Quite important to note that 'many English people' are descended from Saxons is not correct. They had little impact on our wider gene pool. Please see https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/mythsofbritishancestry

It would be better to word the question as 'Germanic tribe that invaded Britain after the Romans' or put the approximate time period.

The quiz is accurate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_history_of_the_British_Isles

"A 2016 study concluded that on average 25–40% of the ancestry of modern Britons was contributed by Anglo-Saxon immigrants."

Lots of other sources confirm this. The Romans, on the other hand, did not leave much of a genetic trace.

I didn't do very well. I don't like this quiz. Those two facts are not connected. Honest. Definitely not.

I thought the mole sauce one was New Mexico. It’s says state in the country above. I must’ve typed at least 10 times hoping it would accept it once 😂

Oaxaca and Xhosa I knew, I just wasn't sure how to spell! I tried several variations of xosa, xossa, etc and xahaca, xuahaca, juaxaca, etc! Dumb I know, but I would appreciate several varied spellings being accepted for the tricky ones

"Sioux" is really a grouping of tribes, no? Not a tribe in itself.
