Here’s a quiz with a difference, one that will test your memory and the things you believe to be true - and it’s all based around something called the Mandela Effect.

The Mandela Effect is a supposed ‘fact’ that isn’t true at all, but it’s so widely misremembered that it’s come to be accepted as fact. The naming of the phenomenon comes from South African anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela. For some reason many people think he died while he was in prison in the 1980s, but he actually died over 20 years later in 2013.
