I mean, it is a trivial question, I myself missed it, but it’s because I wasn’t sure who it was. I’m sure it won’t be “difficult” to one’s who know these prominent figures.

Catharine of Aragon was Henry VIII's first wife. To keep the fates of his wives straight just remember:

Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.

It's very easy if you're British, everyone learns about Henry VIII at school so it was obvious that Catherine was the right answer (who he divorced). Now the Americans know how we feel when a question about US presidents comes up!

Congrats! New high score for me today, though not as high as yours. Bruxism and the beheading questions were both educated guesses, so happy I chose the right narrowed down options.

Wow, that's 10 points clear of my best score, you must have been rapid! But yeah I've noticed the same thing since I switched to phone, really saves time not having to move a mouse around, although my recent times haven't been as fast as I think they could be

Didn't know about bruxism until a family member was prescribed a plastic mouth-guard. Mouth-guards are not cheap; each one is custom-made from a mould of one's teeth. One wears it at night, to prevent one from grinding one's enamel to smithereens in one's sleep!

To be obnoxiously pedantic, the periodic table has 118 "named" elements per the IUPAC. I assume researchers are still looking to synthesize element 119 and beyond.

Invalid pedantry detected! The periodic table does not contain theoretical future elements.

I thought I learned that the (common) periodic table had considered potential (yet undiscovered) elements, in its structure.

But apparently that's not the case, as there's an Extended Periodic Table, with something like 172 elements in consideration

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table

Maybe some Chemist is more familiar with the future likelihoods

@rabble

The table we are familiar with used to have "placeholder" elements to fill out the seventh period (e.g. element 118 was "ununoctium" until it was synthesized and named oganesson), but now all of the elements through the seventh period have been synthesized and named.

Wow thanks for the link to the extended periodic table! I'd never given much thought to the future structure of the table before. I like the first Kulsha method best, I think

Poor marine iguanas! :)

I had to see for myself...and they're sorta cute in that ugly dog way, and they have really cool iguana skills.

Why did Darwin have to be such a hater?

The question about cardinal direction is amazing!

But I've missed the 10/10; saw Dolly Parton, clicked Jolene, then read the entire question, finally facepalmed...
