As suggested by xTigeRx, these are all of the questions I got wrong on the daily trivia challenges this past month. If this is popular enough I'll go back and make more for previous months.

The lucky country, as a nickname for Australia, comes from a famous and controversial 1960s book. It was not intended as a compliment, but it is often mistaken for one.

11/14. Somewhat fittingly all three of the ones I missed here I also missed on the DTC

I think this is an excellent idea for a quiz, Frankii. Hope you decide to do one for this month too
