The BBC one is wrong. It was founded in 1922, yet after is apparently the right answer.

It was correct for me (and does not seem to have been updated since 3 july). Meaning it showed "before" as the correct answer.

If you get an answer wrong, the incorrect answer gets a line through it, and shows in red, the correct answer is grey and shows a tick (V).

The Queen was crowned in June 1953, not 1952.

the coronation happened in 1953, but she began her rule in 1952, so the wording should be changed

Perhaps the phrasing of the ascent question could be changed? Because ascent by itself doesn't mean that it had to be successful or completed all the way.

Super easy quiz. Only the world population question had me thinking for a moment. Got it right in the end, but it was more like a hunch than an educated guess.
