3. Edible fungus
Answer: Mushroom
Mushrooms are an edible fungus, that when cooked add umami to any dish. Of course some mushrooms are poisonous, so you don't want to add those to your dish. There are over 14,000 known species of mushroom, but scientists believe there are millions of species of fungi out there in the world.
Other types of edible fungus include truffles, which are technically mushrooms that grow underground, and nutritional yeast.
4. Mexican artist
Answer: Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo is a legendary Mexican artist, known for her self-portraits, celebration of Mexican identity and art exploring feminine identity and sexuality. Kahlo suffered with a litany of debilitating health problems throughout her life, which were also explored in her art, and passed away in 1954 at the age of 47.
Other Mexican artists include the three legendary Mexican muralists known as "Los Tres Grandes". These three artists were Jose Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Kahlo's husband, Diego Rivera.
5. Radio soap opera
Answer: The Archers
"The Archers" is a BBC radio soap opera which began in 1951 detailing the lives of "everyday country folk" in the fictional village of Ambridge. It is the world's longest running drama, attracts millions of regular listeners and if you want to catch up from the beginning, you will have to work your way through over 20,000 episodes.
Another long-running radio soap opera is the Polish "Matysiakowie" which has aired weekly since 1956, which chronicles the lives of the Matysiak family in Warsaw, Poland.
6. Street artist
Answer: Banksy
Banksy is a British street artist who mainly displays stencilled graffiti art with social and political themes on public streets and walls. Banksy's identity has inspired much debate and speculation, with multiple UK tabloids and news agencies believing his name to be Robin Gunningham.
Other British street artists include Stik, Ben Eine and Bambi, but none have gained as much notoriety as Banksy.
7. Flying mammal
Answer: Bat
Bats are a winged mammal and account for 20% of all mammal species. Unlike birds they have mammary glands, hair and give birth to live young.
Unlike the vast majority of the other answers here, if you hear the term "flying mammal" as a contestant on The Chase you can be sure the answer will be a bat, as there are no other species of mammal capable of sustained flight. Mammals such as colugos and sugar gliders can catch and glide through the air, but cannot fly.
8. Cuban singer
Answer: Gloria Estefan
Gloria Estefan rose to prominence as the lead singer of Miami Sound Machine, before going solo to incredible success in 1989. Estefan is a five-time Grammy Award winner, and like Barbadian singer Rihanna, is one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
Other Cuban singers include Celia Cruz and Jon Secada.
9. Pop artist
Answer: Andy Warhol
Andy Warhol was an American pop artist whose iconic works such as "Campbell's Soup Can" and "Marilyn Diptych" made him one of the leading figures in the movement and one of the most iconic artists of all time.
