What General forum doesn't have a General Knowledge quiz, well, now this one does.
In this thread General Knowledge questions will be asked and you, the people, must give answers. After this first question, the winner will be stated here and then will have to give a question; and so on and so forth. Please don't use the internet, cause where's the fun in that.
The author of the question has to tell people who guess whether they are correct or wrong.
Rules
1)If no-one gets the answer within 24 hours of it being posted then the person who set it must ask a new one.
2)If no new question is set within 5 hours someone else will have to set a new question.
3)If you find out the answer on the internet(i.e.Google,Wikipedia) then you can't enter.
4)If you answer a question, you will get a point, providing that you also set a question.
5)No points will be added to the setter's total if no-one answers their question (Because than you could just set a really hard question that no-one would get)

Actually what google shows is that the question was ambiguous. :)
Lungfish isnt a specific species but rather a class of fish. As such the length of time they can spend outside of water depends on species (which wasnt given). The Australian Lungfish can only survive 2-3 days (as Sunflower answered) for instance. So how was that an incorrect answer? :P

Well excuse me for knowing so much about animals!
I did a topic in science to do with fish, my sister has a degree in animal (and wont shut up about it) and I'm hoping to become a vet, which requires me to know about all kinds of animals :P
Googled it, I've never been so insulted in my life!!!
