Easy as 1,2,3 😉 Nah jk, a couple of these were quite tricky tbf, needed an educated guess on the Hindi question to keep my 10/10 streak going, but could easily have got that wrong on another day.
A slight drop-off from the last couple of days, at 9,913
Hangul I think I only knew because of another quiz somewhere on JetPunk haha, it's one of those that if you asked me without multiple choice I'd probably forget it, but when I see it written down I remember
8/10. With some lucky guesses. That was a hard one. when I answered the first question I was hoping it wasn't a quiz about Phoenicia. I may have preferred that, LOL.
Fun-fact, there is a language in Indonesia which uses Hangul as their alphabet because it represents their phonetics etc. quite well compared to other scripts.
Glad as a linguist to get 10/10 on the language day haha, although I also had Cyril as an educated guess. 3rd best score, my first 10 from the 2nd week of daily trivia will never be beaten apparently lol
St. Cyril did not invent the Cyrillic script. He and his brother, St. Methodius, created the Glagolitic script. The Cyrillic script was developed later by their disciples in the First Bulgarian Empire, likely under the guidance of Clement of Ohrid, based on Greek letters.
I would guess they either clicked before fully reading the question or didn't know the Phoenicians and were thinking about the calendars and astronomy Maya is famous for. I think that wouldn't be a "first" though either...
My life is backwards. I second guessed myself on Greek letters, which I should know, but I remembered Korean is called hangul from when I had a crush on a Korean girl in 1993.
And Gumbledalf beat me by about 2,000 points
But still only 2nd on my leaderboard.
