7/10 for me. Funny isn't it how you pick answers you know are wrong, because you don't know which of the others is right.
Picked Limerick although it's 5 lines and 64 squares although I know a Scrabble board has more than a chess board.
I had know idea on the language, picked Zimbabwe; I'm pretty sure Congo and Senegal still have french so that was a 50/50 that went wrong.
Hannover was definitely before Windsor but I was just checking myself who the Stuarts were and that they came after the Tudors and not before but got there in the end
Guessed Niger for the Hausa question as I know it's the largest ethnic group in Nigeria. Figured Niger was the only country that bordered Nigeria in that list, glad my deductions were correct.
Managed the 10/10 at 9,864, dropped about 50 points on the scrabble question though, I think that may have been my slowest ever correct answer, and I was not confident at all 😅 All of the other questions were fairly comfortable for me though, thankfully
7/10. I learned 3 things today and if anybody ever asks, I will know that Hausa is the official language of Niger, Hamburg is the northernmost city of Germany and there are 225 squares on a scrabble board.
7/10...I picked Senegal for the French>Hausa cuz I thought France was mostly in NW Africa, thought Frankfort was the most north, and Madame Curie did not discovery X-rays.
8/10, Q5 was a 50/50 between Marconi and Montessori, had no idea on Q6, guessed both wrong. I knew all the others except 10, where I reasoned that since Senegal was mainly Wolof, Zimbabwe was mainly Shona, and I thought Kongo, Swahili and Lingala were the main (non-French) languages of the DRC, plus Hausa was one of the three biggest in Nigeria (along with Yoruba and Igbo), it should be Niger.
Wow, wait, Rontgen actually means X-ray in Turkish. I would seldom wonder why they call it Rontgen in Turkish, but turns out, it was named after the inventor! I learned something new today. 4/10
It is Röntgen in most languages. Those that use x-ray or something similar are the exception.
(English has the word Röntgen too, but not sure if it is in use, not in every day speech anyway and either way only for the radiation and not the photogrpah, I think..)
The quiz was 5 minutes after midnight. Unnaceptable! *shaking my head*

Niger of course had their government overthrown by the military but I didn't know they changed the language.
Dynasty was a 50/50 decision for me and I picked the wrong one.
