Interesting quiz. I gave up because some questions are too specific in the answer you're looking for. I tried extreme age etc. for Calment, entropy for the end of the universe, and I believe you mispelled the knot. Your quiz says I'm a loser, though, so what do I know? :)

Fascinating quiz.

Kicking myself over a few answers I missed (La Rinconada, Donkey, Lionel Richie (but at least I'm not a loser?) and Boltzman), but overall pretty happy with 38.

Anyway, the one I struggled with the most: Ouroboros. Any chance you could be a bit lenient with alternative spellings? I couldn't remember which vowels were just "o" and which were "ou" and definitely had to try a bunch of different permutations before finally getting it...
