7/10 for me, missed 2, 4 & 6. I almost picked Mesa because of Mensa in Latin, but Messer is knife in German so went with that instead.
On the other hand knowing German helped with the chess question. Was secretly chuffed that I also got a couple of the ones right which stumped a lot of folk like pong and Jabberwocky. Lost time on Camilla because I was thinking UK has a King not a Queen.
Just yesterday I was sifting through some books in an old family friend’s study when I happened to come across an annotated edition of Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Eagerly, I began flipping through the first few pages of the book in search of my favorite nonsense poem ever written, Jabberwocky. Such an interesting coincidence seeing the very same poem featured in the jetpunk daily trivia the very next day, I certainly wasn’t expecting that!
9/10, question 9 tripped me up. I'm surprised with the amount of people that answered "gambit" in the last question... (39%, the most of all answers as of writing this comment)
I absolutely knew that was wrong and didn't pick it, but I have a feeling others did, because like me it's the only word they knew that went with chess.

Ended up with only 9/10 because of that. Annoying.
Was a little bit hesitant as to whether Pong counted as an arcade game, but the rest were fairly straightforward for me today
