That is a new question that was created by QM when he featured it, unfortunately I haven't looked at the quiz in long enough to remember what was replaced but maybe he will change it back if he deems it an issue.

My logic is this.

1) Dimby is smart

2) Dimby often makes jokes

3) The question is not inappropriate

Therefore I conclude that he is making some obscure reference I don't understand.

It's inappropriate because people aren't "hung" unless you're discussing their... uh... y'know....

If you mean executed by rope, the word you're looking for is "hanged".

Ned Kelly was hanged, he wasn't hung.

I mean, he may have been hung also, but history books don't tend to record that kind of detail.

For any Sydney people out there, the answer for Melbourne being southernmost is equally apt as sunniest.

5/10, I always confuse Melbourne with Brisbane but Australia is about as fictional as Narnia to me

What's the point of the COVID question? Seems unnecessarily specific. As time goes on it will become irrelevant. It's like asking what the operating budget was in 1998. Not really a trivia question.

Melbourne was infamous among right-wing commentators for having the world's longest lockdown by cumulative number of days

It was world news. Also had the longest amount of covid lockdown days in the world. Records tend to be part of trivia quizzes...

Having lived through it is as relevant now as it will be when I tell my grandchildren this is why our city is completely screwed!

It's Port Phillip Bay with a double "L". Not Philip.

For the 4% of people who thought James Bond was the founder of Melbourne, I just like to point out that Melbourne is not a fictional city created by MI5 to lure some cat stroking villain from out of his lair so that Bond can sneak in and disarm the nuclear device he has acquired from Bakhastani terrorists...provided he can get past the hat wielding assassin.

You're absolutely right. He instead was a billionaire bearing a masked vigilante persona who made sure the residents of his crime-riddled city were kept safe and sound against the evils within
