6/10, that was a tough one

6 for me too. I got the first 6 right. 10 caught me because I was thinking ok they had haciendas in the Caribbean when they enslaved our indigenous people. But I just could not remember what an hacienda actually was, but because I associated it with enslavement I ran with it. Uh oh

Knew this was set to be a tough one because my LB currently has a 2/10 on it 😅 I managed 8/10, had no idea for the percentage of US agricultural workers, guessed high, would never have figured it to be that low. Then for the Roman one I narrowed it down to Coloniae or Latifundiae but guessed the wrong way, though at least it seems I went with the majority on that one haha; kicking myself for not remembering it from Rome: Total War though.

Managed the others OK, and am just about at the top of my LB for now, though I don't expect that to last 😂 You know it's a tough day when 8/10 beats 92%

Well it's only me & you so far, and I made the same choices as you, and also missed Bangladesh. That one surprised me.

Level 89

The Bangladesh one I knew because they've got loads of rivers (most in the world I think?) and get a lot of rain too, so very fertile. Sad though, all that arable land and people still struggle to eat.

Yeah, the Bangladesh one should also be fairly apparent from the other choices. Canada and Australia have areas of vast wilderness which are completely unsuitable for farming.

Turkey is more plausible, but much of the country is still dry or mountainous.

Only Bangladesh really makes sense.

But, in good news, Bangladesh is actually doing much much better than it used to be.

Since 1990, real GDP per capita (PPP) has increased by 10x!

Bangladesh is an amazing success story.

When i was young catastrophic cyclones seemed to kill thousands and destroy homes every year and now, despite climate change and rising sea levels, it's rare to hear of weather related problems in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh also has a massive population on a tiny amount of land, so it must be very arable.

I got 9/10 purely on guesses, but I took so long debating, I have one of my lowest scores of all time. This was a rough one!

Very surprising 9/10. Complete and utter guesses on 6, 7, & 10. Went 2/3 on those. On Q9 I simply worked each country out (Outback, no. Tundra, no. Desert no.)

8/10 - Lucky guess on Q6, no idea on Q7, bad guess, I started to go with Bangladesh on Q9 because the % would be higher for a small country but changed to Canada, still #3 on my LB with 7,903....hard day...where's Dimby?

The easiest one for me where latifundia and Mexico, as a inmigrant living in Mexico since 4, I learned in school a lot more I should about corn, the first type of corn that was domesticated was a primitive version called teosintle or something like that and the spanish also did a bunch of latifundia here

Second 10 in a row, another slowish one. Seem to do better on the harder ones

Wow, tough one today. Leaderboard has no 10/10 and I’m scraping in at the bottom with a 7750. I should’ve known it was 1%… all agriculture is done by giant companies with mass farming techniques how. As for the last one… no clue. Went with hacienda hoping the term originated in Latin. In hindsight, it doesn’t feel very Latin at all.
+2
Level 89

Hacienda is definitely a fair guess, it's Latin (Spanish-speaking culture) but not Latin (ancient language)

10/10.

One guess for the fertiliser question but other than that fairly easy. Must be because I’m from out in the sticks in the UK countryside.

Aug 12, 2025
the did well but mainly through skilled guessing. I debated between Tesla and Fritz Haber and got lucky. The farm simulation game was process of elimination. Got latifundia wrong and knew it was going to be wrong because Coloniae were for retired soldiers.

3/10 and that's my second best score 'cause I rarely play to the Daily trivia

Rolling through the first eight. Crashed and burned at the end!

Missed one (Clarkson), but still did quite well (beat or equaled 97%, with an 8874), partly for answering quickly (even having to guess several)...this was indeed a very hard quiz! Good fun!

I scored a respectable 9/10! Missed the percentage of American’s in agriculture one!

Nevermind will try again tomorrow!
