Dang. I knew all these 100% but my brain overheated or something on question 9 and I lost out on a high score. I’ll take my 7th best of all time gladly, though!

Same. I was trying to go fast and didn't read the date. Bolivia was the first answer and I went no further. Kicking myself.

I was so close. Narrowed #7 down to two but guessed wrong between them.

Last one was so specific, I still thought it too crazy though.

It’s based on a comic by Alison Bechdel. It’s amazing how many movies don’t pass even this incredibly low standard for female representation.

I don't think it's the best standard for female representation, and there are probably better methods. After all, movies like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Zero Dark Thirty, and Gravity, for example, all of which have strong female main characters, fail the test, while movies like Goodfellas, American Pie 2, and Twilight pass it.

But not in 1980, I was too excited to click that answer before realizing it was only post-1980

8/10 for me today. Didn't know about Solomon's wives. I *did* know Ethiopia lost its coastline to Eritrean independence, but I saw Bolivia as an option and locked in on it because of the War of the Pacific (which happened a full century earlier, oops 😅)

Also I really liked the themed answers to the Streetcar Named Desire question

Solomon's wives led him into worshipping idols, Frank. In fact, Solomon broke all three prohibitions for kings listed in the Pentateuch: too many wives, too much gold and too many chariots.

10/10 and my best score ever too. 9891.

9/10 because I didn't read the date of the country that became landlocked and just immediately thought of the War of the Pacific, so I was off by a century. D'oh!

I feel your pain 😅 Truly devious to include Bolivia as a decoy answer in a question about countries losing their coastline 😂

Indeed it was. I lost that one, as well as the Streetcar Named Desire question, and the Bechdel Test, for a not too shabby 7/10
