Default Free Database of numbers

I seek a database for a program that contains creative commons licensed or public domain data.
The data should be out of a variety of different types that the user can guess.

The data should be of a type where few people know the exact number out of their head but it should be possible to guess and not totally abstact.
If I ask people for example about the number of cells in the human body most people would have no reference data to make a prediction.
An example would be world records.

Where should I look for something like this?

Yes, but the numbers don't have to be large, the answer just has to be a number.

At best there shouldn't a a strucutre that allows you to answer that type of question better by knowing the answer to a few of them.

These are to point you in the right direction, as it may take some time to find exactly what you are looking for.
