Was going to get a very quick 10/10. Failed last hurdle

8/10, thought maybe a kumquat wasn't citrus, and I've never seen Cats

Kumquats are small, orange and very sour.

I didn't really like Cats, it's just kinda weird.

Hope you're not basing that on the movie.

No, never even considered seeing the movie. I've seen a lot of musicals in all of my years. We took our kids a lot, but I just couldn't get into Cats. Book of Mormon, loved. I saw Cats, just couldn't get into it.

How "de jure" (by law) is opposite with "de facto" (by truth)?
+2
Level 54

As an example, a de facto couple are living together as though they are married and a de jure couple are actually married by law.

different, but not opposite.

I think it's more that you'd only really use "de facto" in situations where "de jure" doesn't apply. For example, you wouldn't say that Kier Starmer is the "de facto leader of the UK" because he's already legally the Prime Minister, but when Medvedev was President of Russia you might have said that Putin was still the de facto leader.

How about "what phrase is often used in contrast to 'de facto'?"

In contrast… So… the opposite?

I got it right only by wrongly think that 'de jure' meant of the day, like a menu...soup of the day. Contrasted that with 'in fact' made my head go to...well....if it's only for a day, it can't be a fact. Twisted but got me there

the opposite of "legal" is "illegal", not "actually"

Ugh… I got destroyed today. Doesn’t help that I somehow missed Nicosia and hit Khartoum, even though I was sure I tapped Nicosia. 😩

7/10 for me. Missed 5, 6 & 8 but had a lucky guess on 7.

Calling de jure and de facto "opposites" is a bit odd, since they are not mutually exclusive. You can have something that is both de jure and de facto.

Bit of a nitpick, but Dugongs and Manatees aren't really that closely related. They diverged 30million years ago. They're in the same order of Sirenia. But then another order of mammals (Artiodactyla) contains Giraffes, Pigs, Whales, Deer, Buffalo and Camels. Which we wouldn't consider closely related.

7/10. Should have been 8. Second guessed myself. Not my day. But, it's Saturday so it's not all bad.

Dang, thought I was on for a 10/10 after surviving a very hedgy guess on Nicosia, but my lack of musicals knowledge came back to bite me again 😅

Well, I didn't get the 10 either, but I hope you don't mind my taking great pleasure in having been faster than you today - probably for the first time ever.

I didn't know about Nicosia, but sailed through the others except for a minor delay on Lady Godiva.

Very nicely done haha, I only got Nicosia by *sort of* managing to rule out the others, although I can definitely see why people fell for the Korea trap on that one.

I got it because my brother was once working as a tourist guide in Cyprus for a season. One time on his day off, he did a tmotorcycle trip to Nicosia and somehow ended up in "No-man's Land" between the Greek and the Turkish part of the city.

Fun explainer for the Che Guevara question:

'Che' is an Argentinian word meaning 'mate' or 'pal', which Guevara adopted as a nickname. As one of the sole non-Cubans in Fidel Castro's band of revolutionaries, his constant use of the word 'che' was a source of amusement, giving rise to his nickname.

So in effect one of the principal leaders of the Cuban Revolution was basically called 'Buddy Guevara'.
