I love these. Mostly because of the comments that follow...wait for it...WAIT FOR IT...

Level 83

Level 68
Apr 2, 2016
The comment section is the bast part of this quiz! Not sure which is funnier, the people who don't get it or the people offended by the people who don't get it!
+4
Level 51
Mar 24, 2015
Can you accept just "Anne"? I understand if not.
+4
Level 83
Mar 31, 2015
I had never heard the six fingers thing, so I typed in the name of every English queen including Anne but didn't get the answer so I assumed there was some other fictional queen that people were confused about being real.
+3
Level 65
May 13, 2015
Two of Henry VIII's wives were named Anne, and there were other queens with that name as well.
+4
Level 83
Jun 14, 2015
yeah I realize that but since I was just taking shots in the dark I didn't bother being more specific.
+3
Level 73
Apr 1, 2016
Exactly the same happened for me. I think, for the purposes of this quiz (not a history quiz), specificity is not that essential. Anne should be accepted.
+3
Level 32
Apr 2, 2016
No, she is always known as Anne Boleyn, not just Anne, and since Henry VIII also had a wife called Anne of Cleves, and there was a separate British monacrch named Anne, only the full 'Anne Boleyn' should be accepted
+4
Level 83
Aug 22, 2018
Whether or not she was known as Anne Boleyn was her name not Anne? And is the common convention when naming monarchs to use last names?
+4
Level 82
Apr 1, 2016
Just "Queen Anne" (in the context of British history) means the one who was queen in her own right (i.e. not as the wife of a king) in the early 18th century.
+2
Level 51
Apr 1, 2016
One year later... took it again and I thought. I swear this was Anne Boleyn after "Anne" didn't work. Fortunately, this time I actually tried Boleyn and got it!
+2
Level 62
Apr 1, 2019
Or spell her last name correctly "Berlin".

Level 69
Apr 2, 2019
I kept trying Bolelyn, for some reason, even though it obviously doesn't look right.

Good catch there, FCBarcelona. Only the most astute among us would know that the catch with the Viking question is that Vikings actually had horns. They just wore knit hats with 2 holes in them, not horned-helmets.

Darwin actually did recant the theory of evolution before he died and became a Christian he wrote a final chapter of his book where he recants it however the publishers refuse to put it in the book
+6
Level 67
Apr 1, 2016
Nope.
+1
Level 50
Apr 5, 2016
Are you sure that's not just Christian propaganda? I've seen several articles (like in The Times of all places) about how all us atheists actually believe in god or decide to when we know we are going to die. Utter rubbish.
+3
Level 74
Apr 12, 2016
That's a nice conspiracy theory, but The Origin of Species is long out of copyright, so anyone can publish it if they want to, even the select few who have seen this fabled lost last chapter.

Anyway, even if Darwin had reneged on his ideas all that would prove was that he was wrong to think he was wrong - all the work of proving that he was actually right was done long after he was dead.

+3
Level 62
Apr 1, 2019
Wrong, The way that science works is that even if a theory is widely accepted as rigorous and logical by the scientific community it can be negated by a deathbed change of heart. The science becomes null and void.

Fun quiz as always, and I do love how much I learn with these because there are always several questions which answers I'd actually always thought to be true. You know, these kind of things you hear idly but never quite bother to check. The falling apple thing, ofr instance, is one I'd heard several times, including by one of my teachers, so I always sort of took it for granted. The burning bras too - again, sort of heard it around but never studied that time period enough to actually learn or verify that it was true. (I always thought it was a very stupid thing to do though considering how bloody expensive the things are so I'm glad :-D)
