Sorry, I don't get it. I created the original on Jan 11 and it was submitted on Jan 13. Not sure why the date on the quiz says Jan 14, but it's clearly not a coincidence that this one has the same title and literally 8 of the same exact hints/answers.
It looks like a coincidence. I personally added some of the answers (Søren Kierkegaard, Sappho, and Archimedes) and I can promise I never saw your quiz @jafe. In any case, I am now subscribed to your account so I won't miss any of your new quizzes.
Pretty unbelievable :S Oh well, I'll remove the duplicate answers from my quiz and change them to something else. That way we'll at least have two distinct quizzes.
Ha that's a very entertaining quiz. I hope you do one every year for April Fools. Very lively comments too since not everybody realized the answers weren't factual
With the recent popularity of the musical, I expected Alexander Hamilton to be on the list. But then again, I guess the musical never mentions Nevis by name.
Freaking North Island. I spent 2 minutes typing every island I could think of in the Empire/Commonwealth even though I knew he was a kiwi. After minutes I realized my errors even though I had no problem with the other "tricky" ones.
It is both the name of the prefecture and the name of the largest island within said prefecture (as well as the name of a city on the island, just to complicate things further haha) so the island is real, but only the person is fictional
For Rowling, I spent a full minute randomly guessing anything that I thought could be the name of an island surrounding Great Britain, and then I finally remembered that Great Britain is, itself, an island. Facepalm.
I never got to that point, I was typing all the Scottish Islands I could remember, got as far out as St kilda, never thought to type Great Britain in...grrr, I feel like Dominic Raab, forgetting that I live on an island
Pretty impressive to have got as far as St Kilda - I don't think that anyone has been born there since 1930, so unless JK Rowling is now 93............
So I just feel a need to point this out that Jay-Z is born in Brooklyn. While yes, this is technically on Long Island in practical terms people from Brooklyn and Queens say they are from Brooklyn or Queens or NYC. Typically if you say to someone that you're from "Long Island" it means you're from Nassau or Suffolk Counties. So maybe a choice like Mariah Carey or someone should be used instead.
"While yes, this is technically on Long Island".....I always find it hilarious when people refuse to believe that Brooklyn and Queens are a part of Long Island. Sure, there may be (extremely) minor cultural differences, but an island is an island.
This was nice. If you ever update this or make part two you could add Cristiano Ronaldo (Madeira), Barnabas (Cyprus), Ingmar Bergman (Gotland), Knud Rasmussen (Greenland) and Freddie Mercury (Sanzibar).
The Hudson River is on the west, the East River is on the east, and the Harlem River is on the northeast. The ways to get to the rest of NYC is to swim (not recommended), take a ferry, or cross a bridge.
First two columns were quite straight forward, the last one well and truly sunk me.
