| @M_C_HAMEL: First, I think a good mix of obscure and easy does make a quiz like this enjoyable. Just a typing challenge for easy ones ain't the same level of fun, neither would some all-obscure quiz be good, which can only be solved by a history professor with all his reference works handy and a week of time. So some obscurity ain's bad as such. Second: The "Gordian Knot" is really something one could, maybe even should have heard about IMO. Quite a famous episode. Same goes for the major Chinese dynasties. I don't mean that you should necessarily have them at the ready at all times, but a little "oh, ah, yeah" after seeing the solution in these cases should be okay. I second the comments about O for Oliver, though (consistence), as well as about Kiev (though St.Petersburg 1940 Russian Empire is a mixup above), and apart from what I said earlier, maybe two Chinese dynasties is stretching it. |
