Slate Trivia Quiz

[Recusant]

I've been doing it for a few weeks now. Varied topics-- culture, history, science, vocabulary, and news. Usually culture stumps me.

I scored 82 in today's Slate Quiz. Think you can beat me? - https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/11/trivia-quiz-daily-slate-culture-comedy-pop-music-ballet.html

The Asmos like quizzes, but do you have to sign up to participate?

[Recusant]

No sign-up needed.

[Asmodean]

Excellent! I shall have a play around when on PC

[Bluenose]

138, but to be fair, a couple of my answers were little more than guesses

[Recusant]

I'm ashamed that I answered first question incorrectly. Though I've been a life-long fan, my scholarship is lacking. 

[Asmodean]

I got 133 with one lucky guess (That gives me a lucky-guess ratio of what, 25%? A lucky-guess-proof multiple choice... Cool! ) about the ballerinas, which I know pretty much nill about, and I think three correct answers in total.

I claim a "not too bad for broad and esoteric." Cool concept. That was short, but challenging. I shall revisit.

History today-- https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/11/trivia-quiz-daily-slate-history-scandal-coups-elections.html

Recent and largely US-centric. Luckily for me I have lately been learning a bit about far left militant idiots in Europe, which helped with one of the questions.
216: 5 out of 6

[Asmodean]

162. I'm not very good at "guess the politician"

[Recusant]

50% scored 131, not a great result in this week's science: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/11/trivia-quiz-daily-slate-science-anatomy-chemicals-plants.html

[Asmodean]

130 here. And it started so very well.

The Asmo is vacuuming the local book stores for all the non-fiction they have this afternoon, see if He is not! Unacceptable!

[Recusant]

Just over 50% on news for 293. Missed at least one I should have got.  https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/12/slate-news-quiz-tunnel-rescue-henry-kissinger-white-house-christmas-decorations.html

[Recusant]

Usually my strongest topic, vocabulary. 100% for 268 -- https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/12/trivia-quiz-daily-slate-vocabulary-adjectives-australia-authors.html

[Recusant]

Not great on history today. 50% for 132. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/12/trivia-quiz-daily-slate-history-war-colonies-elections.html

[Recusant]

Science today; seemed less challenging than sometimes. 100% for 260. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/12/trivia-quiz-daily-slate-science-biology-optics-geology.html
