Had to use process of elimination for Chris Columbus. It slowed me down, but still managed a 10/10.

That last question is tricky, since three of the answers are people native to the Caribbean.

Huh. I’ve never heard of the Carib or Kalinago. Always neat to learn entirely new information.

It’s where the word cannibal comes from IIRC - someone misread “Carib” as “Canib” and because they were thought to eat human flesh the term “cannibal” was coined and stuck around even after the mistake was fixed.

Level 58

Wow, first 9/10 in a while !

Level 66

Slightly ponderous 10/10, process of elimination on Q5/Q9....dithered on C or D on Q10, closed my eyes & got it. BTW for readers, 'The Devil in the White City' is an excellent non-fiction about the 1893 Chicago Expostion & a parellal story about a serial killer of young women in Chicago at the same time. The exposition itself, striving to exceed the 1889 Paris Exposition which centered on the new Eiffel Tower, introduced a plethora of inventions, food products, entertainments, & the juxtapositioned murder story was very disturbingly dark. It's an easy read in terms of the author's writing.

Maybe Harry Potter was used to make the question harder but Chris Columbus is better known for directing Home Alone.

Level 57

Mar 29, 2026

That would imply that Home Alone (although I love it) is better known than Harry Potter, which would be a tough argument, looking at the box office figures:

Home Alone did $477M wordwide ($1.15B) compared with Harry Potter 1's $975M (~$1.73B today, applying US CPI, not 'ticket price' inflation).

And Home Alone arguably does better on resales due to it being a Christmas story.

And that's before considering the rest of the series (Home Alone basically falling off a cliff after 2 while HP stayed strong throughout, financially).

8 today ! Thought it was a hard quiz. So quite pleased !

Level 70

Mar 29, 2026

8/10. I was going to say Chicago, but then I decided maybe it wasn't in the US and said Buenose Aires. Then I chose smallpox before I saw syphillis. That may have given me pause and I may have answered that, but we'll never know now.

Level 64

Mar 29, 2026

9/10 went too quick on the last one because I've been looking at Taino art, but I should've thought of Caliban from The Tempest.

Level 42

Mar 29, 2026

I would strongly suggest rephrasing the 6th question. It is not European city, European-founded would be much more precise imho.

Level 72

Mar 29, 2026

Nooo the last question :(

Level 95

I’ve been to the Columbia River, and even worked on a documentary on the Grand Coulee Dam… picked California anyway. 🤦
