If I've learned anything from Jetpunk, it's that when the question asks which (place) is not a part of (continent), the answer will inevitably Cyprus.

Sounds like wise words. I don't understand though 😭

I've gotten 100th percentile for a 5/10 once... it lasted just long enough for me to take a screenshot, I think...

10/10 Sort of same here, took time to think through and make educated choices on Q7,9 & 10...satisfying quiz, rewarding myself with leftover pizza for breakfast

Leftover pizza shouldn't be a reward, its a given that leftover pizza is eaten for breakfast. A reward would be smoked salmon and poached eggs or Frosties!

Leftover pizza is an excellent way to start the day! Do you eat it cold, or reheated? I like both ways, but usually prefer cold for leftover pizza, which my partner finds bizarre.

I have a cold piece for breakfast....warm up another for lunch...skillet toast the last piece for dinner. Takes me 24 hours to go thru a medium 'Hawaiian Hot Thunder' 🍕

Question; is the Russian Civil War the same as the Russian Revolution cause I didn't think it was that many that died to be in the top 10

There are estimates that 10% of the Russian population died, 1.5 military and upwards of 11 million civilians. It is a crushingly sad part of history.

The Russian Civil War started with the end of the Russian Revolution but lasted for several years afterwards, basically post-revolutionary unrest between the communist Bolsheviks and other factions over what direction the country would take. Obviously the Bolsheviks ended up winning and establishing the USSR. So while it's not part of the main revolution, it's continuous with it in a sense. Hope this helps!

Thank you Watson! I'm listening/reading more on Russian history in light of the Crimea peninsula & now Ukraine. The history is very complex, post any books or podcasts that you would recommend.

8/10 but hey, just to say the 2001 book is of the film, the film is based on the sentinel short story

This is splitting hairs, but I wouldn’t even say the film is exactly based on The Sentinal. It’s more accurate to say that The Sentinal provided a jumping off point for the story of 2001.

Question #6 is inaccurate. 2001: A Space Odyssey wasn’t based on the Arthur C. Clarke’s novel. Clarke and Kubrick wrote the story together using some of Clarke’s short stories as a jumping off point (in particular The Sentinal), then Clarke wrote the novel while Kubrick was making the film.

My source is me. Film history is my area of expertise, and 2001 is my favorite film. The details are all there on the wiki page, although the fact that the film was released before the novel should be a clue.

No problem. It’s sort of a misnomer that the film was adapted from the short story too, because the short story really just provided the basis for one element of the film’s overall story, most of which was entirely original. I’m probably being overly pedantic at this point though.

9/10, fell at the last hurdle, I ruled out the last two options but figured the Russian Civil War was short enough that it wouldn't have equalled the death toll of a 116-year conflict; apparently I underestimated how much more efficient we've gotten at killing 😅

Still, a considerable improvement on yesterday haha

The Hundred Years War estimates are around 3 million but uncertain due to being complicated by the Black Plague. The Russian Revolution/Civil War wasn't so much killing as civilian starvation, disease, freezing winters, no shelter. The deaths of older wars are difficult because of the collateral civiilian deaths versus direct military to miltary deaths. Still....dead is dead

Yeah, I remember learning at university that counting war deaths gets complicated when you factor in those from causes other than battle (the example we looked at was the Second Congo War, where there were far more deaths from disease, famine, etc., caused by the conflict than from the actual fighting)

I suppose it's also relevant that there were far fewer civilian casualties in the feudal era, since the population was much less urbanised and warfare mostly consisted of pitched battles between armies, rather than bombardment of cities and attacks on infrastructure.
