Wise World: Life Basics Quiz

Wise World (Beginner) lets you check, through 100 four-choice quizzes, the everyday knowledge that quietly decides how a day goes. Why you wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet. How much change comes back when you pay 7 coins out of the 10 you are carrying. You never just pick an answer and move on: the reason behind it is there to read. It is the gentlest of the three volumes in the series. ■ The seven areas this volume covers • Hygiene and daily health: safe drinking water, handwashing, spotting food that has gone bad, teeth, airing a room • First aid and preventing illness: the first thing to do when a cut bleeds, coughing and sneezing manners • How tools create force: levers and fulcrums, pulleys, wheel and axle, friction, buoyancy, the strength of triangles, springs, oil • Sudden weather and what to do in a disaster: lightning, floods, earthquakes, tsunami, smoke in a fire, typhoons, landslides, heatstroke • Everyday arithmetic: division, multiplication, change from a purchase, splitting in half, tens and units • Order and comparison: sequence rules, balancing a scale, which purchase gives you more, comparing speed • The history of tools and technology: fire, writing, the wheel, paper, farming, clocks and calendars, money, printing, aqueducts, the compass, electricity ■ The series and difficulty levels • Wise World (Beginner): the gentlest volume, starting from the very basics • Wise World 2 (Basic): easy, covering a wider range of everyday topics • Wise World 3 (Advanced): slightly harder, digging into the reasons why You can start from any volume. ■ Designed so you read the explanation through In this volume the explanation that follows each answer is the main event. The safe-water question, for example, goes on to say that river and well water can look perfectly clear and still carry germs and viruses too small to see, and that a rolling boil is what kills them. Reading an explanation to the end earns experience points and levels you up. Wrong answers earn points too, so reading it through matters more than guessing right. ■ Two ways to work through it • Mixed mode: drawn at random from all 100 questions, with no repeats until you finish a full round • Category mode: five categories of 20 questions each (Health & Safety, Levers & Forces, Weather & Disaster Safety, Numbers & Logic, History of Tools & Technology), so you can stay in the area you care about ■ Who it is for • Adults who want to re-check the everyday basics they were taught long ago • Anyone wondering whether their disaster and hygiene knowledge has gone out of date • Anyone who wants to get through one question at a time in a spare moment • Anyone who prefers to learn in their own language • The Japanese edition carries full furigana reading aids, for people learning Japanese and for readers who need reading support ■ 12 languages Japanese, English, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese, French, Russian, Indonesian, Bengali, and Swahili. Every language contains the same 100 questions, because learning in your mother tongue matters. ■ Everything happens offline No data ever leaves your device. Works fully offline.
