I thought Netflix because of lockdown, forgot video gaming. Also had no idea about MJ's family, giving me a solid 8/10

Had they had other choices, i wouldn't have got MJ's siblings. But, there was the Jackson 5 and Janet and Latoya weren't part of that, and 9 was the only answer of more than 4.

It wasn't even related to video gaming. The stock went up because of a short squeeze

Ok thank you! In french it's the same word "sanguin" which is "Quick to get angry, to burst into flames". When I first checked the translation it gave me the french meaning... I was really confused!!

The canal question is fun, and the results are surprising. They didn't call the Erie Canal Clinton's Big Ditch for nothing! Good questions today.

Misread 'increased' as 'decreased'. Almost clicked on GameStop too but then changed my answer at the last second. Sucks because I actually remember that happening, so I would've gotten the answer if I read it right :/

As a non-American, I'm blaming my failure on the canal question on Bruce Springsteen's version of Erie Canal (originally Low Bridge) which definitely contains the repeated lyric 'fifteen miles on the Erie Canal'!

To be fair, it also mentions from 'Albany to Buffalo' but I had no idea how far apart they are: I thought Bruce and his mule Sal were walking back and forth the whole length every day!
