Yes, it was gunpowder not dynamite. Hence why it's often referred to as the "gunpowder plot".

There actually was a Fenian dynamite plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1885

It's impressive the conspirators in the gunpowder plot got their hands on dynamite over two centuries before it was invented.

reminds me of Richard Osman's joke:

"The Great Train Robbers managed to steal over £70 million in today's money. Since none of them had a time machine, historians can't work out how they were able to steal today's money."

Nooooooo! I didn’t read the part about the blue roofs and picked Dubrovnik. I could’ve had a 9840!

Following up on NotmiandKiKi's comment, that's why it's known as the Gunpowder Plot.

ETA: I see Rob603 got there first.

I lost some time because I thought I had completed all 10 questions but in reality, I had the last one to go.

Still a nice 9/10

Another 7/10. Have no idea about Black Jack, chose poorly on the DNA question - in retrospect it should have been obvious with "mi" in the word, and picked Slumdog Millionaire as I knew it didn't cost much and made a lot of money but obviously not in as extreme way as the Blair Witch Project.

I thought Spanish Civil War might be a trick, but went for it anyway since Picasso is Spanish.

Should've picked the Spanish one on question 9, missed out of a 10 because of that.

9/10

Question 9 ?? Not sure sure (German and Italian attacks)

But that was still part of the Spanish Civil War. Legion Condor was German, but fought on Franco's side during the civil war.

First 10/10 this month.

Funny thing, in the first five days of September I got all the scores from 6 to 10 once each.

Hoping not to collect 1-5 during next five days...

Q3 should be changed to gunpowder, dynamite wasn't invented until the 19th century

I tend to agree with the points made above regarding dynamite. I got it because the others didn't make sense. However, including dynamite as a choice could be construed as a trick to make someone who knows that dynamite wasn't invented yet to guess incorrectly.

Totally biffed the facial hair question. Morning brain fog and pointsmaxxing rush had me sure Freud sported a goatee.

I mean, obviously it was Lenin. But I just poured over 100s of pics of Freud *analyzing* his facial hair. Well, he did often keep the sides much shorter in his older years or that hair was a slightly different shade to his mustache and chin, but the man indeed had a full beard for his entire adult life.

9/10

Started with me making a dumb error on Q1 which threw me a little off balance, but apparently not enough to get anything else wrong.

Despite the obvious dynamite/gunpowder error in the wording of Q3 giving it another hard shove... (I was calmed there by the confidence that others would undoubtedly already address it in the comments - happy to see that confidence was well founded :-) )

I agree.......it's a trick question! We know dynamite wasn't invented! We know Fawkes attacked parliament, did he maybe also make an attack on the Queen? Was he trying to steal the crowns jewels? Eh, QM is giving a double-blind, don't fall for it!

8/10. Honestly the only reason I knew the blue roofs question is because I knew that Santorini was the inspiration for the Overwatch map "Ilios." For once my video game knowledge was useful in trivia...

This is my first 10/10 on a first attempt I'd like to thank the academy and whatever theme there was today didn't even notice was there one?

Level 60

One of the easiest quizzes on here yet. Little bit too easy. What was the theme here exactly? Also needs more specialized knowledge and confusing/detractors in among the other multiple choices (Islas Malvinas was the only one).
