Ever looked at your partner mid-conversation and thought, “Am I the clever one here?” Maybe it was during a trivia game, an intense debate about who left the stove on, or a casual chat about space-time theories, or reality TV facts. Whatever sparked the thought, you’re not alone!

The 'Are You Cleverer Than Your Partner' quiz isn’t here to start a domestic feud (we promise).
