Dang. Fantastic time spoiled by #8 and #10. Saw Ark and was going for speed and clicked it before realizing there were two. Then that tricky word looks a lot like Lepidoptera, so I thought it might be a butterfly preserver.

For a geography-centered site, I'm surprised at least 68% of people (as of writing this) thought dodos were from Madagascar and not Mauritius!

Not reading and trying to answer quickly I answered q 9 wrong. 9/10, so close

9/10, I thought Cook was first to reach New Zealanad, but apparently not.

I got my luckiest 10/10 ever there 😅 Saw the words "bird" and "extinction", clicked dodo before I finished reading the question properly, but for some reason it didn't accept my answer 😂 Would've been on for a really good time but question 10 brought my average down a bit

9/10... Got the Batman question wrong. Whaha, my film knoledge is so bad, But Abel Tasman... Easy. Elephant Bird, also easy

Not a good day for me. I let myself fool me more than once :(

8/10

I was almost sure the dodo was extincted only like the 17th century but I tried dodo anyway

Lapidarist... Lepidopterist... whatever.

🤣

4/10 Froutaten.

9/10. Stock exchanges, man. Doesn't the DAX sound more stocks-y than Nikkei?

Source for "Japanese stock exchange is commonly known as 'Nikkei'?" I'm pretty sure that's just not true. Nikkei 225 is an index that gets its name from the newspaper that publishes it. It would be like saying that the NYSE is "known as" "S&P" (not a perfect comparison because S&P's indices include companies listed on multiple exchanges, but same idea).
