8/10 :)

Got both 3 and 4 wrong but was able to power through and get all the rest.

I also got question 7, the most difficult one of them all!

7/10 went the wrong way on my 50/50 between El Salvador and Zimbabwe. Had no idea on the richest man or the boxer. I also got the most difficult one right. "Pieces of eight, pieces of eight" as the pirate's parrot says.

Eight piece and lucre. Picked purloin immediately when I saw it because I figured it is at least tangentially related to money. Then I went with Guinea for absolutely no good reason.

I thought about clicking purloin but then I thought about the Pokémon Purrloin, which had more to do with stealing than money so I decided against it. From there it was a 50-50 since it obviously wasn't ascot.

At the start of my career I used an accounting system called Lucre, my boss at the time explained the meaning of the word.

Interestingly, as an Englishman, I’d use ‘bob’ as well. Looking it up, it’s not strictly the same and refers back to shillings, but in the modern day I think it’s used as pound. Enough that I hesitated despite obviously knowing quid. Too many occasions of hearing my parents/grandparents use it to mean pound.

Yes my dad who grew up in the UK always talked about things costing “a few bob” & I thought it meant pounds until today!

Yeah, it’s probably a phrase that stuck across decimalisation and has just morphed into meaning pound now. Makes sense that our parents (who either grew up with shillings or heard the same from their parents) would keep up the phrase.

I always thought it meant pound too. But I probably only heard it on old TV as a kid and just assumed that "ten bob note" was referring to the ten pound notes I was familiar with.

I would say nobody under the age of 50 would really say bob, and actually not even my grandparents say it. I did hesitate for a few seconds though because I thought the question was weirdly phrased in that it said specifically one pound, but you can use quid to mean multiple as in "a few quid" or "twenty quid". The question sounds like it's suggesting you can't use the word quid if you're talking about more than one.
+2

No, 1 quid is 1 pound, 2 quid is 2 pounds, it's just one of those words that has the same singular as plural, like sheep.

No no no, a bob was a shilling, which turned into a 5p coin after decimalisation, 2 bob was 10p.

Q2 has two correct answers. You'd absolutely hear of something costing "ten bob" or whatever.

Yes even I have heard that, used as an unspecified amount or in the same way as quid.

I've lived in England my whole life and I knew bob was a word for one of the many different confusing British coins pre-decimalisation - shilling, florin, guinea, farthing, etc, but I have never heard anyone use the word to refer to pounds.

A bob was the term used for an old shilling, which became 5 new pence after decimalisation, so 10 bob is 50 pence. I've never heard it used for a pound, other than a generalisation like 'that cost a few bob' just meaning it's expensive.

It is very sneaky including Bob with the slang question. It is slang for English money, just not a pound!

Ahhh, broke my 10/10 streak, and on a question I really should've known 😭😅 Every fiber of my being was screaming Piece of Eight, but I started second-guessing myself and went for Guinea instead. Was on for a pretty fast one today as well; 8,935, 9/10

9/10....Q7 made me stupid....I thought that 'Pieces of Eight' is a pirates term for spanish silver, not a global currency. Debated between florin and guilder thinking either the Italians or the Dutch trade were the more likely to set a global currency. BUT THE QUESTION SAID SPANISH!

I think I better check on how my retirement account is doing (gulp).
