5/10 again. As a Brit and in Cromwell house at school, I'm so glad I got the war question correct.

I'm curious how close you live to the east of england now. Cromwell houses are common in our schools because they're all from around here but I wonder if it spreads out far. I think quite a lot of the rest of the country wouldn't be so quick to reward him like that

What's a Cromwell house in this context? I'm not familiar with the term.

Think Harry Potter houses. That happens in UK state schools as well as private schools. Each year is split between houses, usually named after an historical person who has associations with the local area. This person was in Cromwell house. My school was Catholic so we didn't do local people, we had Catholic saints etc, so had More, Campion, Fisher and Beckett.

Yeah exactly. Ours started as fairly locally relevant individuals. But then for example changed to a famous author, scientist, artist etc. Politicians/pms quite common as well I guess. Houses don’t really have much relevance,basically just used for sports day and registration really.

My sons' school houses were Stafford, Montagu, Fitzpiers, and Wingfield. I believe they all had something to do with the school's history.

Ours were all named after famous school alumni: Coleridge, Thornton, Lamb, Peele, Barnes, Middleton, Maine, and Leigh Hunt

I went to school in Huntingdon, East Anglia. School houses were Cromwell, Montague, Pepys and Vesey; all people connected to the town/ school's history.

Oh way closer than I actually expected haha. I was just over in Ramsey. Would've almost been more interesting if you hadn't been from Huntingdon but that does add up at least.

There are a few schools in the US doing this now. The Ron Clark Academy began a program several years ago, and our granddaughters’ small, rural school is one that uses their program, including houses of Amistad, Isibindi, Reveur, and one more I can’t remember. For the most part it seems to be positive, although it fosters competition among friends and classmates so in one way it seems to me it can also be divisive.

I never would have thought gremlin originated that late.

Volkswagens in total is only something like 2-4% of US car sales

No idea about question 5 (never heard that word) and thinking a bit too long about question 9 (but at least answering correct).

Nooo, broke my streak at 6 days once again! Will I ever crack the week? 😭😂

8/10, so at least I wasn't just one question short. Could've done better on both though. Tokamak I should've known because there's a character from the Flash with that name and nuclear powers; and the last one I figured was a toss up between Ford and VW but guessed the wrong way.

8/10, and I also failed on the tokamak and the American car. But you were way faster than I was! Congrats for that, and sorry you lost your 10/10 streak.

I got 8/10 too. Got wrong at the Tokamak and the English war.

I don't like how question 5 is worded. We are already capable of fusion. It should be "What did..." as the original test reactor was tested from 1980-1982. We are able to achieve fusion but not at more input than output.

If the question isnt changed then the answer should be changed to "Cold Fusion"

The question is worded correctly.

> We are able to achieve fusion but not at more input than output.

Exactly. That's why the answer is "fusion power" which we have most definitely not achieved.

Also, a tokamak is not cold fusion.

Tokamaks are very very hot haha. Or at least how they’re designed to work. 100,000,000K is pretty hot. So yeah you’re right. And fusion power definitely not achieved yet, at least stable. H-bombs definitely have power and definitely from fusion but let’s not try to use them for our turbines.

Tough day. Among other things, the only sense I know 'gremlin' is as a plane saboteur, so I figured that would not be the original sense.

9/10 I was doing so well until the last question. I haven't had a car since 2002 and I don't know anything about them. Nuts.

Didn't get the last. Thought that one was almost too obvious (although I didn't really know). I love when studying actually pays off (tokamak tech came up in my most recent lecture and I'm pretty sure it might get mentioned in the lecture I have in 4 minutes too.

Oh, yes. I noticed a few car names but never really considered the theme. I think the Sinai one threw me off the trail. Very sneaky!

If there is a theme, it’s too obscure for me! Be interested to know.

I got 9/10. Missed the music one.
