Snowy albatross is the official common name. I had to double check it though because I know it as the Wondering albatross.

Level 68

The common name of Diomedia exulans was changed to snowy albatross in 2017! Basically, what we knew as the wandering albatross was found out to be not one but four species, so they retired the name to avoid confusion.

“Ok, I’m going fast no matter what. No thinking. Just do it. Get a high score.” Immediately missed the first question even though it’s super easy.

First question is not super easy if you're not a native English speaker and not that into tennis. Even though "Deuce" comes originally from French, we (French) just call it "Égalité" when both players are tied.

I'm a native speaker of English but I still got it wrong. I don't play or follow tennis, but knew that love was a term used in the sport... not the correct term in this case, unfortunately.

Level 45

Yep, English isn't my native language and I couldn't give a damn about anything sports related. It's simply another random guess just like all of the other Western pop culture questions.

Also, last time I checked Lake Baikal is like 25 million years old? Not that fresh if you ask me!

Level 77

Oct 14, 2024

He should drop a new single

Level 55

Oct 15, 2024

Confused by that. I thought that the Caspian Sea was the largest lake in the world by far but maybe it's not fresh water.

Level 69

Oct 17, 2024

You checked 25 million years ago!?

Level 53

4/10 Back up to my average score on these Daily Quizzes.

Level 68

Oct 14, 2024

8/10. I have never seen Legally Blonde and totally didn't think about Lake Baikal. Thought of the Caspian Sea, but that would be surface area

Level 64

Oct 14, 2024

caspian is salt water

Level 47

Oct 14, 2024

8/10 - never seen Legally Blonde and kicked myself about the albatross.

Level 64

Oct 14, 2024

9/10. Woohoo. Show biz not my forté

Level 60

Oct 14, 2024

Ecuador is misspelled in the final question.

Level 88

Oct 14, 2024

10/10, 9892. Best score ever. So intense. Still waiting for my heart rate to come down. The time element is the challenge for me. I make stupid mistakes by trying to be fast. Not today, though… today is a good day.

Level 89

Oct 14, 2024

9/10, got a lucky guess with Legally Blonde but then immediately messed it up by going against my gut for the lakes question 😅

Level 62

Oct 14, 2024

10/10, 9912! Best score so far.

Level 75

A fun fact about St. Nicholas is that he may have attended the First Council of Nicaea, where he (apocryphally) slapped Arius across the face.

Level 61

Oct 14, 2024

Ecuador is misspelled on number 10. I almost missed my own question :D
