8/10. I really had to stop and think about what the recipe one meant before I figured it out. Also forgot that Quechua was spoken throughout Bolivia and the like

8/10 I did not figure out the recipe one (picked Paris thinking that French chefs would always change someone else's recipe) & I forgot that my daughter learned Quechua while volunteering for over a year in Chile....even so, I might still have chosen Nahuatl😒

4/10 with a score of 3,960. I'm glad I wasn't tricked by Navajo at least.

Clearly I'm not alone in thinking indigenous American meant within just the United States

Yeah, I am not even American and I immediately clicked on Navajo when I saw it..

I suppose that American here can refer to either the United States or the Americas as a whole?

I assumed USA when I read the question and guessed Navajo, but I do know Quechua from Peru

Yes, this question is taking advantage of linguistic ambiguity that is not entirely resolved by reading the question and answers more carefully. Maybe revealing a bit of an agenda. Maybe a little unfair (Don't overreact to my use of this term. I know this is a low stakes quiz, just for fun.)

Mexico has the largest indigenous population which is why I went with Nahuatl - except there is a large diversity of languages. I guess I need to study.

'Native' would be the word for me. With indigenous I automatically went for the whole continent.

Holy. 6/10 and I’m still above 50%. This was tough, and not in the good way kids use it today.

8/10

didn't think long enough about the bakers question. thought about height, but confused Buenos Aires with La Paz

I should have looked through the options to the language question - knew it but blundered. Still a solid 8/10

Gosh, 9/10 beat 98% of players - tough today...

Foiled by literature (as usual) at the last hurdle. Maybe my New Years Resolution should be to read some books! 😂

5/10. Didn't know little donkey, should have known Cyprus. The volcano was mentioned in another recent quiz but I couldn't remember the country. Quechua has come up on worldle but not the others so pissed I got that wrong. Didn't know the author and didn't pick Madame Bovary cos I thought I knew the author and would have recognised them.

4 out of 10. I am humbled. Today I am an ignorant fool. Does Mexico not use the metric system, is that the logic behind the baking question?

No, because of the high elevation.

To those who clicked it, Foggy Bottom’s the name of Humdinger’s town in Paw Patrol

I watched a lot of Paw Patrol in my time and never caught onto that. Funny! The real Foggy Bottom is a neighborhood in Washington D.C.

9/10 today and these were some very hard questions. Lived in England my whole life and never heard anyone call London "the Big Smoke", but managed to guess that one right. Was lucky on the volcano one too because that came up in a pub quiz I went to at the end of the year. The indigenous American language one was what got me though. Like a lot of people it seems, I didn't think through the question properly and looked straight for Navajo before I had time to realise the mistake

Born in England and have even lived and worked in London, and have never heard that nickname. A sloppy 7/10 today missing that one, the language one which I knew but did not read all the options, and the calendar which I fat-fingered.

This makes me, as an American who lived in London for two years, feel much better. I've never heard of this and still can't figure out why it is. Fog?
+3
Level 83
Jan 3, 2026
Yeah, it's referring to fog. I vaguely recall seeing the term somewhere before, but still took a bunch of time trying to convince myself of the correct answer.

I've always known the term 'the big smoke' to refer to the city, any city, in any country. It just means a place that is not rural.
+3
Level 66
Jan 3, 2026
The only reason I got it is because there's a brewery called Big Smoke in South West London. I had no idea it was a nickname for London but I figured it couldn't be a coincidence.

Thanks - lived in London for a summer, visited as a tourist many times. I'd never heard that one, either.

It is from the extensive pollution from burning coal fires in conjunction with a weird weather inversion situation. Kinda happened around their industrial revolution time.

Level 53
Jan 4, 2026
It took me a while too but as tizzlizz says it's to do with the smog at the beginning on the last century. I recall I've heard London referred to as the big smoke in old detective films. I can just envisage a guy wearing a raincoat and hat, smoking a cigarette in the rain with a talk over setting the scene.

As Salma Hayek once said to David Letterman, "We have burritos in Mexico. They're just small donkeys."

Didn't know the music question, but managed not to get caught out by the native American question before misclicking on both 9 and 10 for a 7/10. Not that I had any idea on 9 and 10, but I was going to click the correct answer on both (luckily) and missed.

Technically should be guarani because quechua is a language family
