  • Today's question:
    WHAT IS THE FASTEST ANIMAL ON EARTH?
    A Cheetah
    Gazelle
    Peregrine Falcon (> 320 km/h) :)

    Slightly confused. I always thought it was the Cheetah. However, Wiki says Cheetah has a top speed of 75 mph. Wiki answers says: The world's fastest animal is the Perigrine Falcon, which is also the fastest bird. Radar observations have discovered that it can reach speeds of up to 140 mph in a dive.

    0:20.566
    1:11.473 :) (Wiki says this one - Juan Montoya 2004)

    Question seems to have changed (not sure if it is permanent or a temporary mix up of questions - so will leave the above question and answer up) See post No 7 for new question and answer :)

    Thanks chickaroonee :) Maybe they have decided to mix the questions up a bit. I'll go check now and see what question I get :)

    I think the answer is 11 seconds. Youtube clip shows him starting running at 9 secs into the film, and he scores at 24 secs into the film. 11 seconds is the closest answer.

    Agree with ThePlushDoormat, he picks up the ball at 28:05 and it leaves his foot at 28:16 (on the scoreboard), so 11 seconds seems correct.

    I haven't entered this competition yet. I just wanted to ask when you click "enter and share" does it post it on your profile and your friends' newsfeed?
