Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a French videogame with a "fantasy Belle Époque setting" that came out earlier this year. I haven't played it yet but it's supposed to be quite good. I think Dimby is suggesting that it might have been an inspiration for today's DTC theme.

French, eh? That prompted me to peek at your profile. You have a very impressive array of languages! I'm envious.

Thanks! I don't master all those languages! I speak English and Spanish (and French obviously), I learned (and struggled with) German, but I can understand Italian and Portuguese and manage to make myself understood. Thanks to English and German, I can decipher Dutch but would never be able to formulate phrases.

Polish and Finnish are just quizzes I took that didn't require too much effort to understand and that I could answer to with some practice (learning how to spell the countries' names in those languages particularly).

8/10…i think I talked myself out of one of the answers by conflating it with the fin du siècle. Doh!

Oh dear 4/10 although I felt like I'd know the answers. In hindsight I should have got false story as that's what an Ente means in German and it's the word for duck.

Grand Jeté was 50/50 between ballet and fencing and I chose wrong.

Didn't know George Orwell was a nom de plum but I knew for sure the others weren't, so at least I got that one right.

Other ones I knew were 1, 8 & 10.

3/10, oof. In Normandy, "Canard" can also be defined as a piece of sugar in calva (an alcohol), though few people know about that anywhere else

9/10 again, canard caught me ought this time, somewhat embarrassing given my line of work but not a term I've heard often lol. Quite surprised by the low percentage on bourgeoisie though.

In keeping with the JetPunk tradition of obnoxious pedantry, technically the coup was successful as Gorbachev was removed from power, the USSR was dissolved, and Yeltsin became president. Maybe should be rephrased from "attempted" to "carried out"

You appear to have your events mixed up.

The coup was not led by Yeltsin nor undertaken on his behalf. The leaders of the coup were trying to overthrow Gorbachev so they could revert back to a hardline Soviet regime.

It didn't just fail, it accomplished the exact opposite of what they wanted.

It helps to have been alive when all this was taking place.

You got 2 of 10 correct

With time bonus, your score is 1,944

You beat or equaled 1% of test takers

Avoided my worst score of all time by guessing the last question correctly.

"You beat or equaled 100% of test takers"

How is that possible?

BTW why is it called a 'test' and not a 'quiz'?

Not a criticism of question 8, as it's entirely clear what it intended - but there were *two* deaths at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. It's just the Roland Ratzenberger's fatal crash in final qualifying was rather overshadowed by the one that occurred during the actual race.
