There is a lot of guessing in the answers too. Anyway this time I was one of the 3/4 that thought The Canarys were named after birds.

I think that if QM collected user demographics & did a data aggregation it would likely show that the older quiz takers have a 'farther back' innate knowledge of events that they have lived through. The younger quizzers have more knowledge of 'recent' stuff that they have lived through. I mean like...how can someone not know that Puzo wrote 'The Godfatther'...

I have had a number of times where I clicked the wrong answer because I didn't read the question closely or was more focused on producing a quick answer than the correct one. The "birds" one was an example of this for me.

Count mine as I knew it, but fast-fingered the wrong answer looking for north-east. Looking at a map it’s a little less north than I thought but wygd?

Canaries are birds but they got their name because they were first discovered on the Canary Islands.

Dog: Preso Canario giving the name 'Canary Islands' also known as Dogo Canario. Similar to the Cane Corsu which my neighbors have several of. They are both Italian mastiffs types.

It’s a very odd one. Canaries (birds) are named after the islands, which they inhabit. But the islands are named after the dogs there

Norwich FC are called the Canaries not because they play in yellow and green, but because they chose the mascot of the 16th century Dutch Protestant refugee weavers that were invited to come and live in the city to help revive the textile industry. The refugees known as ‘Strangers’ brought with them their canaries for company…we still have places named after them such as Stranger’s Hall and our football team honour their pets. Norwich is a proud city of sanctuary.

Why wouldn't it?
