9/10, kicking myself for not spotting the astroturfing clue 😂 Took ages to work out the coordinates one as well, as that's the one area of geography where I really struggle

I missed the same clue! I did get the coordinates one fairly quickly due to childhood curiosity - but it would have been nice to get another 10/10 and boost my average.

I’m right there with you on the astroturf question. That and the last question had clues to deduce the answer, but it took my brain a looong time to kick in on them.

I guessed and got it right, based on the phrase "everything is bigger in Texas." But I didn't get them all.

ahh 8/10

probably would have gotten the turf one if I'd thought a bit harder, or noticed the word Astro in the name.

The 'Astro'-clue wasn't in the original question but added as explanation after the reveal. Otherwise it would have helped me a lot, as I wasn't familiar with the term 'Astroturf'.

I knew the word but didn't think about it... :(

Maybe it's a British thing but it's a very common word here. Might be because we don't just use it for sports here, lots of people use Astroturf for their gardens.

UPFs like Diet Coke are safe for human consumption if you consider getting prediabetes 'safe'. It's got no sugar, but the acid will still erode your teeth.

8795, over thought the aspartame question by thinking "Diet Coke has a lot of chemicals, but on the other hand aspartame has 'part' in the name and non-stick materials help you keep things apart, so it must be nonstick cookware".
