Oh dang. I guess they do call it punting but don’t do it at Venice because the waters are too deep.

And, more importantly, it's not on a river.

Only knew this because I’ve been to Oxford and rented a boat to go punting, t’was quite a lovely day.

I got it because I binge British detective series

To see other users on your leaderboard, you have to be friends with them. I've sent you a request to get you started!

you can also check back on earlier days. I'm pretty sure the 100% won't stay 100 if at the end of the day your actual place is more like 60% (have never tested this though..)

There used to be a daily leaderboard, but unfortunately it was removed as all the top scores were by people who cheated.

So satisfying, 8 comments in a row from non-quizmaking (yet) JetPunkers! (Putting it here to not break the streak)

My parents had a chiweenie. She was cute but feisty.

Punting is well-known in both. I would say it's potentially more well-known in Cambridge (partly because of where the Cam is in the city compared to the Cherwell/Thames in Oxford), but as an Oxford student, I've been punting several times and it's always been busy when I've been.

I'm not going to suggest you're wrong, but I think that human knowledge has expanded so much and the internet has made so much information available that we simply cannot know much about things that are not either directly related to our lives or a special area of interest. It's an interesting sort of problem in that we don't necessarily need to remember things that are easy to look up, but so many things are easy to look up or have done by technology that many younger people are barely bothering to learn anything at all. I think we're going to start seeing more evidence of humanity diverging into those who apply effort to learning and those who don't. The outcome of this is not good for anyone.

I found your comment interesting, because to me trepanning is a reasonably well known word, but it is phlebotomy I have never heard of.

I have come across trepanning quite often even though, English is not my mother tongue, I do not have a particular interest in History or medical subjects or any other subject that seem relevant.

Edit ok I just looked up the word, so it basically just means drawing blood. Such a fancy word for such a basic thing, I figured it was some difficult procedure/surgery.

I guess it's a word you would/could come across often when living in an English speaking countries, not so much in movies/book/documentaries/online researches. More of a daily life word.

Trepanning on the other hand, not daily life at all, but if you like researching things, and reading one article/subject leads to another, it's a word which you might come across.
