There is only around 23,000 points available at the moment - so I think that equates to a level 78 being the highest at this time.

4 years later, I can say for certain someone reached level 100! It's Dwo. I don't know much about them, but I have read in the past they were one of the first users on the site who wasn't directly connected to Quizmaster. Dwo, if you're reading this, congratulations!

There may be others as well, but none that I am aware of.

Some French criminals used to be given the option of escaping prison if they serve in the Foreign Legion. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but it has not always been solely for foreigners.

Actually just over fifty percent of the Legion are Frenchmen and nearly all the officers are.

While it's okay for the officers to be recognized as French the mere mortals who join hide the fact they speak such good French by being given I.D that says they're Belgian, Swiss or Canadians.

At least that was the case when I was in. The numbers may have shifted slightly after the Iron Curtain dropped and the massive influx of economic refugees vying for a space.

So, technically the idea that it's "mainly" foreigners isn't true though very few people outside of it would be aware.

I randomly just came here from GK quiz #202, which had the question "What group of people did Tsar Alexander II free in 1861?" - Didn't expect that knowledge to come in so handy so quickly!

For the Punic War question, I thought it was asking for a person - I now realise that couldn't be the case (turns out they were fought over more than 100 years) but is there a way to make this clearer, say by asking for a nation/state?

It should be noted that "voilà" actually means THERE it is. If you want to say HERE it is, the word is "voici". They literally mean "see there" and "see here" respectively.

Tibet was the last country to abolish serfdom, in the 1950s, so I went with #2 to get the answer.

I didn't know the end of serfdom answer and had to google. Sent me down a sad rabbit hole of podcasts, documentaries and history accounts of Tibet. Please change the answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36JqvTdg2fo
