Hello, smarty pants, and welcome to Trusty Trivia Thursday. Today, we're diving deep to meet the unicorn narwhals. Before we get to the trivia, a big shout out to Nolan in Santa Monica, California. We hear you love learning in your sleep to who's smarted. And here I was thinking that this was my dream job. Keep on snoring and smarting, my smarty friend. And now, let's ride the waves into some narwhal knowledge.

First question. What is a narwhal's tusk, actually? Is it A, a tooth, B, a horn, or C, a fancy straw? Did you say A? Tusk, tusk? You got it! A narwhal's tusk is actually a long, spiraled tooth that can grow up to 10 feet. Next question. Where do narwhals live? Is it A, the Arctic Ocean, B, the Pacific Ocean, or C, the neighborhood swimming pool?

Did you choose A? You are making waves. Narwhals live in the icy waters of the Arctic near Canada, Greenland, and Russia. Last question. How do narwhals find food? A. They use echolocation. B. They use maps. C. They ask for directions politely. Did you choose A?

Well done. Narwhals use echolocation, like dolphins, to find fish and squid in the dark Arctic waters. Swimmingly smart, smarty pants. Join us next Thursday for more deep sea discoveries on Trusty Trivia. Oh, and if you want to learn more about narwhals, check out our narwhals episode in the Who Smarted archives. Keep on smarting, keep on having fun.

Hey parents, Trusty here with something really smart for your smarty pants. I've got nieces, nephews, and close family friends, some homeschooled, some traditional school, and lately there's one tool they all seem to be using, iXL.

One of my nephews was really struggling with reading comprehension. His parents tried IXL, and within a couple of weeks, he was not only keeping up, he was excited to read. Then my niece, who's super into math, started exploring topics way beyond her grade level. That's the beauty of IXL. It's flexible. Kids can move at their own pace in any subject across any grade.

A friend's daughter loves the instant feedback and little rewards. It's fun, not stressful. And the parents, they love how easy it is to find the exact topic they're covering that week.

I Excel is organized, saves them time, and actually helps the kids feel more confident. If you're homeschooling or just want to supplement what your child is learning in traditional school, I Excel is a game changer. Get 20% off at I Excel dot com slash smarted with the code smarted.

I think part of me was waiting for the perfect moment or thought I needed to hire someone or take a design course or something. Total nonsense, because then I tried Squarespace. And yeah, I was hooked in an hour.

Squarespace is this all-in-one platform that makes it ridiculously easy to bring an idea to life online, whether you're starting a business, launching a project, or just want to finally claim your little corner of the internet. I used it to build a clean professional site in a weekend. No coding, no overwhelm, just drag, drop, done.

I used their Blueprint AI tool to start, and it generated a smart, customized layout just from a few questions about what we do. So if you've been waiting to launch your site, this is your sign. Head to squarespace.com slash smarted for a free trial. And when you're ready to launch, use code SMARTED to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain. Too small.
