Just about managed another 10/10, although I had originally intended to go to sleep and sober up first 😂 Not my greatest time but very happy with the result all things considered

Also, QM, there's a typo in question 3, it should be "is" named, not "in"

Dang, slipped up on the last one and I knew it. Would’ve been a decent score.

Saw rough scores on the leaderboard and was worried. I got very lucky for the most part. I knew Mandalay was on the west coast of the Indochina peninsula, but guessed wrong. But then I guessed the divorcee over Charles II, and some of the other hard ones I know from my job… or I made the question!! 😈

How does everybody know the rainbow thing? Is it famous worldwide? I’ve never heard of it.

Answer: Yes. Very common/well known at least in Western culture. Seems like every little kid knows that fairytale

Well, maybe not every little kid in Western culture (outside of US, UK and of course Ireland), but as some point in your life you're likely to encounter some cartoons, books or any other media that references the pot of gold.

Ok thanks to both of you for the reply. If any French Jetpunker see this comment, can he tell me if it’s also common knowledge in our country?

The US is defacto "Western Culture". I'd go with 90% US contribution, 10% other majority-caucasian countries

French here, it really depends in France whether in your family or at school you heard a version of the pot of gold folk story (chaudron plein d'or) and leprechauns. Sometimes some kids cartoons mention it also. So, what I said earlier: it's not every child who will know about it, but it's very likely that at some point you will hear some reference to it, sometimes very early at school, sometimes very late during a St Patrick pub crawl.

I don't know that fairytale but it was once shown in Spongebob or Cosmo & Wanda.

9/10 I somehow thought Neanderthals survived the ice age, so guessed 4000 instead of 40,000.

But I’m sure I read somewhere recently that they just bread with Homo sapiens and so their distinctive characteristics tended to disappear over generations…

Not a good day. Only got 6. All I know is that Neanderthals haven't been around for a long time. A long time ago should have been the answer:)

10/10, so glad to have guess correctly (well, sort of, more that I wasn't 100% sure I remembered correctly) for Edward VIII... and for the whelk thing. I don't really deserve it but I'll take it anyway! : D

Now that I think of it. Edward VIII not being on the pound sterling makes a lot of sense. Probably had something to do with the Wallis Simpson scandal and his short reign due to his abdication.

Yeah that's exactly it, they didn't have time to enter circulation. Most of the ones that were minted got melted down when he abdicated, and the few that remain in existence are mostly in the hands of collectors. Apparently one sold for over $2,000,000 a few years ago!

Judging by the neanderthal answer distribution, we should be spending a lot more time on history

Am I the only one to have doubts about old Osama? I mean, it’s not like we have any reason to doubt the official claim, the USA having such a long and unblemished history in foreign affairs. So let’s drop the body in the sea anyway, so nobody can ever prove their identity, or what did or didn’t happen. Imagine telling the police you’d disposed of a body like that! I’m sure they’d have no further questions, and would happily take your word for it…
