I was on fire today

#626 - 9.5/10 :tada:

The egg was because I thought the article was about both Butch & Sundance

22

I think I understand how this works.

Interesting.

I had no clue about the first question.

24

I (mentally) flipped a coin and lost.

Oof, I did bad today.

For the third one, I thought “Oh, I bet it’s the guy that killed Oswald. What was his name? Jack something? Jack… Rose?” Well, at least I got the first letter.

Then, I misspelled Phnom Penh.

27

Personally, when I know the answer confidently, but make a typo in the entry box, I count that as a correct answer.

I got the easy ones.

Jack Ruby, The Whale, and Minotaur.

29

That’s my favorite Chronicles of Narnia book.

I felt bad for missing #6, but the other two I wouldn’t have gotten.

Could have done better but blanked on Big Sur and put Watership Down after deciding Velveteen Rabbit was wrong - oops. Definitely two I never would have gotten: the architect and the body of water.

I am not happy that the game gave me half a point for Isabella the First of Castille when they wanted Isabella I. of Castille (or was it the other way around?). I will mentally award myself 6 points. Sorry, I mean six points.
And I don’t know whether it is the game itself or wikipedia as a whole, but the questions seem too USA-centered to be fair to non US-ians. Or maybe most of the people who suggest questions are from the USA. Perhaps I should suggest some words too, from far away? We’ll see.

35

I just wrote Isabella and got awarded full credit.

36

I like that feature. Washington Post has a daily news trivia question, but you have to spell answers exactly right. Is that Meghan Markle or Megan Markel? If I ever look things up, it’s just for the spelling. (Usually.)

I like this game. Installed the app version and put it on my home page.

37

What’s the app version called? I don’t see it on the Play Store.

I’m flabbergasted that the majority of players knew what #9 was. I guess I’m out of the loop.
