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

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Completely flunked today's. My average is close to eight but brain freeze meant only 5/10 on a quiz that many seemed to find fairly reasonable. Ouch!
