I don't like sand. It's coarse, rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere.

I like sand. It’s smooth, soft, pleasing, and it goes nowhere.

6/6 but 7/10. Judging by the % of right answers the first six were easy and the Bette Midler question was the easiest of the last 4, so I'm full in trend.

Weird. I had to guess for Bette and that ruined my points. At least I got her right.

I also got 7/10, but the ones I missed were 1, 5, 7 and I've never heard of Bette Midler

When an answer with a 25% chance of guessing right only has 24% of people getting it right, you can take solace that pretty much nobody actually knew it:)

That logic would only hold if people guessed randomly, but given 50% went for Chittagong that isn't the case.

But, Chittagong wasn't right.

That's the point, if 50% are picking the same wrong answer then clearly people who don't know the answer aren't picking at random, they're doing an educated guess.

8/10. Bangladesh was a wild guess. Sand, I kind of wanted to say arena, but I didn't. I went flumen.

9/10 for me today, sailed through the first 6 but the back end was tricky here. Never heard of the novel, and while I avoided the tsunami trap, I still guessed wrong with pandemic. Bette Midler was a complete guess for me as well though, so I'll count my blessings there haha

9/10 Sailed the first six, decided that a 1957 disaster novel...Cold War, nuke storage paranoia....knew Q8/9.....died in the arena on Q10 - went with ignis for 'fire'....

Dang. My subconscious mind could’ve gotten a 10/10 if I ignored all logic and just went with my hunches. Cox’s Bazaar jumped out at me and 1957 immediately made me think of the Cold War. Alas.

I only got Cox's Bazaar cuz it was a recent question on some other quiz that I didn't know and then I did a dive on Bangladesh. Didn't put it on my travel bucket list.

25 comments and still no jokes about silicon in sand? I haven`t got one either. But I`ve been to beaches in California. And there seemed to be considerable leakage of silicon there. (I did my best.)

How can folks not like sand? Sand is lovely, digging your feet into while walking makes your sole all clean and soft, cleans your calluses, exercises your toes if you curl them while you walk, and what about sand castles? Come on!

Woohoo! Top of my lb (with a bit of luck on the novel and longest beach). Not sure if that's ever happened before. We'll see if it holds.

6/10 because of other knowledge gaps but I'm surprised people don't know On The Beach, thought it was pretty famous

8/10.

On the Beach is an apocalyptic novel published in 1957, written by British author Nevil Shute after he emigrated to Australia. The novel details the experiences of a mixed group of people in Melbourne as they await the arrival of deadly radiation spreading towards them from the Northern Hemisphere, following a nuclear war some years previous. As the radiation approaches, each person deals with impending death differently.

It’s one of Shute’s better known novels. A Town like Alice is probably his most well known. He wrote many novels between 1925 and 1960. I have read quite a few of them.

Having Chittagong as the first option for the longest beach question is so mean. I clicked it immediately knowing that it was fairly close in proximity to the actual answer. As I clicked it, I saw the answer below and regretted it.

9/10 but I guess it was more intuition than actual knowledgeableness. Got the "On the Beach" question wrong; the right option was too unpredicable for me lol

My best score ever! It helps that On the Beach is one of my favorite novels; when I read Beaches I said, this character has gotta be based on Bette Midler; and Cox’s Bazaar is a bizarre name for a beach. Yay!
