Ouch! I had a very bad one today! Two of my incorrect answers, I actually knew but was rushing to see if I could beat my time. Won't be doing that again!
Funny, I found the questions easy and most have a high % of right answers, so I guess others are with me. Just got the slavery and roasting questions wrong.
10/10 for me too...fairly easy, had to think through the slavery Q. The key on Q9 is 'mechanical', has to to with gear ratios. Anyone ever been to the National Scottish Museum & watched he Millenium Clock Tower? It is crazy cool.....
67% means a lot of people watched Phineas and Ferb. I've never seen anything about them on the internet; it was on TV when my kids were little and I learned aglet along with them.
I noticed quite recently that my phone snoozes for 9 minutes, which seemed weird. If not for that would’ve gone 5 or 15. Obviously based on the historical standard for mechanical clocks.
Looked it up and apparently they wanted to make it 10 but it was hard to do that mechanically with gears so they went with 9.
When I was at school I always used to time my bedside alarm to go off at 7.42 so that I could have two snoozes before getting up. I did wonder at the time why it was specifically 9 minutes. And I still wake up at 7.42 from time to time 30 years on!
9/10 for me today, the snooze threw me. My instinct said 5, but the one on my phone is 15, which is what I ended up going with just in case that was the default for a reason. Would never have guessed 9 in a million years 😂
10/10....In 1959 my sister & I each got GE Princess Radio clocks for Christmas, she got pink, I got blue. Snooze was 9 minutes. It was so nice to fall asleep to KFWB Top 40.
Yes, the Irish sea is between UK and Ireland. 😊
P&F REFERENCE!!!!!!!

Don’t forget it!

I got the last one wrong ):
Unfortunately I never owned a mechanical alarm clock to snooze.
You are #3 on your friend leaderboard!
I have fast friends.
Started strong, then i missed one i should have known, and then went into a "death spiral" and missed the next two, cause i was so mad at myself!
