Strictly speaking, Salzburg was not part of Austria when Mozart was born there in 1756 or at any time during his life. It was an independent archbishopric until 1803, when Napoleon dissolved it and handed it over to the Duchy of Tuscany. Austria absorbed it in 1805, only to lose it to Bavaria in 1809, then recover it in 1806.

All of which is beside the point, of course, since Salzburg has been part of Austria since then. But it reminds us what a crazy quilt Europe was for centuries, when countries such as present-day Germany did not exist in any form and Austria had far different boundaries than those drawn up after the end of WWI..

Brilliant comment. I hope you didn't miss that one, though. Ahh, love listenin' to some Mozart on Spotify.

Recovered in 1816 not 1806.

Correcto-mundo! There's a lot of ignorance of history here, even if by & large geography facts are accurate.

Level 65

9/10 guessed wrong for the first question.

Level 67

Aug 15, 2025

I also got 9/10, but got the last question wrong!

Level 38

Same here.

10/10…not happened in ages, good start to the day!

Level 66

Mad Men is the only reason I got Madison Avenue right.

Level 44

8/10. Oversimplified to the save again!

Level 53

Aug 15, 2025

8/10. Chose Mediterranean and fashion. Decided money rules the world so went for sale at auction. The rest I knew, 😄

As usual, I'm so slow so the last of 5 on my leaderboard with 8/10.

I loved the idea that a meteorite was returned to Mars - so I had to click on it!

"Oi!! stop chucking your dirty rocks on my lawn! - Have it back!!"

Level 47

Aug 15, 2025

The truth is much worse because it wasn't a meteorite at all, and that auction was a fraud.

Level 70

Aug 15, 2025

9/10. Didn't know who was born in Salzburg.

Level 89

Aug 15, 2025

Nooo, I was on track for a new high score but guessed the wrong way between auction and testing on question 10 😩 Think this must be my fastest ever 9/10 though. Have to credit having recently watched Mad Men for knowing the Madison Avenue one.

Level 69

Aug 15, 2025

I've never heard of Madison Avenue. Those ad guys obviously aren't working hard enough.

Level 65

Aug 15, 2025

10/10, 4th best all time! Bit of a guess on the last question but selling artifacts to the highest bidder is so "America" these days...

Level 80

Aug 15, 2025

Pretty smooth 10/10. It's kinda comforting when, even if you're not completely sure of the answer, you have a pretty darn good idea that it's right and it turns out that way. Didn't race through it and with the power of elimination was able to manage a pretty decent score.

All Anglophiles know how many members were in the Spice Girls, I would hope.

Level 91

Aug 15, 2025

Got the first 9...dammit!

As many times as my 11 year old son has "rickrolled" me, that one was easy.
