Fell at the final hurdle for a second day running, could've been any of the last three options but I was torn between baldness and psychopathy. Got very lucky guessing the Harry Potter one though so I'll take the 9/10 haha.

Also, I really need to fix my sleeping pattern, I should not still be awake 😂

I miss the last question so often when I've secured the first 9. At least it seems that way. This was a hard one, nice work on 9/10.

Yeah I think the majority of my misses have been on Q10s 😅 They do seem to be the hardest more often than not

I saw A Midsummer Night's Dream a few weeks ago... and got that question wrong. Was thinking of Titan.

8/10 chose Saturn and Psychopathy (was also a toss up between that and baldness). Carnegie was an educated guess. Knew the rest.

I did the exact same, but I knew the Carnegie one

If you're eating "al fresco" in Italy, you're in a prison cell somewhere, meditating the differences between the original language and its abroad dialects...

Seriously though: the expression "al fresco" to indicate "outside the restaurant" is something I know only from this site and must be North-American only.

In Italy, it's old fashioned slang to say "in jail", and no one uses it otherwise. "In fresco", which would be the closest food-related expression, means "in the fridge" - which is also not very comfortable to eat in...

It’s a term we sometimes use in NZ.

Fairly common usage in the UK too - so I suspect it's a broader anglosphere thing rather than just North America.

9/10, male pattern baldness got me in the end. Nearly fell on moons of Uranus until I remembered they ran out of Roman gods and moved to Shakespeare.

Also somehow remembered that Oppenheimer was Christopher Nolan

Dear lord. These questions utterly destroyed me. Not a hope on four and a mistake on gullet for my worst score ever.

Apparently I’m much worse than the average today. I do notice a few people with awwwwfully low time bonuses on a hard day, though.

How can you see other's time bonuses?

You just look at what they got in the last three digits. If they got 7900, it means they lost 100 points in the 8 questions they got right. If they get something like 9500, they lost tons of time on every question but got them all right. Which would be quite suspicious!

8/10 I knew that Uranus is the Shakespeare-planet, but misread the question quite formidably. Had no idea about the last one.

8/10. Too fast on Al Fresco, should have thought longer. And no idea on the last, guessed Psychopathy.

I guessed psychopathy, too. I knew it wasn't diamonds. And for whatever reason I didn't think anyone would bother measuring male pattern baldness, so it was between dogs and psychos.

1/10 for the first time ever and it was a movie question that saved me.

7/10. Don't know anything about moons, movie studios or male pattern baldness (I'm a girl so I 'll give myself a pass on that one.

I went with male pattern baldness because (at least to me) the name indicates some semblance of a study.

Researched the moon question....All the planets' moons have cool names, even Saturn with a couple hundred moons, why is Earth's moon called 'Moon'....like naming your cat 'Cat'. I was lucky on Q10 cuz male and female baldness runs in my family, but it is kind of a marketing angle, my brothers are all weirded out. There's no standardized scale for dogs (except my border collies are the smartest) and lots of measurements for psychopathy, I think there is one for diamonds but it wouldn't be called 'Norwood'.

Earth’s moon is named Luna, but we just call it the moon because it’s the only one we have I guess.

I'm thinking 'Lux splendida' would be good....

For millennia the only moon we knew about was our own, so there was no need to give it a special name. Once Galileo discovered other moons existed everyone had been calling it "The Moon" for far too long for any other name to stick.

That's kinda what I thought - people could 'see' the moon - so 'Luna' is a moon goddess, from Latin...so why don't we call the moon 'Luna'?

Yes they are - and mine are named 'Ned' and 'Jack', named after characters in the movie 'Waking Ned Devine'

OK, so 8/10. Should have known Q8, absolutely no clue on Q9, lucky guess on Q10. As for Q5, I have no idea why I knew is was Uranus, maybe I thought it was funny when I was a kid.

You got 9 of 10 correct.

Didn't know the Midsummer Nights Dream moons question.

9/10 because of something called "clarified" butter, but I admit I just picked the funniest one for the Norwood scale, because Norwood sounds like the name of a bald guy.

A tough, slow one today with an outright guess on Q10 as the only answer I could safely eliminate was psychopathy.

For the question abt ghee, all I could think of was the Psych episode where Shawn introduced Gus as his partner Ghee Buttersnaps. I guessed clarified butter for ghee and LO AND BEHOLD, the green light flashed!!
