Got a bit lucky with the final one, I thought it might have something to do with the word "benign" and ignorant was the only option I could kind of link to that.
Apparently there's no relation though, benighted just means "covered by night" (aka "in the dark").
A bit mean to include lonely as one of the options, as that is often how the word is used in a literary sense - i.e. a psychological or moral darkness rather than intellectual darkness.
Spent so long on the last one. Was thinking "ignorant" at first because they would be "be-NIGHTed". Still ended up going with brave lol. Ah well, 8/10 is decent given my recent form (easier quiz though)
My second best score of all time and a 10/10. I learned about the King Tut honey thing yesterday because I was watching a Brennan Lee Mulligan interview, and guessed correctly on the last one.
Also only got the honey thing because of recent knowledge, it came up in a pub quiz the other day as the only natural foodstuff that never goes bad. Otherwise I probably would've gone with wine haha
You've never opened a wine that had corked off? Good gracious, that is a benighted gap in your education! Plus the Jurassic Park stuff about amber preservation of mosquito DNA or something along those lines😊
10/10, 9,916, was pretty comfortable on all of them today. On the last one I didn't know the precise definition, but I've seen it used as a pejorative, so a process of elimination did the job
I was benighted :( Fell at the last hurdle on a 50/50! Looked up the word and it seems obvious in retrospect.
Apparently there's no relation though, benighted just means "covered by night" (aka "in the dark").
