“In history, there have been three defenestrations” etc - just a small grammatical correction for an excellent quiz

Wikipedia calls it an astronomical clock. Does it tell my horoscope?

It's primarily made of 3 giant discs, 2 of which are devoted to displaying the zodiac signs (one pictorially, one by their symbols). Take a look.

Great quiz, I've been enjoying the series so far ! But just to be petty, it would be called an "astronomical clock", and not an "astrological clock".

Astronomical clocks already typically display zodiacal signs.

"Přag" sounds ridiculously funny to a Czech speaker, I'm glad we don't call it that! :D Great quiz btw, thanks for making a quiz about my country's capital. I liked the varied selection of questions which didn't just revolve around the most obvious answers!
