Apparently some people like it because it's got a retro feel to it and they get a sense of nostalgia but it's actually really boring.

I always have the feeling that in these kind of quizzes (yesterday's too) events that happened more recently October-December are much more representated (either that or nothing happened at the beginning of the year)

So I call this quiz too fall-centric

I am wondering if Greenland would actually vote to join the United States if they had the option. It seems that Greenland is not a member of the EU, so Greenland residents have limited rights to immigrate to a different country (correct me if I'm wrong - it's complicated). If Greenland joined the U.S. it would open up a lot of opportunities. The option to move to Florida might seem awfully tempting this time of year.

Honestly, I doubt the U.S. would have to buy Greenland as Greenland has a great deal of autonomy and Denmark would likely cede ownership if the people of Greenland voted to leave.

The proposal is not nearly as wacky as it seemed to me at first:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_the_United_States_to_purchase_Greenland#2019

If there are any JetPunk users from Greenland, I'd love to hear what you think!

While Greenland is not part of the EU, Greenland citizens are still EU citizens by their Union with Denmark, so they have solid rights on Free Movement.

The "buy"-Part was the whacky part about it. You can't buy a country like real estate, and we're not living in colonial times anymore.Of course, Greenland choosing to leave the Union with Denmark and join the US would be entirely possible, not a big problem for Denmark and a big *** You to Puerto Rico.

Although it is to say, that that would most likely mean, that the US had to take on the massiv subsidies, the EU and Denmark are putting into Greenland right now, mostly for the benefit of Big Companies who could more freely exploit the Greenlandic Ressources that are freed through climate change.

If Greenland really does have those natural resources, it would pay for itself. I don't know why Puerto Rico would care. They've voted against statehood many times. But, yes, if Greenland citizens have free movement within the EU there is not much reason for them to want to join the US.

@Quizmaster, i have to say i'm extremely disappointed that you failed to include not only the biggest and most important story of the year, but as a 39 year old, quite possibly the most important story of my lifetime, which was the arrest, incarceration, and subsequent murder of Jeffrey Epstein. frankly, it's omission is stunning and inexcusable.

Biggest story of your lifetime, though, really?

Dec 31, 2019
It has to be a joke. I’m pretty sure the only reason why he is mentioned so much is because he died around the same time Trump’s impeachment was starting to take place so right-wing conspiracy wackos were trying to drive people’s attention away from that and focus on the possibility that Epstein didn’t kill himself and whoever did was bribed by democrats or something. It’s crazy.

Well... There is no direct route between Sydney and New York. They do have a Sydney to New York route but (QF11) that goes SYD-LAX-JFK therefore it is not a direct route. The longest Qantas flight out of Sydney is to Dallas (QF8). The longest flight in the world is SQ21 between Singapore and Newark.

Not to be a total ass but shuldn't it be about the London to Sydney test flight in that case as it is even longer? (Also tested in 2019)

Haha. Looks like they tested that too (and London is 3 minutes further away). But the question is still correct since it doesn't say anything about longest flight.

I'd call stranger things a fantasy-horror show, rather than science-fiction. In my understanding, science-fiction depicts a somewhat futuristic setup where scientific/technical breakthroughs have altered the world in a meaningful way.

Apr 18, 2020
737 is written already, but I absolutely agree that 737 Max should be accepted. Often people read the clue and type the correct answer without checking what the answer column says. The complete correct answer, regardless of what is already given, should always be accepted.
