Nearly made the very obvious mistake on question 1 of associating Egypt with the Red Sea, but stopped myself just in time. Other than that, a relatively straightforward 10/10 for me today, maybe could've been a bit quicker on some of them

I made exactly that mistake, I'm looking at the map in my mind's eye and think it should be the Mediterranean but choose the red sea instead.

3/10 only knew Huck Finn, Joachim Phoenix and Notre Dame; and this time picking A when in doubt didn't help.

A bit slow on 6 and 8, but it was the last question that killed me. Not sure, I've ever heard any of these words...

Read textbooks. Listen to podcasts. Memorize the fundamentals of geography, and then some of the major interactions between states over the last 200 years.

The most recommended anatomy, chemistry, biology, & physics books are an easy place to start.

Then expand on it.

It isn't that hard; you just can't rely on the state to educate you. Can't raise the bar; gotta lower the ceiling.

Watch every episode of the Simpsons, study the periodic table, listen to history podcasts (Mike Duncan, Paul Cooper), read the classics...getting old helps since you might have lived through a bunch of stuff.

10/10, happy they didn't put the Yellow river in question 7 or it would have been a 50-50 guess. In general it was easy to eliminate wrong answers for questions I didn't know the answer explicitly like I didn't know if the Orinoco river had piranhas but obviously the other three don't have any.

The Three Gorges question actually came up at one of my local pub speed quizzes recently and I wasn't sure whether it was Yellow or Yangtze, but thankfully it was in a letters round so we only had to tap the first letter of our answer 😅

How are people getting the tenth one? Is that a word a lot of people know or is there an etymology hint I'm missing? Thought I was getting an easy 10/10 until that.

lachrymose- lachrymal glands

sylvan- not it. guess it's trees/woods.

thalassic- thalassophobia. fear of the sea. guess it also refers to the thalassic age of history.

riparian- think I've heard it with alluvial/fluvial

+2

Process of elimination for me: lachrymose is to do with tears, sylvan is forests, and thalassic is oceans. Originally I thought riparian was to do with tides, but it was the only one left.

Just vocab. If you know anyone who built a house near a river or lake, you probably heard them complaining about local ordinances about riparian zones.
