9/10 had no idea about the pop song, and the crystal glass was a close call.

6/10 for me, fell for the Brazil and China traps.

Didn't know the song and "A" was wrong.

The only Italian islands I knew were Capri and Lampedusa.

Happy to get a couple of the "difficult" ones right like lead and MNS.

day 11 of theme paranoia/blindness

todays theme = additions, adaptations, repeats, and remakes!

notes: 8/10

1. She asks again and the answer changes

2. This was added around 200 years after the museum's opening

3. sequel

4. The Hawaiian diety Pele existed way before Pele (soccer player) existed. As they are the two most famous with the name, one could say the athlete is the sequel name bearer (the name is of no relation btw)

5. Same person made a HORRIBLE adaptation of Avatar

6. Lead in glass is -1400, glassmaking i think is about -2000, so lead glass is an adaptation

7. It was torn down and rebuilt elsewhere so it's a sequel of itself

8. Eyeglasses would be heavily adapted upon post invention, with things like bifocals, etc

9. Heat waves as a concept existed long before the song, the song is just an adaptation of the term to apply to a work of music

10. glassmakers didn't always exist there, someone made an addition of the first such facility

HUH??? how was the percentage for the glass animals song so low... that song was literally everywhere in 2022 lol

maybe a majority older demographic taking this quiz?

All of those songs were everywhere in recent years, it's easy to think "that song was big" and pick one of the wrong answers if you're rushing.

Fun nugget of trivia, for anyone interested in the fact that eyeglasses were invented that early:

In Shakespeare's King Lear, there is a reference to glasses. In Act 1, Scene 2, Gloucester famously says to Edmund (who is lying to him, "Come, if it be nothing, I shall not need spectacles". When I first heard that line, I was surprised that spectacles existed in Shakespeare's day!

Of course, by the end of the play he DOESN'T need spectacles.

Another hard one today, and another 7/10 for me, some very tricky questions here! Had no idea about the pop song, as is often the case, and also went for silicon instead of lead and China instead of Italy, where it seems I at least went with the majority in both cases 😅

Also, props to the very clever red herring that had people thinking of the wrong Pele!

Just noticed that even with 7/10 I'm currently 8th on my leaderboard; while I don't expect that to last all day, that's definitely a sign of a very hard quiz lmao

Now I understand what someone above meant by Brazil trap. Had no idea, why that supposedly was a "logical" answer. Did not get it until I read your comment ( I see now neodymium mentions another Pele as well but I initially just skimmed his comment, too much info at once ;) )

Ouch, 7/10. I feel good so many other people also tried silicon, but I feel bad that I know a lot about the island outside Venice famous for glass blowing but I never bothered learning its name.

9/10 missing only the director of Glass. My only pause was on island near Venice. The other 8 were instant answers for me. So unlike many other comments today this was an easy quiz

Pele's hair actually refers to the thin strands of volcanic glass formed during a volcanic eruption. Pele's tears are blob like solidified droplets of volcanic glass, sometimes found together with Pele's hair.

Just like common soda-lime glass, lead glass indeed contains much silicon besides lead, so “silicon” should not be a wrong answer

Glass Animals - Heat Waves, I've heard, and sung along with, that song hundreds of times and somehow had no idea the name of the song or the band!!

Interesting that given three places known for volcanic activity, more people are opting for Brazil for volcanic glass than for those three combined.

Seems like my percentile has been dropping over the last month or so. I wonder if there's been an influx of cheaters, maybe more trivia hobbyists have found DTC over time, or it's just me.

This one was horrible.. 5,6,7 and 9 wrong should have known 6 and 7.

I did know 4 though (no doubts), while 70% of the people got it wrong

And also knew it was not silicon for 6 which tricked most people.
