I’m pretty sure question 4 is wrong. Mirth is closest to joy, not anger.

So sorry about that. Fixed.

Yes, that mad me so mad! But I feel wonderful now that you've fixed it.

Dang. I’m not feeling a lot of mirth about that question having a mistake.

Or, perhaps you are, if you go by the question's previous incorrect definition

Sisyphus was the least guessed answer for 10, internet culture probably impacted this question a decent amount, considering that Atlas and Prometheus were more guessed. Sisyphus probably would have been guessed more had it not been for the memes revolving around his punishment.

I think Prometheus would have been guessed more if he weren’t one of the main characters in the new show, Kaos, experiencing endless torture. That’s how I ruled him out!

What? Literally everyone knows that Prometheus has his liver eaten to this very day...

some surprisingly don't, 13%, seems to me that the people who play dtc first are more competent

Last year I read my kids the Percy Jackson series and Agamemnon was the only one not to come up. So an educated guess.

Yeah, Sisyphus has to roll a boulder uphill forever, Prometheus is chained to a rock having his liver eaten, and Atlas has to support the earth.

Atlas is actually supporting the sky, not the Earth (though that is indeed how he's commonly depicted in later artworks.)

All the world's cattle. I guess that makes sense

I'm not sure why I knew that one but when I saw that option something just clicked and I knew I'd seen it before somewhere. I think it must have been from my years of reading Wilbur Smith books growing up haha

I got 7 out of 10. I thought German just had the same alphabet as English. And all the cattle in the world seems a bit excessive.

It does, because ß isn't actually part of the alphabet. It's a ligature, not a letter, meaning that it was actually formed from and represents the combination of two other letters (in this case, "ss" or "sz".) It's similar to how you sometimes see "æ" in English representing "ae," or how the Latin word "et," meaning "and," turned into the symbol "&," but "æ" and "&" aren't considered part of the English alphabet. (Though, to be fair, there was a period in the 1800s when "&" was taught as the 27th letter of the alphabet.)

I think it should be Eastern Africa, without the 'n' on the end.

Woohoo, I'm on a roll, that's 3 days in a row 😁 Some dastardly ones in the second half again though, a little warning in the back of my head told me not to pick Cologne for question 7, but I couldn't tell you what the building was, I'm guessing a church?

yes it’s the Cologne Cathedral and it’s absolutely stunning

9/10....luckily I took the quiz after the 'mirth' question was fixed, missed the German alphabet

Missed the Maasai people question

RIP

8/10 - tall buildings and Maasai caught me out. I suddenly thought that Moscow’s St Basil’s cathedral could be way older that Cologne cathedral…and Chicago while it does have tall

buildings I assumed was always second place to a building in New York!

The Maasai question could really use an explanation note at quiz end
