And me, should have taken the "if in doubt..." option. Although funnily enough of the 3 times I did, only 1 was right. And the two times I didn't, it would have been right.🤣

I only knew it because of Randall Munroe's book What If which features Mount Thor (and mentions it being in Canada) because it has the longest vertical drop in the world.

I knew it was in Canada thanks to a previous DTC question about Mount Thor. Huzzah for learning stuff!

Yikes. One of my worst ever. My subconscious brain took a break on that one, apparently, since I missed every snap decision guess.

5/10, picked Alps, Kennedy Space Center, fell for the trap of Saudi Arabia (why on earth would somewhere in Greece be out of bounds to women?). Went for A on Q9 and fell for the Norwegian trap on Q10.

I think it's just got a monastery and that's about it, so the monks living there don't want any disturbances

Wow, I am early, so my pretty slow 10/10 were enough to beat or equal 100 %.

There were quite a few educated guesses today, especially Baffin Island, but Disneyland, Fordow (that was more of a wild stab) and the Sound of Music, too. Quite pleased.

You should change the answer to question 8 to Yr Wyddfa instead of Snowdon - that's the proper name for it now.

I was caught out by Mt Athos. It looks a Greek name but couldn't figure why women would be banned so guessed elsewhere.

TIL there's a monastic order that has semi autonomous status granted by the Greek government. With women and even female animals completely banned. Had no idea!

Good old mount athos.

My teacher told me once that a woman stepped there dressed as a man and dropped dead.

I don't buy it.

Fun fact: During Black death spree in 14th century, Serbian emperor (tsar / car in Slavic) and his Bulgarian wife took refuge in Mount Athos, because of its isolated nature, making her likely the first women to enter Mount Athos since monks inhabited the peninsula. They spent some time there and apparently his wife never touched the soil by foot (she was carried all the time).

Regardless, few decades later, all three countries: Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece were conquered by Ottoman Empire and were enslaved by it for centuries. Some people attribute this Ottoman enslavement as punishment from God for letting women to Mount Athos, because according to legend Virgin Mary was stranded once on this peninsula. She found it to be so beautiful and prayed to God to "give" this peninsula to her. And according to this legend, monastic order was founded on this peninsula.

Also, during some wars (think WW2, but not sure) monks let women and children to take refuge.

Athos sounds Greek due to learning ethos, pathos and logos in school.

8/10 for me today, had no idea on the Iranian facility name or the song (although with mountains being mentioned I maybe should have guessed Sound of Music there 😅).

Mount Athos took me a while because while I was sure it was Greek, I couldn't figure out why parts would be off limits for women, which is gonna be my fun read of the morning.

day six of theme paranoia/blindness

todays theme = movies!

score: 8/10

1. A real lion would be in the MGM movie studio logo

2. Chalet? Chalamet? The movie actor?

3. This event is featured in the documentary series LOTR

4. Elbrus sounds close to Erebus. Erebus was mentioned in a Verne book. Other Verne books have became movies.

5. I don't think this one falls under the movies theme. If anyone can see how, lmk!

6. Disney makes movies

7. Greece is featured in movies like 300

8. Wales had lots of coal mining. Coal is flammable, like the MGM vault in 1965.

9. In the documentary Top Gun Maverick, "The Navy has been ordered to destroy an unsanctioned uranium enrichment plant in an unnamed foreign country"

10. The namesakes are in Marvel movies

Given the spread of geographical locations in the questions it was interesting to compare the % for each answer evolve as the "day" travelled across the world and people with different local knowledge took the quiz 🌏🌍🌎
