Amelia Earhardt? Maybe drop the D...

In other news I got 9/10, I didn't know anything about the plane crash question

Horrible! Went from 10/10 yesterday to 5/10 today, and those 5 points are thanks to a bit of luck. I have to expand my knowledge about aviation history

Boh, that was hard, just 3/10. I missed out on any 50/50s. Knew WW1, James Dean and Sully.

I mainly know it because of The Simpsons parody where Mr Burns becomes a recluse and shows off a tiny wooden plane he made:

"Smithers, I've designed a new plane! I call it the Spruce Moose, and it will carry 200 passengers from New York's Idlewild Airport to the Belgian Congo in 17 minutes!"

"That's quite a nice model sir."

"Model?"

6/10, and my third worst score ever. I guess I really don't know much about aviation.

I know Q3 specifies the first *major* war to use planes, but to be precise the first conflict involving the use of planes was the Italo-Turkish War of 1911-12.

It did see a huge expansion of Italy's overseas empire (Libya and the Aegean) so as an historian I'd say this counts as a major war...

With 10,000 fatalities, it sure seems like a major war. But only one question remains: how many of those were killed?

I must be flying over the himalayas judging by my score. There must be ice on the wings today since I only got 5.

It’s my patriotic duty to comment that New Zealand’s Richard Pearse demonstrated flight in an airplane before the Wright Brothers.

There are some technical disputes over whether he should be credited as the first to fly because it many not have been “full navigational control” - but he certainly took off and landed in an airplane before the Wright Brothers.

I somehow had the feeling that Angel Falls could have been discovered by flying over it, but couldn't believe that the pilots name was Angel when that's just a good name for an idyllic place/view.

9/10

Lucky guess on 9th question though.

+3
Level 89
Dec 8, 2025
Yeah I took ages on that one for the same reason. I knew I'd heard about Angel Falls being discovered very late, but the name made me lean towards Ayers Rock for a while

I'm confused about Q10. Google says Piccard and his co-pilot were the first to achieve this in 1999, but Fossett was the first to achieve it solo. I know 2002 is technically a hint here, but that feels like a super vague question for something only few people are gonna know anyway
+4
Level 66
Dec 8, 2025
I agree. I think the question is missing the word "solo"

7/10, but you know it was a tough quiz when that still get syou better than 76% of test takers. I missed the city one, I said Atlantic after hovering over Pacific, and had no idea on the hot air balloon.

8/10 for me today, and was lucky to get that, considering Angel Falls was an educated guess, and Charles Kingsford Smith was a total shot in the dark. Messed up on the Spruce Goose though (went for Flying Fortress even though I should know that's a B-something), as well as the balloon question (mostly blind guess; could only rule out Branson).

In other news, though, it's my birthday, so hopefully this level of difficulty won't be setting the tone for the rest of the day 😂

Question 10 must be one of the hardest I've seen on these quizzes. Doesn't seem like it at a glance but with a guess distribution of 21% 24% 27% and 29% it seems almost everyone was taking a stab in the dark.
