    The famed Olympic 'five rings' symbol is actually 6 rings, but one is always the same colour as the background. This represents the 'invisible' challenge of unforeseeable elements that can arise in any sporting competition.

    World War I never happened. It is an entirely fictional war created by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton in 1989 for the sitcom Blackadder Goes Forth.

    However, since then, the majority of people, including a number of historians specialising in the war, have believed it to have been real.

    This mistake has even led to the real first (and only) World War of 1939-1945 (known as simply "The World War" or "The Great War" between 1939 and 1989) now commonly being referred to as "World War II."
