    This is hard! There are enough that fall into “I know a little about this, maybe I can make a lucky guess” to keep me going, but also a surprising amount of super niche things like 8th century nation-states and Romanian tennis stars… things that I’ve never remotely heard of and wouldn’t stand a chance of guessing. But when niche stuff I do know about comes up I get to feel extra smart. It’s kind of like a harder Jeopardy!

    I appreciate the endgame stats so you can see that basically everybody’s as unsophisticated as you, afterward.

          When I saw the answer I recognized it. I have put the Catholicism deep in my brain rather than in active memory. This is probably for the best all things considered. (Though I do enjoy Da Pope)

        No skin off my nose. I hope you were otherwise successful even if just by a whisker and that you didn't go barking up too many trees. If you did though, don't blubber about it. I'll still clap you...

        Besides,


        Bringing ladies home by their skins is a good way to end up drowned.

    Only got 3 of ten, one about a political figure, one about a religious figure, one about a film genre, the rest were foreign to me or I was off by just a bit. Fun game though!
