I thought it was a book? The first time I saw 'the life of Pi' was in the school library. On Pi day. On the way to a pi day celebration. A coincedence?
6/10, kicking myself for choosing men in 1st class before reading further arghh. Didn't remember that quote in captain Philips, so chose something else. The whale answer surprised me, I thought that phrase was used much more frequently, hey ho. Wasn't sure about Drake so guessed Vespucci.
Drake wasn't the first to complete the journey however. Eighteen our of the 270 crewmembers on board magellan's ship, The Victoria, completed journey. The captain at the time of completion was Juan Sebastian Elcano.
Another slow and steady 10/10 today, had to take my time with a couple of these, particularly the gorillai and the Titanic. Won't be setting any records with this score, but with how hungover I am I'm just glad I didn't make any blunders 😅
Curious what percent of the time I get question #1 correct. I know it would be really high, because it’s almost always fairly easy. I appreciate that, because when you start out with a little win you’re like, “Let’s go!” When you start out 0/1 it’s discouraging and makes the whole experience less fun. Just wanted to point that out, because it’s a good strategy not just for the DTC, but for quizzes in general.
8/10 - Aced it through Q8 & was feeling cocky (I am a sailor and read a lot of maritime history)....I went too fast on Q9 and didn't think and on Q10 I went nostalgic
I definitely misunderstood the titanic question. Thought it was a question of positioning on the ship and strength. Not the fact that the women were able to board the lifeboats before the men. Thought it was a question of what would happen if there were no lifeboats at all I guess
BTW first 10 after 20 days.
25% – the percentage of female passengers who perished.
76% – the percentage of crew members who perished.
68% – the percentage of people on board (passengers and crew) who were lost in the disaster.
In total there were an estimated 1,517 people killed in the sinking of the Titanic, 832 passengers and 685 crew members."
Not my topic.
(Also it was a lucky guess for Captain Philips, I haven't seen the movie, but it felt right for what I know of it)
really only knew 2 of them but I had some good guesses
my knowledge is so out of touch with regular knowledge like this ill prolly never get a 10/10 lmao

If you look at score distribution on quizzes, there's usually a spike in people who get perfect scores. Maybe 5-12%
