I kept typing USA, UK, and Russia for the three allied power leaders, wondering why it wouldn't take any of them. I tried every variation of spelling I could think of even to "The United States of America." Never considered you were asking for men, not countries. Sigh.

Have to say, proud of this one. Wasn't that fussed about the Spanish possessions, then suddenly thought, "Oh, Guam and Puerto Rico!", leaving only the Chinese inventions incomplete.

A very nice quiz. I would certainly add tea, silk and, yes, china to the list of important Chinese inventions. Also, you should specify that you are interested in the ships Columbus used on the first of his four voyages (of course these are by far the most famous ones, but out of respect for precision, we should acknowledge tat Columbus actually commanded many more ships in his service of the Spanish crown).

Tea comes from a plant and silk comes from a worm. I wouldn't call them inventions, more discoveries.

What? you don't discover these, they have to be processed (if not, all those poor silkworms wouldnt be cooked). That way you could say most things werent invented, because the material used for it allready excisted.

generally not, and neither does Matilda - who probably has a greater right. She was named as Henry's heir and contested the title for far longer with significantly greater support than Jane had.

I mean Matilda was never officially declared queen. Instead she was title as "Lady of the English."

Whilst Jane technically reigned she was viewed as a usurper to the throne, basically the equivalent of some random person proclaiming themself as king with the support of a few traitors and then saying "I still count as a former monarch" when they get arrested. Jane Grey obviously had more claim to the throne than that but that's the narrative that was held at the time and it has subsequently carried on through the centuries.

Clearly I am in a minority when it comes to Greek Columns. I laughed out loud when I read that question and thought ‘who the **** knows anything about Greek columns?’ Then I saw the percentage who got each answer. Either I missed out learning them, and I’m not sure when

I would ever have come across it, or a lot of people on here have some even more obscure knowledge that I realised. Or people cheat, I guess, lol.

My father studied architecture and I always heard about styles of different columns growing up. I have never had any use for the information, but I can still remember it.

We were taught these in elementary school at some point. Not sure why they were so all-fired important in comparison with other things, but there they were, maybe as part of learning about Greek mythology. As the scores indicate, they have been (at least at some point in the past) pretty widely included as part of general education.

I believe the columns are generally taught because it shows the degrees of influence that the Greeks had in other cultures. That’s what I remember my elementary school teacher saying anyway.

Philadelphia is not a US capital city. Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania, not Philadelphia. If you mean original capitals of the country, you may want to reword the clue.

There were various other US national capitals prior to 1800.

Trenton served for a month;

Annapolis for 8 months.

That said these are all kind of confusing but perhaps a caveat would help explain?

There were more than just three cities that were the capital of the United States, including Baltimore and Annapolis, Lancaster and York, Pennsylvania, and Trenton and Princeton in Jersey. While these were all used prior to 1787, the United States was still very much an independent nation, especially after 1783
