Ah, missing the first question is never good. Pirates of Penzance lied to me about the importance of a major general.

General, yet weirdly difficult. I'd never heard of General Zod or the sports team, and I did not know that Cadillacs are luxury vehicles (actually assumed they were common as mud).

They are common

I only got it right because everything else were jdms

2 10s in a row after a shakey start to 2026, not super quick as there was a couple that needed some real thought in there

6/10. Major general sounded highest, I don't follow NFL, mixed up Mussolini and Francesco, and just plain missed the UN Secretary General.

On the bright side, my pure guess on Q10 paid off

You don't need to know who the Generals are to get the question right as long as you know who the Globetrotters are.

In the NBA it's borderline impossible that one team would be so bad over the time it takes 1000 matches that they lose to the other team 97% of the time. It has to be a team where the match is rigged for them to lose almost every time. That means it has to be the Globetrotters, who are essentially a basketball themed circus act that play a "game" against much worse opposition in order to show off some trick shots.

Don't know about U.S. sport except ice hockey. U.S. themed questions are generally my weak spot.

But thank you for the information!

People who are not from the USA and don't follow your sports will have absolutely no idea who the globetrotters are. I've heard the name thru pop culture but don't know any other details about their performances.

Harlem Globetrotters came to my high school once & played our BB team. They are absolutely a hoot to watch, they formed in the 1920s and do a lot of neighborhood fundraising.

7/10. couldn't decide between field marshal and major general and went the wrong way. Didn't know who wrote On War. And narrowed it down to basketball but went with the Lakers.

Some tricky ones today, but I managed the 10/10, at 9,890. Mostly amazed that I got a question about cars right 😂 But I was also quite fortunate with the last two questions, in that I studied both the Spanish Civil War and (briefly) Clausewitz in university.

I think it might serve well to specify which military is the subject of the first question, as not all militaries have the same ranks

There are no countries in which the rank of field marshal is below any of the other ranks listed.
