I missed that last one, too. I knew all the previous ones (somewhat confidently). It took me way too long to shake Turkish loose from the recesses of my brain considering I made a quiz called “Belgium… or Yogurt” a month ago and DEFINITELY looked up the etymology of both. 😂

8/10, I don't know about playwrights, and I have never heard Coldplay's Yellow

No, I think Aenin wrote that exactly how they meant to. Like McKenzie, they didn't know the answer to either question, but got lucky on one of them and therefore got 9/10.

'Yellow' is a great song. I saw Coldplay perform that song in concert at the Buddokan in Japan. It was fabulous.

Specific questions about the US are tough as I don't live there and have only made a few tourist trips. What is Area 51?

Supposedly where the US Government keeps secret stuff like alien spaceships, etc

If I recall correctly, a bunch of Redditors tried to storm it earlier this year for some reason

It wasn't earlier this year. It was 2019. And nothing much came of it. But while I think the alien claims of Area 51 are fake, there's a part of me that thinks the US government *is* hiding something there.

Of course they are hiding something there. It's a secret base. Everything on it is hidden by definition.

It's probably really a missile base.

9/10 - aaah got Triton (Neptune) mixed up with Titan (the largest moon of Saturn)!

Dec 7, 2024
Funny enough, someone questioning me calling the trident a weapon on a quiz got me to read the Wikipedia page for trident. There, I saw that Triton was a sea god related to Poseidon, so I figured it probably was Neptune’s moon. Otherwise I bet I would’ve guessed Saturn, too!

That's how I remember Triton is Neptune's moon - sounds like Trident, Neptune's weapon.

I was one of the 3% that went for Uranus, for some reason I thought Triton sounded like a Shakespeare character (which a lot of Uranus's moons are named after).

There's Titania, a moon of Uranus.

Nooo 3/10 bahaha. I would’ve known the answer to most of them if I actually stopped to think about it. Actually, no, I wouldn’t have 😅
