8/10, the last two tripped me up. Kinda miffed with myself for the Athena one because Greek mythology is my jam but I must have missed that story 😅 And then the last one I just assumed it would be GM

She emerged out of Zeus’s head I think.

Yeah, from what I see, her mother was Metis, but Zeus ate her. Metis then gave birth inside Zeus and Athena popped out of his head. Super reasonable lineage. Head bursting can be called birthing. Yup.

Zeus apparently survived his head bursting apart to give birth, as well. Interesting

Very normal and guessable story

I somehow got the Zeus one right. I knew it was a grotesque, screwed up story.

So close to a 10, missed the last one.

I remember Han Solo saying something about parsecs as if they were a unit of time.

Star Wars nerds say he reduced the distance by flying close to a black hole to justify the line.

I'd always wondered about that one, cause surely if it's a set route you can do in less time but not less distance. It's explained in the Han Solo Trilogy novels.

Those Han Solo novels were great!

It was also addressed in the Solo movie from a few years ago, to show a shorter, more dangerous route. I've always enjoyed the alternate theory, where he's just lying to Luke and Obi-Wan because what would a couple moisture farmers know anyway?

Absolutely no way people believe that General Motors was around in 1908.

Why not? If you're not from the US. I guessed this along with 35% of those who've done the quiz so far.

But, I think even worldwide, cars weren't that popular in 1901 to make a car company the first to attain to a certain value. I'm not sure exactly when cars were invented, but I do know it wasn't more than 20 years prior and it wasn't in the US.

I assume you mean before? The company was founded in 1908

What honestly disturbs me more is that people think IBM was around then.

IBM was founded in 1911,

It is very reasonable to think that General Motors or IBM was around, but not making the things they do today. Like how Nintendo dates back to the 1880s, when they made playing cards.

My first 10/10 surprisingly knew all of them. Shocked the pact of steel question was so hard

I had guessed the Germany-USSR pact for that one, but I guess that was more like the Pact of Oxidized Titanium. Brittle and easily broken.

In fairness I hesitated on that one and I studied history, I think it's because "steel" always makes me think of Stalin 😂

The date gave that one away for me

The only thing it helps to do is eliminate the options not involving Germany. The year doesn't help past that because Germany signed pacts with both Italy and the Soviet Union that year.

I got it right but it took some deliberation.

8/10. I give myself comfort from the fact that the 2 I missed the answers I gave still had the highest percentage of guesses. i saw steel and just immediately my mind went to Russia/USSR. And for some reason I thought a parsec was something small. Probably sec through me off. Like second. LOL.

same but I also missed 3 others

2/10 Perhaps I should mindlessly guess on the next one. That'll probably give me a better score.

Totally fell for the tricks on 5 and 9... for some reason I assumed the Pact of Steel was another name for the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

Athena burst from Zeus' head fully formed after he swallowed her mother, Metis, in the form of a fly because he feared a prophecy. He did not give birth to her in the traditional sense. Of course, I answered correctly, but it always irritates me when questions are themselves incorrect.
