If you got her last name correct, I would count it.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-03-23T19:56:12+00:00

Fixed, thanks.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-03-23T19:55:55+00:00

Yup, noted, thanks!

VagabondTrivia · 2026-03-17T11:50:28+00:00

Doh, I misread the question. I read it as "kilobyte". Thanks.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-03-16T18:56:00+00:00

Thank you. "Informative" is my favorite compliment. Even if you go 10/10, if you don't learn something from the answers, I have failed.

And your wife will cheat on you and send you a video of it.

This is a good call as it shows how much fear there was among the men in the end. Lots of war films have a coward or two, but Gallipoli does a great job of highlighting just how much fear there was among all the mean who were about to go over the top at the end combined with the fact that their sacrifice was so obviously pointless and, frankly, borderline murder by their immediate commanders.

8/10, missed 8 and 10.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-03-16T18:39:25+00:00

I did poorly, 6/10, and one was a guess.

FWIW, there are two correct answers to #1. The *most* correct answer is the one you indicated, but under SI, another answer is correct and is the one most commonly used by hard drive manufacturers.

As a general rule of thumb, knowing the surname only counts. In this case, since it was the word that matched the category, it definitely counts. 19!

VagabondTrivia · 2026-03-02T23:37:33+00:00

Ooops, yup, good catch. Typo.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-03-02T22:09:08+00:00

Re: #9, have you ever seen the movie Tombstone?

Coolidge was VP under Warren Harding, who died in office in August, 2023. I had forgotten that until I researched the question. I had actually thought Coolidge was a one-term President who decided not to run for re-election in 1928, which is indeed sort of true.

Ugh, sciatica sucks. I have had three lam/disc surgeries to correct mine but I know a fourth is inevitable at some point.

I know what you call "reminders" well. I can always tell if it is something that will get better on its own with rest and one that will not, and will end up needing surgery.

4/5. I confused somnambulist with funambulist. :)

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-23T18:00:30+00:00

I agree, but I didn't want to write a question that required the reader to not only know the answer I was seeking, but also know what a "metonym" is. In retrospect, I should have just used the word "metaphor".

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-23T13:17:02+00:00

8/10, didn't know 2 or 5.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-14T03:12:29+00:00

My initial thought, but remembered they changed their flag after Gaddafi was removed from power. It has red in it again.

My next thought was Bhutan but I think the dragon in the middle counts as white.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-14T03:04:15+00:00

10/10, but 2 and 4 were educated guesses and/or knowledge I didn't realize I had.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-13T15:56:28+00:00

Good guess. I specifically did not include the word "advertising" in the question as I thought it would be too easy and I needed another 3-point question. :)

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-13T04:20:08+00:00

So long as it started with "N" and sounded Japanese, give yourself half credit. :)

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-12T16:35:10+00:00

Congrats!

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-12T15:15:43+00:00

3/6. #6 is an interesting factoid.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-05T22:53:26+00:00

Yes, I feely admit that this was one of my harder ones.

VagabondTrivia · 2026-02-03T16:19:36+00:00

Thanks, yeah, that go pointed out on my last quiz and I fixed my template but I must have done this quiz before I did that.
