16 on this and 14 on the other two. Disappointed as I knew the rubicon one and I knew the two cities as soon as I saw the answer. Didn’t have a scooby about the conquistador.

Oh and questions like - who was the most famous person to die, or what is FF Coppola’s most famous movie are a bit silly.

15. Disappointed by 2 of the answers I didn't get but don't care about the other three and am glad that they aren't taking up space in my age declining brain.

agreed. i like quizzes with absolute answers.

'most famous' and such questions are subjective.

i have a quick read through the questions before i start the quiz so the easy ones are pretty much automatic. a good tip to save time but i touch type so i usually have a couple of minutes to spare anyway.

I really think that spelling shouldn't count. If we were doing a verbal quiz, e.g. The Chase, we wouldn't be asked to spell our answers.
