A new month and we’re not stopping with the daily quiz. In the daily quiz of January 1, 2026, we are looking for different names for Blümchenkaffee and the Brachiosaurus. The Nordic “Grööner Hein” is also in demand. Would you like to start the 10 quiz questions?
Anyone who had this type of coffee this morning may not be in a particularly good mood for the daily quiz of January 1, 2026. That’s because we’re asking for a name that also passes for floral coffee. Anyone who can see the bottom of the cup through the drink, which in some cases is decorated with flowers, now also knows where the German term “Blümchenkaffee” comes from.
We still have many more quizzes
In the daily quiz of January 1, 2026, we are also looking for a video game published in 2000 in which players simulate the daily lives of the game characters. They make decisions, talk to other players and slowly build a world of their own. Real-time strategy meets daily soap and keeps a large fan base going for years.
Another quiz question deals with the most important film award in the world. Which director was the first woman to win an Oscar in the Best Director category in 2008? In the meantime, three women have already taken home the trophy, but this is very, very poor for a period of 95 years. So to all cinephiles: Who did the 2008 Oscar for Best Director go to?
Let’s stay with the movie, because the term we are looking for appears in an animated children’s film classic and a cartoon series, and we also see the animal in Jurassic Park. What do children also call Brachiosaurus dinosaurs? Incidentally, a full-grown Brachiosaurus weighed up to 30 tons, but was a herbivore.
Finally, we take a look at the north of Germany and the dishes there. Which dish is behind a Nordic “Grööner Hein”? Depending on the region, there are also other names, such as Grönen Heini or Gröön Hinnerk. The dish is served when the pears are ripe in August and September.
How good is your general knowledge? Test it in the daily quiz of January 1, 2026 and answer the 10 quiz questions correctly. Then you’ll forget all about bad coffee.
