Was gonna make the same comment. Like 90% of my knowledge of high art is from the Simpsons alluding to it.

Hey, I remembered the Bayeux tapestry from a previous daily quiz! It’s sad that I managed to deduce Jet in about a minute, then didn’t know the shuttle name even a little bit.

There was no shuttle in today's quiz lol

The Saturn V was an enormous superheavy lift rocket with three stages

I randomly happened to read about jet yesterday after going on a wikipedia dive about Yorkshire, how moorland is created by human deforestation, and the formation of peat bogs.

Failed on the German question though.

That's one of the best things about JP....you get questions that you don't know the answers to and go down a rabbit hole learning all kinds of stuff that have nothing to do with the original question😊

Never heard of jet either, but I knew all the others were wrong.

I don't know why I thought I'd read here that Stalin was born in Switzerland? Was Trotsky born in Austria or something?

Luna was the only name I knew, but as it's the Luna module, it's not the rocket as well.

Chose onyx as the gemstone.

No, but Hitler was

Level 53
May 20, 2025
Yes, I know that, but I thought there was a question somewhere about a few being born in places you wouldn't expect and one if them was a Russian leader, maybe not.

Yep, Stalin was born in the Georgian town of Gori. He apparently continued to speak with a thick Georgian accent throughout his life. His security chief Lavrentiy Beria was also a Georgian.

Leon Trotsky was born in what is now Ukraine.

Yes, another 10/10 and 7th best score. May 2025 is better than last year :)

Knew about mostly everything but hesitated a lot for jet and for the launcher.

9/10, I confused jet and obsidian. Well, they're both black and shiny

So is onyx, my dad had a chess game and the black pieces were onyx, but I guess therein lies the answer that it's not a gemstone haha.
+1
Level 53
May 20, 2025
Hmm now Google seems to think Onyx is a gemstone (perhaps not so expensive) and although it is striped black and white, there are plenty of pictures of pure black lumps.

is the question a little confusing, perhaps the Quizmaster can explain?

9/10 today, had absolutely no idea about the rocket for Apollo 11, went with Falcon Heavy because I'd heard of it somewhere, but no dice.

Proud of myself for getting jet though, that one was tricky! Managed to rule out obsidian because that's volcanic glass and ebony which is a type of wood as far as I know, but wasn't sure about the other two at all.

One of my worst performances ever. I don't eat seafood, I don't know rockets and gems, I don't even know Oasis because I spent the 90s listening to jazz and Jimmy Buffett. At least my old friend Paddington helped me out though.

I got lucky with some educated guesses like obsidian definitely isn't polished coal, and the "lacto" in the yogurt one made me think milk. Jager was a shot in the dark for me and I thought Joker might be linguistically similar.

10/10 for me today, apparently my 2nd best score ever. The questions are easy when you know the answers, I'll probably get three right tomorrow.

So glad that the Quizmaster used my question about Stalin, when I saw that the Quizmaster responds to every message, I thought that was over exaggeration, turns out I was wrong! The jet punk community is very nice. Thank you Quizmaster!
