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!
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
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.)
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?
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!
