To be able to answer the questions correctly requires a very good memory and to have been widely ready and experienced. A high IQ need not necessarily be a requirement.

I know there's 7 continents but the countries and all the cities there in, are so vastly different from what we learned in the 60s...

John changed his second name once he was married to that doppelganger.

Yeah, Ono was his wife... not his name.

[@donaldspicer9484]

Now Robert, be nice ... you might not've taken a fancy to Ono, but remember John loved her. 'tsgotta count for something don'tcha think?

[@MrTomherzog]

Absolutely. If he took his wife's name as an adult does that really qualify as part of his middle name? Generally in Western culture formal names are bestowed at birth by parents. "Nick names" are acquired later in life but they are not considered formal.

[@jimmeade2976]

Good quiz ... I scored 92/100 ... 4 wrong in each half. a few clarifications: question 59 - The Arabian Desert is actually larger than the Gobi Desert but is considered part of the Sahara, hence the Gobi is considered the largest desert in Asia. question 81 - Big Ben refers to the bell inside the tower, which is called The Elizabeth Tower

[@johntatum1951]

The Question was for the largest in Asia...so Gobi is correct.

[@jimmeade2976]

@@johntatum1951 I agree that Gobi is the correct answer. I am just pointing out that some people say the Arabian Desert is the correct answer. Geography experts consider the Arabian Desert, which is in Asia, (mostly in Saudi Arabia) and larger than the Gobi, to be a part of the Sahara Desert, not a desert in its own right, and therefore Gobi is considered the largest. FYI, Gobi in Mongolian means desert, so to say Gobi Desert is redundant.

[@LetsPatchItUp]

​@@johntatum1951where exactly do you Believe Arabs are from? From what continent are the Arabic peoples?

[@MrTomherzog]

Not really a great quiz; there were several ambiguous answers. Sometimes the test taker is smarter than the test maker which kind of makes the whole exercise pointless.

[@Garwfechan-ry5lk]

The Arabian Desert is in Arabia and is not in Africa where the Sahara is

The test master made a mistake. Could you not tell? Poor Fritz.

[@donaldspicer9484]

Ja Fritz, sehr gut! Ich hatte das auch gesehen. He also pronounced Iago's name wrong (said Lago!) And a couple of Norwegian words incorrectly (I had trouble with them, also) However, x=9 was his biggest mistake and catching that shows you know the right answer. Bottom line-- 95 out of 100 questions & answers read correctly in succession earns an A- in my opinion UND, Fritz, du hast auch sehr gut gemacht!

The depression was not in the 20s it was in the 30s it followed the 1929 market crash next question the tower in London is not big Ben it is the Elizabeth tower which is just renamed big Ben is the bell

[@JPtogether-fg5nm]

​​@@squirellmaster1 it began in 1930 when FDR and the gov began controlling things. The market had almost totally recovered before FDR stepped in.

[@leecowell8165]

Exactly.. the crash was very late in 1929, October I believe. The depression began in the 30's in fact more toward the middle of it. Lotta people don't know the cause but it was because 90% margin buying was allowed with no other restrictions. Joe Kennedy made a fortune in the market he shorted everything. I was born in 42 and remember Dad really struggling to find decent work (he never served because he already had 2 kids).

[@cherylrobinson517]

I remembered that the crash happened in 1929...so I just "assumed" that's when the depression started. Thanks for the clarification 😊.

Quiz Time, just a free Spanish lesson here re. Q about Mexico's currency: choice #1 is KATE-sahl, named after a beautiful wild parrot down there. In 14, blood doesn't clot normally. Re. 17, 'nh' in Portuguese (choice 1) is equal to the "en-yay' in pina colada, and 'gn' in Italian and French. In reference to #38, if I remember correctly from one of my favorite old movies, Leonidas was the Greek general in the Battle of Thermopilae. In #64, you said #9, but gave the correct answer of 8. In #97, the front part of a boat/ship rhymes with 'now', and in 98, #3 is BRIZ-b'n, rather than 'bane'. I guess it depends on what you classify as "great", as I got only 78 right.

[@HeKeepsMeSinging]

If your blood doesn't clot normally then if you pricked your finger, it'd never stop bleeding. A human's clotting factor develops fully the 8th day of life. If that clotting factor is absent we're diagnosed with hemophilia.
