Back to 10/10! A couple there I had to think hard about, especially the Rand one, but 9910 feels like a solid score

very well done indeed!

i failed on Rand, never actually heard of them, and of course Frankenstein was the answer to #10 but Jules Verne just felt older for some reason

I knew Rand McNally from The Simpsons. Bart called Australia, then looked at a globe to locate Australia and thought Rand McNally was a country because of the manufacturer's logo.

I KNEW I'd seen it somewhere! I very nearly went for power tools but there was a little voice in the back of my head that said it had something to do with maps 😅

Can't blame you there haha, Rand is definitely niche, and the book one was another of the ones that took me a moment, but for me it was the Oscar Wilde one I wasn't sure about (which it turns out was a lot later than I thought, for some reason I always think Wilde was earlier than he actually was 😅)

I think this might be an age thing. I knew Rand McNally immediately. But, I lived in an era before GPS.

I thought everyone would have gotten Rand, because of all the geography quizzes on JetPunk. But then I have to remember that “kids these days” have probably never held a paper map. I need to go lie down now.

I'm a "kid these days," I love paper maps and got the Rand question, we're not all screenagers

Woah, weird. I am working on a … quiz… where users have to identify the non-Greek letter, and I picked the same Cyrillic letter you did as the outlier.

There's a generational thing going on with the Rand McNally question. Back in the day, nobody ever set out on a family road trip without a trusty Rand McNally Road Atlas on the front seat of the station wagon!

Sounds quite geographically specific to the US as well. At the risk of being that "ugh, too US-centric" post when the answer is still knowable if you pay attention to the world, this seems to be not that, and something that you'll have only come across if you lived there at a certain time. I'm happy to be corrected, but we never had anything of the sort in Australia or the UK.

I only knew it because of the Simpsons episode from the 90s. That’s the real generational effect!

8944 missed Rand McNally, probably would've been my highest score ever if I'd gotten that one

Woohoo! Finally cracked 9900. I'm not a fast reader and when I focus on speed, I very often make wrong choices. So it took a while, but I made it. I think I was helped by questions that were fairly short, on average, in this quiz. It will still be surprising if I stay in the top half of my leaderboard though. Currently 4th with 9905.

Was debating between Journey to the Center of the Earth and Frankenstein. Ended up picking the wrong one :(

As a millennial Australian, the only way I'd ever know the Rand McNally question is because of The Simpsons 😂
