LIFESTYLE - Durban teacher Fawzia Amojee aka Fifo's latest batch of puzzles and brainteasers are in! 

What started off as quizzes that she would send to her students on WhatsApp, has fast become widely shared activities to help keep families going during lockdown.

These are some of the questions in Fifo's latest challenge: A gang of thieves is the collective noun. What is the collective noun for employees? What is a male camel called? What is the currency of Brazil ? Where in the world is the city San Francisco (which country)? What is the colour mustard? Fish n chips… black and white… bread and? Who painted the famous Mona Lisa? 10. Which animal makes a bleating sound? Who was the son of David (Dawood AS)? 

Can you crack these quizzes?
