Same here, breezed the first half, little bit of a lucky misspelling of Bataan that was accepted, but I missed Aachen, Rijeka, Grozny, and Tainan. Kinda gutted I didn't blind guess the last one lmao. Very much enjoyed this quiz though, I like a challenge.
Also, genuinely shocked to see Slough has the lowest percentage correct (at the time of this comment), but I guess that's my Brit bias showing lol
I didn't watch the office, but picked a town in Brkshire that I'd not miss if it were bombed. A choice of three, but the other two have got too many letters.
Totally agree, I love tough quizzes like this one that provide a challenge, although I would be lying if I was to say I enjoyed racking my brain while answering some of them.
Side note, it always is frustrating when you know exactly what the question meant and have a general idea, yet can't remember the exact answer. So close, yet so far..
Here's Ricky Gervais in The Office reading the poem Slough by Sir John Betjeman for those who were wondering what "come friendly bombs" was a reference to.
Was pleased with myself for knowing that the six-letter city of Exeter has a 15th century astronomical clock... but it's the wrong one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exeter_Cathedral_astronomical_clock).
Fun quiz. Mole sauce is traditionally linked to both Puebla (as in Mole Poblano) and Oaxaca, so it would be reasonable to accept either as a correct answer, not just Oaxaca.

19/20. Can't believe I missed Jersey - doh
Disappointed that I blanked on Navajo…
Funnily enough if they'd referenced Slow Horses instead of The Office I'd have gotten that one.
Also this quiz hasn't been added to the series linked in the caveat
