It’s probably easier to make high-quality themed quizzes than non-themed quizzes. It gives a constraint that forces creativity. Plus it’s probably really boring putting these together every day, so changing it up a bit probably makes it more enjoyable to construct. 🤔

Can we submit theme ideas the way we can submit questions? I think that would be fun! If you want (just to make sure people are engaged and not spamming themes), you could make a requirement that anyone who comes up with a theme has to write one or two questions for it when submitting their request.

I second JWatson. My personal suggestion would be an Olympics theme.

Missed the final three, something about the cantaloupe’s texture feels so drupe-y to me.

I've never read The Grapes of Wrath. Cherries are harvested with shakers?! That's so cool! 8/10

I can’t recommend that book enough. It’s great for learning about the Dust Bowl, and it really makes you feel for the Okies. Not a super happy read, though. 🥺

Second Dimby. Among the classics, one of my favorites. I'd recommend reading it alongside the Great Gatsby too, two books from almost the same era that show widely opposite views of American society.

I've never read it, but I may have to. The movie is great! I'm currently reading The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, and some mad, apocalyptic business is afoot.

It is common knowledge that the protagonists of TGoW are the Joads. I guessed on the cherries but missed 5 others. 5/10

It's not common knowledge if you've never read or heard of it, though.

I think cherries be harvested by shakers is far more common knowledge than a book that many people have never heard of

It had to be cherries but I didn’t know that was how they are harvested. I was looking for olives in the clues! Cool to learn something and I enjoy the themes.

Many fruits/nuts can be harvested this way, including apples.

I would argue that raspberry should also be correct for the last question, as it is classified as an 'aggregated drupe', made up of drupelets.

I nearly selected it as well, before seeing the answer that fit better.

Apples are regularly harvested by shaking the tree as well, too ambigious

Level 70
Dec 19, 2024
Don't they bruise if they do that?
+2
Level 83
Dec 19, 2024
If they're harvested by shaking, they're probably going straight into processing for apple sauce, pie filling, juice, etc.
+1
Level 83
Dec 19, 2024
Yeah, I figured out which answer was intended, but 'commonly' doesn't quite eliminate apples from being a correct answer, just not the most correct.

8/10. Missed the last 2. I don't like missing the first two, because then I feel like I'm going to do really bad. And I don't like missing the last 2, because then I think I'm going to get 10/10 and I don't.

Drat, fell at the last hurdle again because I forgot what a drupe is, kicking myself 😆 Couple of lucky educated guesses in there too though, wasn't at all sure on pomelo or Japan

Spent far to long trying to figure out what a drupe could be, and guessed wrong anyway.

Me, too. 9/10, just missed the last one. I could've sworn a raspberry was a drupe.

I think that the themes are cool, but not much fun for me if the theme is about something way before my time, like the 1989 theme from a few days ago. I prefer themes like this though, that aren't bound by age.

Wow 10/10 9,888 best score of all time, gotta love fruit. I feel like I've just taken so many quizzes and seen so many interesting facts on here that I knew most of the hard ones and for a couple it was kind of just intuition

Some bad logic from quizzers if only 25% went for peach as the drupe. It's clearly the odd one out as the other three have many seeds. Botanical terminology usually focuses on reproductive morphology.
