Should not have missed 9. Was thinking egg had a homophone something along the likes of “egg someone on,” though I don’t know why I picked Lynx, which is so obviously Links, instead.

7/10, besides for 9 I missed 4 and 8.

still beat me

Level 54

May 28, 2024

I missed 8, 4, and 10. 8 I definitely shouldn’t have missed, but 4 and 10 I had no idea.

The last question is misleading. The first dollar coins were minted in 1520 in Bohemia. The Spanish piece of eight or peso was first minted in 1497, but Spanish pesos were not initially referred to as dollars. They only got their English name after dollars from other countries, which had a similar shape and value as the peso had become popular.

How did you wind up with that knowledge?

God damn you, Ashton Kutcher.

I love the question about actors (and actresses actually), because the four people mentioned are connected by love relations (even marriage):

Willis - Moore

Kutcher - Moore

Kutcher - Kunis

Funnily enough, they were born in FOUR different decades:

Willis: *1955

Moore: *1962

Kutcher: *1978

Kunis: *1983

Thank you for noticing!

The gymnastics confused me initially: I was looking for a usually women-only apparatus, rather than the only one on the list that's not men-only (in Olympics and similar competitions).

Level 74

May 28, 2024

I think it ought to be beam rather than vault - I've definitely seen men compete at the vault.

Level 83

May 28, 2024

Yes, vault and floor are competed by both men and women. Beam and uneven bars are usually women-only competitions, so I was expecting the options to include one of those.

Level 83

May 28, 2024

The phrasing of the question could have been clearer. "[G]enerally considered a women's event..." leads the reader to think that men would not compete in that event. QM likely intended the ambiguity though.

Another tricky one for me today, 8/10, 7,924.

The 1970s one caught me off guard for sure, had no idea, and the gymnastics one too (although I can see from the analytics I'm not alone on that one haha)

Looks like so far nobody on my friends list has gotten 10/10 on this one though so I don't feel too bad haha

Level 95

May 28, 2024

Neither has anyone on mine, and I have a pretty long friends list. Today was just harder in general.

Level 54

May 28, 2024

The gymnastics one I got because I have random knowledge about that sort of stuff from Ian Gunther’s YouTube page. I only got 7 though, I got 4, 8, and 10 wrong.

I'm a little surprised so many people think Bruce Willis was born in the 70's. Maybe it's a case of picking the most famous name you see when you don't really know any of them very well.

Level 54

May 28, 2024

I guessed him because I didn’t recognize any of the names but him.

Level 64

May 28, 2024

Or we’ve heard of the names and nothing else. Just because something is "popular" does not mean there still aren’t people with zero interest in it.

There’s also the element that a quiz that rewards more points for fast answers inherently incentivises arbitrary guessing when you already know you have no way of actually knowing the answer.

Level 89

May 28, 2024

I knew it wasn't Willis but I went for Demi Moore, I didn't realise how much older than me Ashton Kutcher is XD
