While I'm taking this quiz, the word "Mersey Side" came to my head. While I see the rest of answers, the word "Frankfurt am Main" came, too late, to my head.

Same for me, only without the face-palm. I'm too ignorant to fully appreciate just how ignorant you have to be for that to be completely unfamiliar. Hence, no sense of, "I should have known that!"

There are far too many rivers in that part of the world beginning with M. Moselle, Meuse, Meurthe, Marne... err... maybe just four then.

What? Umlauts shouldn't affect the answers, for instance Mänchëstër would work for Manchester.

Grammar doesn’t matter on Jetpunk, for instance, in stead of typing Sáo Tomé and Pricipé, saotome will work.

Does that begin with M? The quiz is asking for answers beginning with M, and in English the name of the mountain begins with an M.

Monte Rosa could also fit the mountain clue. It's on the Swiss-Italian border, and, as the second highest mountain in the Alps, rather prominent.

I got 12/20 without reading any of the clues, just by listing M things in Europe. If I had read the clues I would've got 15/20, so reading the clues doesn't help me very much.

Please accept Macedon for the Alexander question (or stipulate that all answers are modern-day locations).

Level 79
Feb 12, 2026
Macedon and Macedonia are the same name, referring to the same region in ancient times, which roughly corresponds with the region of Macedonia in modern Greece.

Not to be confused with the country of North Macedonia, which has no connection to the ancient Kingdom and owes its name to the Roman province that came afterwards.

Here is an example of ancient Greek using the name here: ΕΣΤΙΝ ΟΥΝ ΕΛΛΑΣ ΚΑΙ Η ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ (And Macedonia, then, is Greece)
