9/10 again for me, didn't know the French Riviera one, narrowed it down to a 50/50 but went the wrong way.

Little bit of a typo for "canonize", by the way 😛

I'm a saddo that looks forward to doing these quizzes every day. Earlier this year I went a period of 44 consecutive days without getting a 10. It almost made me stop playing.

In the last seven days I have had six 10/10s. It feels much better, but the daily quiz has become much easier than it used to. It has always been relatively easy (golden rule of trivia - your average player should be getting 70-80% correct), but there always used to be one or two questions where you would have to guess because it was either so obscure, or you knew it was one of two options. They don't seem to exist as much any more.

Those were the final two questions for me today. Sometimes these quizzes just hit within our knowledge base

It really depends on your knowledge base. I think the more time you spend doing trivia, the more you pick up on random fun facts. For example, if you learn on one quiz that a stamp collector is called a philatelist, it's easier to realize philately is stamp collection.

I would argue that the statistics across the player base are probably more informative than your personal experience! On that basis, there have been a few 'easier' quizzes over the last 8 days with the average correct even approaching 8/10 on a couple of these (which is right at the top end of the distribution).

However, these scores aren't completely unprecedented and I wouldn't say that 8 days makes a substantive trend. Even within that 8 days there have been some average score and prior to this period the scores were also around the average. So not much to see here really.

Anyway, QM will probably hit us with some brutal ones now...

Blimey! Either it was a rubbish school or you just weren't paying attention. For your penance, say ten Hail Marys and make a pilgrimage to New Orleans.

It is a 'Christian' day not just a 'Catholic' day - it's related to Halloween being the eve of 'All Soul's Day' or 'All Saint's Day....personally since it all started in the 9th century, I think it was a Christian bow to pagans. Of which I happen to be a member....and a wiccan...and a treehugger....raised Catholic

31.10 is all hallows eve, 1.11 is all saints day, 2.11 is all souls day. It sounded like you were saying all saints day is the same as all souls day.

In Germany the protestant kids had a day off school on 31.10 (Reformation Day) and the Catholic kids had a day off on 1.11. so it would appear that (in Germany) all saints day is more significant for Catholics.

No argument here, religion is so convoluted, religion in general confuses me. I do think that a lot of polytheism, paganism , Judism & Christian beliefs got very mingled/muddled up to mollify citizens. Here's what the Brandeis University Center for Spiritual Life says:

From the early centuries of Christianity, Nov. 1 and 2 have been observed as days to remember the dead. This remembrance most likely originated in Celtic lands where this time of year marks the beginning of death in nature. By the 5th century CE in Rome, there was a festival for all the saints celebrated in the Pantheon, a Roman temple dedicated to all the gods.

Eventually Nov. 1 was marked as a day to remind the Christian faithful that they are in communion with all who have gone before them especially those who have lived holy lives but who are not canonized as saints. From this, Nov. 2 became a day more focused on all the dead, hence called All Souls Day.

Hurray for freedom of religion!

In Dutch all saints day is called allerheiligen, literally meaning all saints or all holy ones. English used to call it All Hallows day as well, that is where the name Halloween comes from, it is All Hallows eve(ning), the all was dropped and the rest contracted. So basically Halloween means Holy (ones) evening. Or you could say saints' night.

Easy go, but staggered on Q10....knew that both More & Wolsey were under Henry VIII...eh....

Thomas Cromwell was under Henry VIII as well (Beckett's the only option who wasn't alive during Henry VIII's reign), the excellent Wolf Hall trilogy is a fictionalised version of Cromwell's life.

He did lose his head to Henry but I ruled him out because he pushed for the church to be reformed, which was a precursor to the Protestant Reformation, so I figured the Catholic Church probably doesn't have a great opinion of him. Wasn't 100% on Wolsey but given he was Cromwell's hero I took a punt on him not being a saint either.

8/10 is not bad, of course, but 8/10 is my average and I am always trying to get more. By "pretty bad", I meant that I had 2 times 10/10 in a month when usually, I have it 4-6 times.
