well, 9/10. Really ought to have remembered that scuttling a boat wasn't just scrubbing off barnacles.

The same, again these english vocalubary -related questions make me sick, questions shouldn't require deep skills in any language

I would love to see a question that doesn't require deep knowledge in ANY language. There's probably a PhD in semiotics in it for you if you can come up with one.

Unfortunate that a whole category of questions makes you sick, but I feel English-language vocabulary questions are reasonable and valid for inclusion in a low-stakes daily trivia challenge on an English-language quiz site.

Watching any military history documentaries in English is also a way to learn about “scuttling”.

Oh dear, don't propose a challenge for alternate means of communication. We'll be getting interpretive dance gifs, monks meditating, and modern art

7/10 but got the first 6, then the concorde. One Direction and bildungsroman were weird

I don't think I've ever heard of a bildungsroman, and I'm a writer. All I knew was that "roman" has to do with stories or novels in French, so I guessed it worked in German too.

9/10 today... why the question on One Direction!? (just kidding, I accept this is one my flaws, not knowing a lot about bands)

Yep. I guessed Zayn Malik as I had heard of him so thought that he must have been in something good.

Shoutout to my daughters for going through their 1D phase in high school ... One of the few good things I got out of it was that I knew this answer. LOL

I swear Dimby, you always write the hardest questions!!! They always trip me up and keep me from getting a perfect score :)

I’m sorry… I just submit a million questions because I just throw in whatever pops into my brain throughout the day. Although I’ve tried to actively make my questions easier lately because I’ve notice my submissions have been sub-50% all too frequently.

I disagree, but if you feel strongly about it, you could submit your own questions for inclusion in future DTCs.

8/10 I'm showing my age by not knowing anyone from One Direction, the other guy who was the right answer, or for that matter any songs or albums by One Direction, or for that matter the other guy.

Plus of course I miss the sports one, even if it's about international relations. Sigh...

9/10 and I cannot believe I got the Taiwan one wrong, but I got a super lucky guess with the Vegas one so probably a fair score all things considered 😅

9/10, can't believe I got the quote wrong. I literally watched yesterday The Simpsons episode where Grandpa Simpson recounts how he discovered a "nazi" had infiltrated America and it flashes back to him listening to JFK giving this speech.

Stupidly clicked asyndeton on the last one even though I knew that was the intentional omission of conjunctions in rhetoric lol. Never heard of bildungsroman or whatever it was

I only knew that because I've been doing a reading challenge and bildungsroman was a category a few years ago and I had to ask what it was.
