4/10 This is terrific.

Level 83

Ah, got em all. I wasn’t sure about the last one but I knew some British guy found King Tut, and Howard Carter sure sounds like some British guy’s name.

Well done

Level 83

Nice work. Not many 10s out there today. I was going slow but really had no trouble until Q10. Couldn't decide between Tut and MP. 9/10

Level 77

Jan 25, 2026

I had some lucky guesses there to get a solid 8/10

Level 53

Jan 25, 2026

7/10 got 4, 6 and 8 (could only exclude the author) wrong. Golf balls was an A option guess.

Stairway (not staircase) to heaven!

9/10 today, Titleist got me, never heard of them and couldn't narrow it down even a little bit 😂 Needed process of elimination for Piano Man too, but slightly surprised about how few have known polemicist so far

I guess it requires knowledge of at least two relatively rare words, and ideally all of them.

It's also arguably open to interpretation, especially phrased as *might* write rather than *most likely to* write. See eg Blaise Pascal's Provincial Letters for very polemical works which are also essentially homilies, and there have been plenty of polemical eulogies - Jasper Williams on Aretha Franklin, Earl Spencer on Princess Diana etc.

Level 61

Genau. There's heaps of polemical poetry out there as well.

Level 66

Jan 25, 2026

Agree with DM...I got Q6 but I think it was very open/imprecise. And some people might associate screed as the past tense of leveling wet concrete pads.

Level 84

Jan 25, 2026

I missed polemicist, had to think on 3 or 4, was reasonably happy with a 9/10

Level 64

Jan 25, 2026

I finally got a sports question right--Titleist--because once in high school my friend's dad who golfed told me about them. But I had Piano Man completely memorized, on the piano, years before high school.

Level 78

Jan 25, 2026

9/10. Messed up deist. Also did not know the lyrics of Piano Man, but luckily knew the other three songs.

Level 66

Jan 25, 2026

Essential lyrics....Piano Man & Bohemian Rhapsody...and American Pie

Level 58

Jan 25, 2026

These questions were tough for me - 5/10

Level 97

Jan 25, 2026

8/10 with a surprising amount of correct guesses

Level 56

Jan 25, 2026

9/10, missed #8.

Dementia pugilistica is an old term for CTE.

*Annoyed sounds*

When I understand the 'ist' words, I don't understand the possible choices 😭

For some reason, I though Caulfield was the antagonist, so used what I thought was the elimination system and got the random pilgrim person (nearly clicked Scout somehow)

Level 66

Total 70s quiz, except for the obscure Q6...& the drug one, which I missed..and the bible one but that was pretty easy. But Catcher in the Rye, Slaughterhouse-5, Billy Joel, the gimongous King Tut artifact discovery tours (of which I had to forego my very expensive ticket in 1976). Really helped to be a teenager in the 70s on this one!

Level 64

Jan 25, 2026

You're right, but I didn't even notice the shadow theme of 1970s. Now we're getting two themes per quiz!

Level 66

Jan 25, 2026

What the heck is an agonist? Eternal agony? Is this like Prometheus?

Level 35

Jan 25, 2026

I9/10. I never heard of the word screed- i know poly means a lot but none of the other choices stood out.

Level 84

Jan 25, 2026

9/10 today was hard! Props to anyone who hit 10
