Question 10: Take the amount in dollars a first edition of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of the Species" just fetched at a U.K. auction, and multiply by the Apple iPhone's share of global data traffic, according to AdMob. Add the first week's worth of unit sales for Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 2. Put that on an island near the equator and wait for it to evolve. What do you get?

Correct Answer: 1,685,500

Darwin's 1859 classic -- kept on a bathroom bookshelf for decades -- sold for $171,000 this week. Per the newly Google-fied AdMob, the iPhone commanded 50 percent of all global cellular data traffic last month. Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed sequel sold 1.6 million copies in its first week, assassinating the record set by the original console game. So 171K * 0.5 + 1.6M = 1,685,500. Come back next week for an ever-evolving quiz.
