Stupidly hit Andromeda Strain, despite knowing that is a Crichton novel.... but most upset at messing up the last one, as a musician myself!

Thought I was going for new high score in the first half, but it turns out I’d need several minutes to figure out question 10 to avoid my worst score ever. I can be happy that I was sitting on like 4965, right?

Me too. I looked at it for a long time. Figured it out - 900 points for that one. So now we know how low you can go.

Missed 7 and 8 for 8/10. Although there were a couple of guesses in there, so I'm happy.

Aced the first 7 questions, then 8 and 9 doubted and had my cursor on the right answer but still went for a wrong answer. Couldn't figure out 10.

I guess you either see it at once, or not at all.

Damn, the names of the notes in French are do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si (not ti), I never knew it had other names :(

I did, but only because of the Sound of Music and the tea a drink with jam and bread song. This is kind of an unfair question because it has multiple answers - it's not like you can say it's in English, because in English music is CDEFGAB.

Sure you can. It's solfege as practiced by English speakers (not sure what other versions exist). Solfege just assigns a syllable to each of the notes so you don't have to sing the name of the note itself.

Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti. What does that Mena mean❓❔

TIL that the 7th note is called Ti in other places.

In Catalan we say Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si

There is also the letter transcription c,d,e,f,g,a,b. In Germany, b is written as h (much like the difference between ti/si), while b is the German name for h flat. Confusing enough?

It was always a debate with scrabble for us (I'm Dutch) I remember something was written inside the box which one of the two or both were ok, something like ti=si. I also remember something about whether it is so or sol..

Edit could have had something to do with my mother being in England for a few years when she was younger, I think the game we have is from like 1974... so she could have picked when she was there, or perhaps from the song from Sound of music.. because it is suppósed to be si in Dutch

9/10. Had no idea what they were going for in that last question. and could have sat there staring at the screen all day and not come up with notes.

Would have never found the last one considering it's "si" and not "ti" in most languages.

yes the si to ti is a late adaptation, most countries just left it as si

9/10 today, lost a coin toss on the Stephen King novel, at least I can take comfort in knowing that I went for the most picked option. Also it took me exceptionally long to work out the sequence for question 10 😅

I managed to get 10/10 today, I only had to guess once, on the James Dean question. I found today's quiz to be easy and enjoyable.

@freestatebear What does that have to do with anything? Yes and in hungary they speak hungarian.. However the naming of the notes is (originally ut re my fa sol la) based on the LATIN hymn Ut Queant Laxis, using the first syllables of each line (and referring to the notes those syllables were sung in);

Ut queant laxīs

resonāre fibrīs

Mīra gestōrum

famulī tuōrum,

Solve pollūtī

labiī reātum,

Sancte Iohannēs.

I'm sorry if this was written in sloppy English, my brain is once again not working at maximum capacity. (Happy to even produce some semblance of sentences haha)

We always learned it as "ti" here in the UK, so this might be another thing you can blame us Brits for 😅

Although I always thought it originated from The Sound of Music movie, so maybe it was the Americans lol

I really didn't like the last question, and not just because i got it wrong. I don't think there was enough context for someone to figure it out.

Had all the questions had a music theme, sure. But today, if there was a theme, it was beyond me. I think most people had to guess.

I was pretty sure that the answer to the last question was Si, but I was wrong... Is at least still pronounced the same, and is it an Anglosphere thing?
