@tolerated so, maybe that doesn't change what he had or hadn't heard of before...

If he looks at a map even if he went there now, he still hadn't heard of it, so there is nothing wrong with his comment.. it is still true.

As was mentioned in some other comments I'm pretty sure it's more notable for it's historical significance rather than current importance/size.

I don't think Algernon deserved such a snarky response - it's not like he was complaining or anything.

I hadn't heard of it either, and I have looked at maps.

It's an amazing place. Lots of remnants from the 12th century, when it was a major trade center and part of the Hanseatic League.

The question "the Mayflower started its voyage

to the New World here" - is Plymouth technically the correct answer? The Mayflower started on its voyage to the New World at Rotherhithe, near London. It then stopped off at Southampton (as planned I think) and set off with the Speedwell. They then had to turn back twice, stopping at Dartmouth and the Plymouth, due to leaks, in order to be repaired.

No, the divide runs along the Caucasus mountains between the Black and Caspian Seas before turning north along the Ural mountains. Sochi's on the European side of the line.

Significant to Americans and turkeys. The Pilgrims/Puritans, looking for religious tolerance, left England on the Mayflower and landed at what would become Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts in 1820. They later had a feast with the Native Americans which eventually led to our American Thanksgiving, a feast of roast turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and other delectables.

Ok, so they had a feast with the natives, but later killed most of them and deported them into small reservations?

Lol - the Puritans weren't looking for "religious tolerance", though. They were looking to the freedom to practice their own religion - they were quite happy indeed to restrict anyone else's rights!

fitheach

Level 58

The city and the oblast are most definitely not called Königsberg (there has never been an oblast with that name). The question mentions specifically the oblast so Kaliningrad can only be the correct answer. Königsberg is the old name of the city when it was part of the German Reich, but the question isn't asking about the city.

Very nice quiz: not too centered around few countries, and all of the entries are historically and/or geographically relevant, so it's reasonable to expect people to know them.

Well done!

Why are there three + cities for some countries, but Poland, with a population of 38 million, is totally omitted? I feel kind of offended.

Here's a suggestion from me for some questions.

It had the biggest Jewish community in Europe before WW2 (Warsaw/Warszawa)

Fahrenheit, Schopenhauer and Wałęsa were born here / A free city in a period between the World Wars (Gdańsk/Danzig)

The oldest university in Poland (est. In 1364) is located here (Kraków/Cracow)
