I had "bill cash" in mind for some reason and typed that. Accidentally typed a random sequence of maybe two-three letters on top of that and got Benjamin Netanyahu off the back of it. How strange.

I enjoyed this quiz but as always, I bemoan that nearly all the answers are from pop-culture, sports, or politics. Would be nice to see a few answers from the fields of science, literature, art, etc.

I notice this on TV quiz shows as well as on quiz sites such as jetpunk. The questions have slowly become less and less on general knowledge of an educational worth to the over preponderance of questions regarding movies, pop culture, cartoons and comics. Maybe with the advent of mobile phones, computers, laptops, virtual reality games etc. people are not reading books anymore, and have no reason to learn anything because as a friend of mine says " I can look it up"....... it is a shame though I think.

I'd dispute the concept of 'general knowledge of educational value': I can list all the capitals of sovereign nations, but all that tells me is their names - it doesn't give me the ability to find them on a map, or to understand anything about what it's like to live there.

It's called 'trivia' for a reason, and to pretend otherwise is pompous.

A minor correction – David Bowie judged the 'walk-off' in 'Zoolander'. Billy Zane was present, supporting Derek, but did not judge the competition.

That ‘Sultan of Swat’ clue is bloody tricky for those of us not from north America. The sport in question has virtually no presence in Europe and whilst I knew the answer when I saw it, I have never heard him referred to by those nicknames. I dare say I’m not alone.

Google nGram suggests you're wrong on that one Algernon. Babe Ruth appears plenty in published works of British English since the 1920s, more so than many famous soccer players. In fact, Babe Ruth appears more commonly in British English than Diego Maradona for the past few decades. I'd think this suggests that Babe Ruth was famous worldwide, not just in the USA. I can also say that I've never mentioned Babe Ruth to a Canadian adult who didn't know who I was talking about.

Not arguing about who Babe Ruth was, yes his name and association with Baseball is worldwide knowledge. Agree with Algernon about rest of world, I knew exactly who Babe Ruth was and his connection to Baseball, I just couldn't connect those nicknames I'd never heard before to baseball. I would have had that in seconds if it said something like Baseball legend in the same way Brucey was connected to Martial Arts.

Your not knowing Babe Ruth's nickname suggests to me that you have not been paying attention. I have no time for baseball, yet 'the Sultan of Swat' has somehow wormed its way into my brain.
