"has" is strange wording for the Elo question because it's in the present tense; the player in question has *the record for* the highest Elo of all time, but does not currently have 2882 Elo; they're down to (as of writing) 2831. It'd be more accurate to say "achieved the highest Elo rating of all time."

And, for bonus technicality points, the question is only correct if it refers to FIDE classical rankings.

8/10 for me. I've barely even heard of Chappell Roan so I wouldn't have expected to get that one, but I have no idea what kind of brainfart caused me to mess up the Africa question, I must be more tired than I thought 😅

It’s also discouraging to think for a full thirty seconds and count countries on your fingers to just not count Morocco.

It was Tunisia I forgot about, one of those where I realised my mistake the instant my finger touched the answer

6/10, I blame my misses on not being USian: not knowing the US Poker players names, the US pop singers' specific song, the US poets and their works... and, well, no, the chess question is on me (I hesitated between Kasparov and Carlsen, and chose wrongly).

Well, I must admit I knew JFK airport. Thanks to movies and news, and also cause I flew there once. I don't say that I don't know anything about the US... just that many of the questions I miss are about the US culture :)

I live in New York and prefer flying from JFK, but I almost got that question wrong because it wrote his name out as "John F. Kennedy." It took me a full ten seconds to realize that means JFK! Turns out he was a person too, not just an airport!
