I thought for two seconds about what countries bordered the Black Sea, and figured Bulgaria borders it. Before my brain could yell at my stupidity and that I was missing part of the question I tapped it. Speed kills. Missed 10 anyway, oh well.

8/10 I read Batavia as Bavaria at first so was confused for a while (Just woke up, playing with eyes half open haha) why do none of these answers make sense? Ah Batavia.. ok of course. (surprised it is one of the lowest guessed actually, thought it was a well known fact (considering the crowd here)

Didnt really think 3 through and didn't know 10, the name Samuel Johndon sounded familiar in relation to dictionaries etc so I went with that one..

Edit hmm apparently he WAS the one known for the first dictionary.

2nd hmm apparently at one point in time thesaurus meant dictionary but the modern sense is a broader meaning. I was only vaguely familiar with the term, every time I heard it used though it was basically in the sense of a dictionary.

Even though the question and answer as it is now is correct, it is too close for my comfort. I think if it was my quiz I would not have put that name in. But hey, that's me :)

Today I learned they are not the same, though often interchangeable

9/10, failed on the last question. Had no idea at all, couldn't even exclude any.

8/10, missed only the last two.

The closest I got to a 10/10 in a long time.

9/10, failed at the last hurdle

9885 on a hangover, ill take that

9/10, missed the Q10. I surprisingly guessed both pop culture questions (4 and 7)

Another 9/10 for me today, final hurdle got me good this time. I knew Johnson was a trap but went for Diderot because I was sure he published the first something (gonna head to Google in a sec but I'm now thinking maybe encyclopedia?). Never heard of Roget, nice bit of trivia to remember though!

EDIT: It was indeed the Encyclopedia, curse my incomplete memory, I could've narrowed it down to a 50/50 😂

Missed Q9 because I was thinking of Batman, Turkey. Besides that pretty much rolled through the others though.

‘Have one last drink’ lmao

Woe is me, I'm so sad, 9/10 I mis-clicked Q5. The question was on some recent quiz and I got it wrong cuz I picked the Box jellyfish & then spent an hour researching the Lion's Mane...I'm surprised at the stats on Q10, I would have thought Roget's thesaurus was pretty well used during writing...(e.g. writing school papers, news editorials, snarky emails to snarky people)🤨
