Since I might have peoples' attention for a moment (Can no longer edit my original post). Might I suggest the King William's college quiz this Christmas?

Thanks for posting. This was fun! Towards the end it gets really hard. Merry Christmas!


Towards the end?! I can't answer ANY of the questions!


You're not expected to know the answers without doing research. https://britbrief.co.uk/education/schools/king-williams-coll...

>The paper carries a telling Latin motto: "Scire ubi aliquid invenire possis ea demum maxima pars eruditionis est" – "To know where you can find something is, after all, the greatest part of learning."

In the modern era it is acknowledged that people will use online search engines to find the answers but hopefully we all learn something on the way


I know the answer to 1.5. And I know the story behind 1.6, but not the name of the town... That's it :)


How do you even know ANY of that??
