9/10 - 10th best score - not bad. That quiz suited what I knew. The one I missed was the opponents to the Bolsheviks.

Level 66

Oct 28, 2024

My worst score ever, thats wild.

I made a similar fencing question earlier, but instead of rapier I had pentathlon. Oh well, looking back rapier is probably a better-suited answer.

Level 68

Oct 28, 2024

okay...looking back on this, I probably should have known that Proletariats v Bolsheviks wasn't right, but hey. Some lucky guesses on questions 2, 4, and 10 give me another 9. I'll take it

Level 61

Oct 28, 2024

Ohhh you could have got 10

Level 61

8/10 again, not bad

Level 68

I think it would've helped to know that Americans call "fleuret" foil....!! Why aren't epee and sabre translated but fleruet is?!

Level 60

Oct 28, 2024

Because these are the official names for it in Olympic fencing.

Level 89

It's not just the Americans, we use the same terms in Britain. Plus, sabre is the same word in English. Not sure how épée would translate though haha

Level 66

Oct 28, 2024

Epee quite literally translates to sword

Level 89

Oct 28, 2024

Oh wow, I didn't realise it was so simple haha, thank you!

Yeah that would definitely cause some confusion if they translated it then, "hang on, I thought they were *all* swords?" 😅

Level ∞

"Americans"

Level 89

Oct 28, 2024

10/10 on what look to have been some particularly tricky ones today, going by the averages so far! Only one I wasn't 100% certain on was Michelangelo's David but it was an educated guess with him being from Florence haha

Level 60

Oct 28, 2024

10/10, best score ever, and beating out 99 %. If I did not have to stop to read the fencing question properly and to think about the pen names, it could have been even faster.

Level 82

Oct 28, 2024

My best score too, and it says I beat 100%! Very pleased. No guessing, with just a bit of uncertainty about the fencing one.

I got confused on the question about Sibelius because I was thinking, “Wait, I could have sworn he was from Finland…” then I realized I’d overlooked that answer.

The less these questions are about current entertainment and sports, the better I’ll do.

Level 25

Oct 28, 2024

How does everyone know the capital of Albania??? Anyway 6/10

Level 85

Oct 28, 2024

Many jet-inkers know all world capitals, even of countries that aren't even countries (yet).

Level 85

Oct 28, 2024

9/10, got the sword one wrong (like 38% of us).

Level 61
