A basketball team contains 5 players on the court at one time. This is also a prime number, as 5 is divisible by only 1 and itself (5).

However, the players on a baseball team equals 9, which is not a prime number. Nine is divisible by 1, itself (9), AND 3. This means it is not a prime number, as a prime number is only divisible by 1 and itself.

8. Each thing listed below has 13 items of some sort. Wait, there's one exception. Which of these contains 14 items?

Answer: Days in a fortnight

There are 13 cards (A, 2-10, J, Q, and K) in each suit of a deck of cards, for a total of 52 cards in a deck. There are 13 cookies in a baker's dozen. A normal dozen contains 12 items, and a dozen dozen is a gross.

However, there are 14 days in a fortnight. A fortnight is a period of two weeks. Since each week has 7 days, a fortnight therefore has 14 days.
