- One gram of gold can be hammered into a sheet of about one square metre.
- Gold does not rust or tarnish, so gold objects thousands of years old still shine like new.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
