Is #6 common knowledge somehow because I’ve never heard of either names.

I've only heard of Ayn Rand from the scythe series (completely unrelated, but I clicked the only one I have heard of)

I thought it was pretty well known, and knew the answer without seeing the options.

The only one I'd heard of is John Keats. But I didn't think it was him so I picked the A option, which was also wrong.

Keats is a Romantic Poet, died in 1821 about 100 years before Ayn Rand was born; Atlas Shrugged was published in 1957. Both would have been considered 'pop culture' before they established themselves as significant contributors.

I would say so. I know very little about literature and usually get questions about books wrong, and I knew that one even without the multiple choice.

Fairly seminal book by Rand, along with The Fountainhead and many others. She and her intellectual circle developed the philosophy of 'Objectivism', democratic elitism and was fairly controversial. Besides a bit of steaminess.

Be glad you've never heard of Ayn Rand. Her work is insufferable.

8/10, the two times I took the A option (the author and the video game) it was wrong. I have played pacman a bit, but didn't know the ghosts had names.

If you've watched PIXELS, the cars had special licence plates corresponding to the Pac-man ghost names

9/10, chose tobacco over railroads. Had to guess on MJ and Ayn Rand

I did the same thing on Q9 but in hindsight it does make the most sense. I did however know MJ & Ayn Rand.

3/10, why does everyone know the haka dance?? I'm not american

Anyone with a remote interest in rugby will know it. The other way might be at this time of day a lot of people in the eastern hemisphere are doing the quiz and they'll generally know it.

I don't think it is an American thing, I'm American and I had to guess. I was also shocked that that was the first question.

The haka is Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand). We do it at important cultural events including sports, so it’s pretty well known internationally.

I think Americans were less likely to know that one, tbf. If you're in a country that plays rugby, that one's fairly well known, but if not, I would expect people to struggle.

Level 64
Aug 6, 2025
I knew it (American) because it's an important part of Maori culture. I know *nothing* about sports, though, so I'll have to look up what it has to do with rugby now.

8/10 Almost said Maori, but second guessed myself. I've heard of the Saragasso Sea, but I don't know where it is.
+2
Level 63
Aug 7, 2025
I believe the Sargasso Sea is the only sea not bordered by land, it’s some section of the Atlantic, sort of to the east of the Carribean I think.

9/10 because of a non-literary question about the wide Sargasso Sea. But if I'd even thought about Bertha for a minute I would have got it--duh.

A much better day for me today, 10/10, and 9,903. Lost a bit of time on question 9 but concluded that 1900 was too early for cars to make up that much of the market. Also, quite pleased to see less than half of people knowing Rand, an author I truly wish I could forget XD

Elvis died 17 years before Michael married Lisa Marie--thus no relationship there....death prevents future "relationships." So Michael was NEVER Elvis' son-in-law.
