General Knowledge Quiz #6

Post by tiger76 » Thu Jul 01, 2021 9:15 pm

I got 14/20 on this batch, so you should find it slightly easier than yesterday's offering. :) https://www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/general ... ge-quiz-6

17. I spent a long time trying to remember the third largest city in South Africa. I knew I'd spent three weeks there but couldn't remember the name for the life of me.

12. Annoyed with the Urdu one as I was a vowel out. Don't know why it wouldn't accept my answer for Henry's wife. I typed it correctly :?

I've played the game on the list for decades and have a 6 handicap which is sort of OK, but have never heard of that object being called a wicket. I suppose that is what some Americans call it.....

Yes, americans call it a wicket while we call it a hoop. The other quizzes have been internationally neutral, more or less, but number 6 did have a US tinge to it.

At risk of asking the obvious, did you press the start button? That caught me out for a while.
