Could have had a 10/10 today but rushed the questions. Missed the UN one, and the Jupiter one. Really kicking myself now

Quizmaster, perhaps what would make this better is having a Reply button appear upon completion, like other quizzes have. A Share button could be useful too if you're sharing off-site, but the Replay would be nice.

Thank you!

I didn't even know there was breakdancing at the Olympics. I guess they're trying to attract a younger audience? I thought breakdancing was for 30-50 year olds & had died down

Maybe she's half the reason it was axed for LA 2028? Made a mockery of the whole thing.

It wasn’t going to be at the LA games anyway

Breaking was to not be included in the 2028 games before the breaking in 2024 even started.

I thought the mockery started with the opening ceremony in 2024. It looks like there's been things like Mountain Biking, Trampoline, BMX Racing, Rugby, Golf, Skateboarding, Climbing, Surfing, and Breakdancing, over the last few decades. I can imagine some of these in Red Bull style events. But I guess merit and organized sporting committees are rarely found together.

rabble - I don’t see how any of the sports you listed are any less real or merit-based than say gymnastics or figure skating, which have been inarguable Olympics staples for decades.

I'm referring to the selection process & history of IOC corruption + scandals

I have a hard time imaging some of these sports in a Olympic setting. And I watch some of them from time to time, like mountain biking, golf, climbing, surfing... I mean there's entertainment, and then there's a global convention to suss out peak human performance.

It's actually the first time it's been at the Olympics. New sports are introduced sometimes, and depending on how it goes, they can become Olympic sports permanently.

Wow, that 10/10 feels a little lucky. I guessed importer/exporter because I felt Seinfeld would reference James Bond in how Art Vandelay was sometimes an importer/exporter. Then I took forever on the colours because I couldn’t remember K and couldn’t think of a colour that fit K! Went with my vague memories of the 90s though.

I'm pretty sure Bond was an architect :)

And that addition to the Guggenheim didn’t take him very long, either.

“Universal Exports” is the cover name for MI6 in the films/books that Bond often says he works for.

(He does use “ornithologist” as a cover briefly in Die Another Day though. And he says he’s a reporter in A View to a Kill at least.)

Apparently the K stands for "key", which is even more confusing 😂

Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black as the Key color. :)

9/10, I could have swear that James Bond was impersonating a reporter, but I guessed I was thinking of OSS 117 / Noël Flantier in OSS 117: Lost in Rio :(

Woohoo, got my 6th best score of all time with 9926 😁🎉

Did they really call it "breaking" as opposed to "breakdancing" btw? I didn't watch it, just heard the news stories about it 😂

Yes, they did. Apparently that's the current terminology that we oldsters have to adapt to.

But it's pretty standard linguistic evolution, really.

Yeah it almost threw me reading the question because I knew the answer but the word wasn't the one I was expecting haha; "breaking" conjures images of competitive destruction of property - an Olympic sport I think I'd be pretty good at XD

Sometimes I just have to take my lumps on topics I haven't absorbed by osmosis and don't care to pursue. It's usually some element of pop culture - James Bond in this case. 9/10

In Classical Rome, they would have said "Iovis" instead of "Jove". This is just the genitive form of "Iuppiter" ("Jupiter"), and didn't really become an alternate name for the deity until the late antiquity/early Medieval period.

10/10 and my 7th highest score. James Bond one was a complete and total guess.

I answered the James Bond question correctly but he definitely claimed to be a bird photographer in Die Another Day. So I'd argue that question had 2 valid answers.
