Question 11 is really bothering me: I'm sure it's going to enbd up being something really obvious and I just can't figure it out. Although I didn't have too many problems figuring out the obscure answer to question 20. Go figure...

Hey, I thought question 11 was almost the easiest of the lot as well. One never knows, does one?

I think that was my first submission - I realised what I had done immediately. Sorry.

And once again Decebal upsets the moderators by answering the last question! Sleepy



It's good to have a European moderator to fill in our "night shift"!  Unfortunately, I have to be up late tonight doing work. Hopefully the same is not true for tomorrow night! Wink

(cant PM you)

I can receive PM's now. I had my inbox all full again and forgot to clear room.

Fun! Especially question 16, well put. I'm surprised no one else has gotten question 11 yet.

1. The reason why it is more difficult this time around is we decided not to post the author's name.  In the past, the author's name usually hints on a specific region or area of expertise for the quiz taker.

2. Whoever gets number 20 correct will earn extra brownie points in my heart!

"When you say 'century' do you mean a hundred years or more or less? It should be exactly hundred so is it? (Just clarifying, for this can confuse a logic or too, it was in one of the last questions.)"

I've changed it to "about a century." Thanks for the clarification request.

Wow looks like this edition is rather difficult. Poirot thought that the previous edition was too easy since the questions got swept in the first update, so we made it a little harder this time around.

I would like to hear a few words on the questions:

When you say 'century' do you mean a hundred years or more or less? It should be exactly hundred so is it? (Just clarifying, for this can confuse a logic or too, it was in one of the last questions.)

And when you say 'empire' you mean Empire, right? Not just a large block of land (like the Russian Empire contra Egyptian Empire)?


A century means about 100 years, plus or minus a few years.  A few decades means n x 10 years, where 1<n<7.

Empire should mean that the ruler calls himself or herself emperor or a word in the native tongue that is equivalent of emperor

It should be clear this time.
