Probably because Lawrence of Arabia was a real person and so knowing history rather than just films gives the answer. Jane Austen was writing during the Napoleonic wars so that rules out Pride and Prejudice (literature knowledge). OK so Casablanca and Apocalypse Now are movies but they are classics!
9/10 definitely should have gotten Lawrence of Arabia, but I clicked Casablanca without reading options C or D. All this speedmongering ruins my chances of a ten
To be honest, Remembrance Day isn’t really a thing everywhere. I’m Italian, and until today I wasn’t even aware of it, nor of the symbolism of the poppy.
It seems to be mainly observed in countries of the Commonwealth.
Went for speed but misread the last question, had to go back for a reread, and only got 985 for it. Would have been good for my second best score of all time!
Will have to settle for my sixth best score. Not bad. A good day and not really a single difficult question. I think the only people that trip up more than once today are the ones going for speed!
Pls jetpunk can you stop verifying whether I'm a bot or not for every new quiz which I take. It's really really very annoying and time wasting as it takes like half a minute for all that to be done. Thanks.
No I dont use incognito mode as it wouldn't save my quiz results and also the cookies thing is automatically limited. I haven't enabled the button on block all cookies option. 😞
A very good theme for me today, 10/10, 9,912. A little less sharp than usual but I'm gonna blame that on the fact I'm quitting smoking today so this is a very groggy morning 😅
On a course to get my best score of all time, and I accidentally clicked the wrong answer in the pilot question. I was just moving the mouse down to the right answer, and twitched.
10/10! My 3rd best score. I know my WW's and expected it today. But a couple of questions wording slowed me down or would have been higher score. If I went quicker might have missed one.
9933.
Surprised so many people picked daffodils, I guess they're thinking of the "host of golden daffodils" poem by Wordsworth.
The big question is
How are 8% getting daisies?

Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score
What did it look like?
5 points lower than you! Not a bad record!
Curse you Red Baron! (Snoopy)
"Hans, have you looked at our uniforms recently?
They've got skulls on them."
"..."
"Hans... are we the baddies?"
