You need a LOT of type-ins and need to accept Augustus and Octavian. You need to accept Mary and you need to do type-ins for the assassination answer . People will put execution, murder etc... just accept Franz Ferdinand. Also accept Maya or Mayan . Mayans is incorrect grammar. Because you had so many typos I got 12 and beat 95 percent of the people who took this quiz.

Magellan never circumnavigated the world.

Da Gama was the first EUROPEAN to visit India by sea.

Queens Matilda and Lady Jane Grey might have something to say about the first English female leader.

As for THE name of THE ship which sank in WWI, although I guessed it, the question is loose - there were several iconic ship sunk during the war.

Zero was “invented” independently by various civilisations at various times. While the Mayans did indeed use zero, to my knowledge, Indian scholars were the earliest on record with the concept.
