The Daily Mix
Six questions, six subjects, one little challenge. A new mix lands every day at midnight New York time.
Which winged horse sprang from the blood of Medusa when Perseus beheaded her?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
Pegasus
Pegasus was born from Medusa's severed neck along with the warrior Chrysaor. The hero Bellerophon later tamed him with a golden bridle and rode him to slay the Chimera.
When Bellerophon tried to fly Pegasus up to Olympus, Zeus sent a gadfly to throw him off, and the horse alone was welcomed.
Which candy bar was named after a favorite horse owned by the Mars family?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
Snickers
Snickers was introduced in 1930 and named after a horse the Mars family kept on their farm. The bar of nougat, caramel and peanuts in milk chocolate became one of the best selling candy bars in the world.
In Britain and Ireland the bar was sold as Marathon until 1990, when it was renamed Snickers to match the rest of the world.
Which Canadian territory was created in 1999?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
Nunavut
Nunavut was carved out of the eastern Northwest Territories on 1 April 1999 as a homeland for the Inuit, giving Canada its third territory and its largest single jurisdiction by area.
Its capital, Iqaluit, is the only Canadian capital city not connected to the rest of the country by road.
How many bones are in an adult human body?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
206
Adults have 206 bones. A newborn has closer to 270, but many, including those of the skull and spine, fuse together during childhood.
The hyoid bone in the neck is the only bone in the body that does not connect to any other bone.
What is the name of Tony's psychiatrist?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi
Tony begins therapy with Dr. Jennifer Melfi after a panic attack in the pilot, and their sessions, played by James Gandolfini and Lorraine Bracco, frame the entire series.
Bracco was offered the role of Carmela but asked to play Melfi instead, feeling she had already done the mob wife in Goodfellas.
Pokémon Gold and Silver, the second generation games, are set in which region?
Got a hunch? Pick the answer that feels right.
Johto
Gold and Silver introduced the Johto region in 1999, modelled on Japan's Kansai area, and uniquely let players travel back to Kanto after beating the Johto league.
Gold and Silver were the first games with a real time clock, so certain Pokémon only appeared in the morning or at night.

How the Daily Mix works
Every day at midnight New York time, the mix picks six categories and draws one question from each. The draw works through every question in a category before any of them comes around again, so you will not see the same question twice in a hurry. Everyone gets the same six questions on the same day, so you can compare scores with friends. Answer at your own pace, read the explanation after each pick, and come back tomorrow for a fresh set.
