I feel the quiz is intentionally a "what facts were you taught in school that are now straight-up wrong?" knowledge check.

[@Binary7]

Yup, exclusive taste areas on the tongue are also a myth

[@ajardoor]

Yeah, the game is set in the 90s, so it intentionally trips you up there in a clever way.

[@DarkPlague20]

it occurs to me now that the mermaid quiz is even trickier then you might think, while this game is currently set in 1990, the park closed in 1988 so that's the latest the info in the quiz could be from

[@ss5ringo]

Nations of the World by Yakko Warner was my guide for the European countries question. Yeah, I still remember most of it.

[@LadyLilligant]

The mermaid facts being out of date is great, what a great detail.

[@Kaptinark]

2:50 IIRC, before the current theory of a meteor being behind the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, it was believed to be a massive volcanic eruption or eruptions. There is old artwork of dinosaurs that depict it. Its a shame, because you did point out that the game takes place in 1990, A quick wiki-check says that the meteor theory was first proposed in 1980, but it took over a decade of research before it became the leading theory.

[@asskicker4000]

It is shown that way in the first Fantasia movie

[@RockingSpaceDragon]

Woolie saying "Shotgun please" as they walk in the complete opposite way from the shotgun to investigate the disc they got after being distracted for the third time had me fuckin weeping

[@Dragonsmana]

Pretty sure the first answer in Mermaid Quiz is 410 billion cops.

[@danhectic5629]

fun fact: i have 1.9k likes on a dumb comment 'only $410 billion' that i left on a Teenage Engineering product short. thanks for internet fame SBF RIP in peace in peace shitlords!

[@stargrace420]

Woolie vs trivia Woolie vs reading comprehension Woolie vs himself

[@blackdragoncyrus]

Ummm, Woolie, i think Europe is a lot larger than you think it is.

[@TyrantPope]

It's not but it has a lot of small and micro-nations.

[@pluemas]

​@@TyrantPope What??? Europe is larger than the US by landmass...

[@crowclaw]

They were thinking of the EU

[@GeassEnabler]

But the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia were still around in 1988.

[@pluemas]

@@GeassEnabler that doesn't mean that they weren't geographically European countries, even if some of them were part of the USSR. There were 34 countries in Europe in 1988.

[@themanimal07]

Something tells me this whole episode is going to be figuring out this arcade puzzle

[@blackandwhiteful]

Europe and the European Union are two different things Woolie.

[@LeonAcevedo]

As New Yorker, saying the empire state building is the biggest when the The twin towers is part of the selection is freaking hilarious. 😂

[@Xunkun]

Cobain! ............. cuz.... Because............ Cobain didn't miss his last shot.

[@dominicstevens5851]

FoR tHe AlGoRiThM

[@MLGHazrad]

I remember hearing a fact that the cause of death of the dinosaurs had many theories from volcanic activity, diseases, and the ice age. What is weird is why did the meteor becomes a leading theory of the cause of death of the dinosaurs?

[@werdinator1234]

i believe they found what looked like a "kill-all-the-dinosaurs" sized crater/rock formation thing on the bottom of the ocean somewhere, and that lead a lot of credence to the theory. also dust particles and shit, but im not a paleontologist, so eh.

[@MrLordmonty1]

It's been awhile since I looked into this myself and my knowledge needs to be probably updated, but there is a massive crater in Mexico which most people believe to be the impact site of the asteroid that wiped out a large portion of Earth.

[@IzzyHackworth]

There's a layer of iridium marking the end cretaceous rocks all over the world, strongly suggesting a big asteroid, because most of the iridium on Earth is sunk into the mantle and core

[@pillargodplays160]

So that music at 17:03 sounds so much like Osman/Cannon Dancer to me for some reason. Ik that’s random lol.

[@pluemas]

Its always funny to me that folk out in the americas think that europe is tiny, when its actually slightly larger than the US.

[@Actual-Jesse]

We're incapable of recognizing Europe as a whole for some reason, just whatever specific country(ies) are the immediate subject of conversation

[@pluemas]

@@Actual-Jesse I wonder if it's due to the different cultures. It's easy to think of the States as a whole as it's fairly homogeneous in culture, but the differences between the France, Germany, and Poland are way more pronounced than the differences between Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Because of that we tend to be considered more as individuals, rather than parts of a larger organisation.

[@Actual-Jesse]

@@pluemas That's pretty likely to one extent or another. We also, for reasons I'll never understand, just kind of...forget? Where Eastern Europe ends and Asia begins

[@SupSatire]

Woolie's ability to overthink the simplest puzzles is incredible.

[@RainD4]

He has a reverse occam's razor mind

[@marcossanmartin2784]

I mean, because of the overthinking he was able to get the piano puzzle right in Silent Hill.

[@frankl5963]

24:35 ... I don't know what to tell you man.

[@HCF249]

We will NEVER get the shotgun, pistol run only

[@Rhaethyn]

Woolie. Guy who is interested in space, ecology, and climate change here, with a degree focusing on the lattermost. Rising sea levels is the only thing there that definitely didn't wipe out the dinos. Acid rain may have formed as a result of a volcanic eruption, and a meteorite may have caused sea temperatures to become warm enough to cause a "hypercane" - basically a turbo-hurricane that is tall enough to pump water into the stratosphere, which would also maybe cause devastating acid rain. But currently, we think it was probably an asteroid causing a long winter, I believe, though the idea of a Flood Basalt eruption is also possible, since that's what caused the Great Dying.

[@OutlawDin0]

If only there was some kind of employee note that explained exactly where the shotgun could be found. If only Woolie had some kind of... wall-hugging methodology he can use to guarantee every room is entered and explored. If only...
