Aww man, that would've been a new personal best for me if I hadn't hesitated on the last question, but I almost second-guessed myself when I saw caves was an option 😂

Nice. But probably even fewer people realize that "I knew him well" is not in the soliloquy. It's VERY commonly misquoted as "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him well," whereas the real quote is "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy..." (It goes on)

10/10, thanks to some educated guesses. While not unique, I don't get full marks very often, yet this result isn't even in my top 10. I blame it on question 5, which took me ages to figure out.

HP Lovecraft saved me on Q10, never heard the word before but it sounded a lot like Cthulhu so made an educated guess.

8/10! Should've been 9 but I went too quickly on Hamlet and mixed it up with the Scottish Play. And a total guess on Press Gangs - Still, best score in a while!

Apparently, many are in a similar state. Not only was the correct response not most guessed; it was in third place, with only 27% !

It seems quite a few of us thought that 'press gangs' had their origins with the press. I certainly thought that.
