I got #54: "Velociraptors had feathers." Now that is definitely not a coincidence!!!!

BTW is the Great Pyramid no longer one of the seven wonders of the ancient world?

Verb tenses are so imprecise. I was debating whether to use past or present tense for that one, but I think past tense is better. We're no longer in the ancient world.

You should use ‘is’ because the question is about the seven wonders of the ancient world. ‘Was’ implies that it isn’t an ancient wonder any more

They not only lived there but they also were all regular customers at the Café Central, a coffeehouse were people used to sit and discuss current affairs or play cards or chess. To think that Stalin and Hitler might have played a game of chess there while Freud walked by casually saying something along the lines of, Meine Herren, this does not look good at all...

Let's face it. Freud would've been in the bathroom snorting lines. He was a notorious cocaine fiend.

When using practise as a verb, it should be spelt with an ‘s’. Even in British English, there is no such word as ‘practiced’.

Isn't the pyramid still a Wonder of the Ancient World? When you say was it made me think that it was asking if it no longer was a Wonder.

Is it one of them? Yes.

Was it one of them? Still Yes.

I don't see the problem here.

Considering that Herodotus (likely) made the original list of the 7 Wonders of the World, using the past tense here makes sense. This is not a current list that gets updated. When people refer to the 7 Wonders of the World, they are by default referring to the list made thousands of years ago.
