- Republic of Korea
- Japan
See the answer
Japan
Japan’s average life expectancy is 84.46 years.

Following Japan, Singapore ranks second and the Republic of Korea ranks third in the life expectancy rankings.
Which animal sleeps the longest?
- koala
- Elephant
- camel
See the answer
koala
Koalas sleep for 18 to 22 hours. It’s said this is due to toxins in their main food, eucalyptus leaves. Detoxifying these substances in their bodies takes time and energy, which is why they sleep for such long periods.
What is the fastest-running animal in the world?
- cheetah
- Lion
- Kangaroo
See the answer
cheetah
Cheetahs can run at 100–120 kilometers per hour, making them the fastest land animals. Speeds of 100–210 kilometers per hour would even exceed cars on a highway, right? However, this is only their top speed when sprinting, so they do not maintain this pace all the time.
What is the tallest tower in Japan?
- Tokyo Skytree
- Tokyo Tower
- Kyoto Tower
See the answer
Tokyo Skyslee
Tokyo Skytree stands 634 meters tall, making it the tallest self-supporting broadcasting tower in the world. There’s a reason for the 634 meters: it’s a wordplay on “Musashi,” the old provincial name that covered what is now Tokyo and parts of Saitama and Kanagawa. The numbers 6-3-4 can be read as “mu-sa-shi” in Japanese, hence the choice of 634 meters.
What produces the largest flower in the world?
- Titanbicus
- Sunflower
- Rafflesia
See the answer
Rafflesia
Rafflesia grows wild in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia and produces enormous flowers that can reach about one meter in diameter. Its flowers are much larger than those of the other options. It has a distinctive odor, emitting a smell like rotting meat to attract insects.

Mr./Ms. Tanaka (National Surname (Family Name) Rankings | Myoji-Yurai.net）
Along with the top three surnames, Tanaka is also commonly cited as a classic. Comparing Ito in fifth place with Tanaka, there’s a difference of just under 300,000 people, so you could say that from Sato in first place through Tanaka in fourth are the quintessential high-population surnames.
What is the number-one favorite tea?
- Green tea
- matcha
- barley tea
See the answer
Green tea
Green tea is a tea commonly enjoyed in daily life, so it seems many people like it. The ranking continues with black tea in second place and roasted green tea (hojicha) in third, but in fact they all come from the same tea leaves. Differences in the manufacturing process—such as fermenting the same leaves or roasting them at high temperatures—change the flavor.
