8/10, tough questions for me today, had no idea there was a bridge over the Dardanelles, and I've never watched Bridgerton so had no clue there. Got lucky with the Bridgestone one too, only one I could rule out was guitars haha
Also I'm just realising as I type this that it's a bridge theme 😅
Missed the same ones as you, although I got quite lucky to get the Bridge of Sighs. I just looked that one up after missing a similar question on Alexa’s daily trivia.
I may have read that somewhere before, but I just double-checked and got the confirmation: there was the notion that prisoners who have just been convicted would all let out a sigh of despair when crossing the bridge. Hence the name.
1 50/50 guess on the last question (I excluded Bering Strait for political reasons and the English Channel, because they already have a tunnel), I got wrong, too.
I answered the Rhine question without checking the date, and also didn't know the suspension bridge question. On the other hand, I'm an avid Bridgerton fan and have watched enough F1 to know that Bridgestone makes tyres.
That did throw me a bit, when I saw the answer at first I thought she must be a fictional queen for the show, and I'm British lol. Although in fairness I would guess that outside of the UK most people don't draw much of a distinction between Queen and Queen Consort
She held the title of "Queen of Great Britain and Ireland".
And yes, she was a queen consort not a reigning queen, but she still held the title of queen. Note, that this is not the same for men, who do not acquire the title of king without also being a reigning king.
Broke my 10/10 streak. I haven't watched Bridgerton, but I knew it was a historic drama. Went with the woman with the long reign, hoping it fell into that timespan.
(Don't worry, I don't get it either.)

3 complete guesses and I got all of them wrong.

6/10
Maybe I'll get a 10 tomorrow- but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it

Bridges and nursery rhymes aren’t my forte
I think this is the first time most people miss a question (Charlotte queen)
Also, yes, Napoleon was alive before Crist was born
