Well, that was easy ;). A few remarks. Our greeting "Bonjour" is a single word (not "Bon Jour"). Joan of Arc was not from Orleans (she was from Lorraine), she famously took part in the battle for its liberation. You should accept "radium" for the Curie question.

I wonder if you might consider accepting the Battle of Vimy Ridge for V? More Canadian quiz-takers would be familiar with that than Verdun.

Anybody who doesn't know of Verdun doesn't know anything about WWI. But technically yes, Vimy Ridge would be an acceptable alternate answer, I guess...

As a Canadian Vimy Ridge is the first V I thought of, should be acceptable as an alternate to Verdun (or the clue changed)

As an Australian I immediately thought of Villers-Bretonneux. That battle was so significant to Australia that every blackboard in the French town bears the inscription "N'oublions jamais l'Australie" (Let us never forget Australia). Villers-Bretonneux should be an accepted answer.

There are certainly other battles from WW1 that start with V, but let's be real; Verdun is the right answer. Every list of the most important battles of the war includes Verdun, even if something else is more memorable in your particular country or province.

They (and I) are asking for Vimy Ridge to be acceptable since it was, indeed, an extremely bloody WWI battle. We aren't saying that Verdun should be replaced, only that our answer be accepted since it very much satisfies the clue.

Then perhaps all the people complaining they only know one smaller "V" battle could do what the quizzes are intended to do....learn about a major event in history that shaped our current lives.

50 million artillery shells, more or less, were fired around the little town from February to December. To this day, numerous people are killed every year from WW1 shells there and much of the surrounding area is forbidden area where nothing grows even 100 years later.

Historically, Verdun was a division line between Germanic and Latin speaking Europe. Charlemagne was crowned in 800 A.D. as emperor of the Franks when his empire unified all of what were always traditional German & French lands. He was the 1st ruler to control large swaths of German and French areas since the Roman Empire and would be the last until Napoleon, then Hitler. The empire was divided soon thereafter with the Treaty of Verdun. It was a heavily fortified symbolic town at the dividing line for the next 11 centuries.

Small issue with the quiz, France has 2 major mountain ranges that start with A, The Alps, which aren't entirely in France, and the Ardennes, which are. Please make it an acceptable answer.
kolp

Level 87
Nov 22, 2015
The Ardennes are 1. barely a mountain range (4 peaks over 600m, 8 peaks over 500, it's really just hilly terrain). 2. Mostly in Belgium and Luxembourg. Alps is clearly the only correct answer.
Arp2600

In Belgium, we consider the Ardennes as plateaus. There is an old eroded mountain, but indeed, it's too low to still be considered as such.

Jul 14, 2021
Regardless of the merits of whether Ardennes should be accepted or not, these quizzes allow you to have as many attempts as time will allow, so if you tried Ardennes and it didn't work, then the quiz is asking for something else that fits the description. Quizzes are supposed to be something of a test after all, not an easy type anything and it will be accepted exercise (not literally, but you get the point).

As a Quebecer, I love to see Quebec as an answer, but I suggest you to change it for Quimper, the major city of Brittany.
Arp2600

Level 86
Nov 22, 2015
Absolutely, Québec hasn't belonged to France for 250 years, so it's a bit of a stretch. Quimper would be more appropriate, as the prefecture of Finistère.

In no way is Quimper the major city of Brittany. Rennes, Vannes, Brest are bigger, and I'd argue that Lorient and Saint-Malo are more famous.

But at least it's French, which is not the case for Québec.

Nov 23, 2020
No one's going to know the fifth largest city in Brittany -- nor probably even the second -- so it's useless as a clue to mention that it's the whateverth largest. Might as well just say that it's a city in Brittany and then the clue will always be correct. Left as is, there will be city proper vs. metro, and its position will change after every census.

There are also towns called Quimperlé and Quiberon in Brittany. So the clue should be more specific than just a city in Brittany starting with Q.

A few corrections for you :

i should be I

french should have a capital F

u is a letter and should be you

bordeaux should have a capital B

Bordeaux is both a city and a wine region covering a far greater area than the city

English must be the only language where "I" is written as a capital letter, while "you" starts with a lower case y.

In the german language it's just the opposite - "ich" starts with a small i, while the first letters of "Du", "Sie", "Ihr",... are capitalized, if they directly adress someone.

It's a matter of politeness.
