There’s no way nearly 60% of people know where the pope lived at some random time in the 1300s.

The antipopes of Avignon are common knowledge for those who are familiar with European medieval history. Also, there are some French people here ;)

It is very common knowledge to whoever studies medieval history or art history. I'm sure most Europeans knew it without even thinking.

It's not that he just lived somewhere, but it was the official residence of several popes for a while. And it was the only other city besides Rome/Vatican that ever was an official residence of the pope.

Now, I don't remember why the pope moved and if asked, I might have guessed the century wrong, but I would have known Avignon - even, if it hadn't been multiple choice.

Question two has only one answer that is less than half of 88, so it was actually quite easy, you didn't have to know the actual number.

I think questions 1-4 were pushing it for 'general knowledge'. Obviously, getting a 10/10 should be hard to get, but possible.

There being less black keys than white keys on a piano is definitely general knowledge. You don't need to know more than that because only one of the options is less than half of 88.

The Olympic answer similarly might not be a famous event but knowing the other 3 options aren't track and field is general knowledge, so you can do it by process of elimination.

so knowing what "track and field" means and that there are 88 keys on a piano is now considered general knowledge?

Well 88 was given if you read the question, and I would say that knowing what track and field is absolutely qualifies as general knowledge.

Track and Field is a very basic term in athletics, I'd wager 90%+ would have got the question right if 100m or long jump was an option. Even with the more obscure steeplechase as the right answer 62% knew it.

If you've never heard of Track and Field that's fine (I've certainly missed some questions 90% of the site knew the answer to before) but you personally not knowing it doesn't change the fact it's well known.

Track and field is what Americans call athletics. It is generally understood elsewhere because the meaning is fairly obvious.

9/10, the vowel question got me because I thought of the 'wa' letter in Arabic which can be use both as a long vowel (u sound) or a consonant (w).

3,957, worst score ever. I'm kinda suspicious of the high averages, but they're probably just categories I'm not familiar with. Or Euro-centric

We don't get the "this is your X worst-ranking score" message? :/

Probably for the best we dont get that message

Also i agree with you even though i got 8/10 most of them were just process of elimination or educated guesses. Then again most of the time if i was to only get points on the ones im sure about then i would get 3-5 instead of my usual 6-8

Are there any hardcore horse girls here?

I thought someone told me once that dressage was technically not dancing

AI is telling me horse dancing may be "equestrian vaulting" (humans dancing or doing gymnastics, while riding horses). But also "equestrian ballet" (which is a common name for dressage)

FWIW I don't think "dancing" comes up in dressage sites like:

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

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

https://www.usef.org/compete/disciplines/dressage

https://www.usdf.org/about/about-dressage/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdQirzu3Wa4

After watching a video of someone unmistakably describing horse dancing for 3 minutes, but taking care to never once use the word "dance", my curiosity is piqued

"Musical freestyle performance" seems like an awfully composed way of going around your elbow to get to your reins

That's a fair mistake to make, the Track version of the sport is actually based on the horse version. I think someone just watched the horse steeplechase and thought "we should make humans do that".

Technically the arabic leter و ‎(waw) is used both as a consonant /w/ and a vowel /u/. Of course Welsh is a much more intuitive answer since it uses the Latin alphabet.

In addition to the previous comment about Arabic waw being a vowel, Wikipedia notes that Romanian ⟨w⟩ may be pronounced as /u/ in some contexts.
