What is the fastest wind gust ever measured?

408 km/h. Cyclone Olivia's 1996 gust on Australia's Barrow Island out-paced Japan's fastest bullet trains.

How close would your guess have been?

In the game we ask it like this: “The fastest wind gust ever measured on Earth blew at how many km/h?”

Type a number — scored exactly the way a round in the game is.

The answer

408km/h
