        I know I would. Got 4 too, but there’s 2 more I had guessed and didn’t know the English term for. However one name was autocorrected to the American spelling, and was counted as correct, so, nice.

        And of course, one of them was about some kind of US sportsball thing.

          Yeah, the articles are pretty much US focused. Still fun though.

            Were they?

            I got:

            • 3 American
            • 2 Russian
            • 1 Australian
            • 1 Greek
            • 1 Italian
            • 1 Israeli

              I wouldn’t say >!Anvil!< is European or >!Squaring the circle!< is Greek, just because it was first described in ancient Greece. You wouldn’t call “city” an Iraqi concept just because the first city was in the same region as modern day Iraq.

              The two American books on the other hand are not very well know around the world. I’m not even sure if they have ever been released here in Germany for example. Unlike the Dostojewski book, that got international recognition and has been translated at least 12 times into German. That didn’t help me to guess it, though. I’m just not very well read.

                Sure, those first two aren’t well tied to any place. But they’re definitely not America-centric.

                  Everything that was not American had worldwide recognition, but there was a question on a random US football team’s facility.

              I went back in time a little. Below your score, you can go back day by day and do the last few tests.

        Why yes it was. I believe it’s the same for everyone, to compare how many got it right.
