Post Malone bought the one ring magic card for over 2 millions, so the black lotus isn't the more valable one anymore

Curse the trick answer on the second-to-last question! That'll be a 9/10 for me, I'll take it considering that today seems to have been more difficult for most people.

There's no trick. It just asks how many shillings were in a pound.

easy for Brits even those of us born just after decimalisation because shilling coins and 5p coins were interchangeable for a long time. Each 1/20th of a pound.

I remembered that 21 shillings made a guinea, because then you paid one shilling to your assistant / secretary or something and the got to keep the pound

10/10 but a few there I was not at all confident on 😅 Was torn between France and Singapore for question 3, and I flat-out guessed the shillings one (I may be British but I know virtually nothing about our pre-decimal currency lmao).

I thought kleptocracy and plutocracy were synonyms.

As a poli sci minor, I can verify that they’re different. Kleptocracy refers to countries like Idi Amin’s Uganda, where leaders focus on spending the wealth of the country on themselves. Plutocracies, though, aren’t inherently corrupt. It’s rule by the richest… like the United States by the end of the month.

That starts from the origin of the word in Greek

Klepto means steal

Pluto means wealth

What a refined, decadent theme. 🧐

Fun fact: I owned an Unlimited version Black Lotus and sold it over a decade ago for much… much… much less than it’s worth today.

OOOOF, I feel your pain, we had a chance to get hold of some back in the 90s when the guy who ran our local game store was going out of business, he wanted to sell my mum his entire stock for a couple of grand, but we didn't have the money. There were boxes of unopened Alpha boosters in there man, just one of those would've paid back that investment today 😭😅

I remember a friend telling me about the Black Lotus.

“It costs $300”, he said.

“What a rip-off”, I replied.

With hindsight, I'd have bought an entire box of the things at that price 😂

At least we're not that guy who paid for a pizza with 10,000 bitcoin though 😬😂

7/10. Mixed up kleptocracy and plutocracy.

Should have been obvious that klepto = kleptomaniac = something to do with theft. Oh well...

7/10. I really wanted to say 500 pounds, but figured the highest answer is never the answer when they ask for the highest. And I got the shillings pence mixed up. And jsut flat out did not have any idea on the last one. Totally sounded like a mushroom to me.

Questions 4 and 9 have 52% and 59% submitting the same wrong answer, respectively. You know it's a better-than-average quiz when you can get JetPunk nerds to do this.

My 4th worst score ever.

With shillings, I remembered there was something with 20, so I thought 1 shilling was 20 pennies (which would make one pound 5 shillings). However, if a pound was 20 shillings and one shilling was 12 pence, it means a pound was not 100 pence (like today, isn't it?), but 240 pence. That is outright crazy! Or well, thingking of foot, yard and miles, maybe not so much...

I keep forgetting - (1) read the question carefully, (2) look at ALL the answers before answering. Otherwise, 8/10.

When multiple questions have 50%+ of even JetPunk users saying the same wrong answer, you know they've had fun setting traps with these questions.

It seems that more than half the users, like me, thought oligarchy meant rule by the rich. Looked it up, and it’s rule by the few - the exact opposite of democracy. Maybe because the “few” are also invariably quite rich? Does anyone know of an oligarchy where this doesn’t apply?
