Typing between 800 and 809 results in a whammy on the Battle of Tours question (732).

Fixed. Thanks!

The regexes were a bit tough to get right without writing a script. AI was useless.

Charlemagne was emperor of France, not of the romans ? The western Roman Empire had been gone for 300years at that time

He was crowned as Emperor of the Romans. He was already King of the Franks.

"Emperor of the Romans" was a title given to a king by the Pope. He had been King of the Franks for many years by then. France didn't exist back then.

He was effectively reforming the WRE.

It split quickly, reforming as the HRE by Otto in 962 on one side, and the Kingdom of France for the other part.

Imo this could be more strict. 100 years is a long time. Maybe a "which came first?" for the Middle Ages - or one of those timeline ordering quizzes.

Having 100 years feels far too forgiving.

It definitely made it pretty straightforward. Plenty of these I didn't know the precise year, but with a 100 year margin of error it was an easy 100%.

Not really - the average score is 8, 50%. A perfect quiz.

There's a weak correlation between later years and higher correct percentages (r=.43), but years after 1000 are definitely better known (post-1000 years have a mean correct percentage of 55, vs 37 for pre-1000). I suspect that knowledge of history between about the time of Constantine and 1066 is generally pretty weak.

It may also be that I'm not the only one who was taught that the Middle Ages start at 800 or 1000, depending on your definition.

You can get a decent score by just typing 800 a bunch of times
