11/15 - should guarantee disaster tomorrow with the other one

I don't know if there is any usual or agreed chronology in the posting of these, because of course, once one is done, if any similar questions appear in the other... Well.

7, including at least two utterly wild "I have no idea" guesses. And only a couple of "damn! I actually knew that, how did I get it wrong?"

I got 7. Lord knows how, as I accidentally clicked the wrong option for one of the two that I actually did know. Some powerful guessing going on obviously.

@classic33 have you thought about making a scoreboard for this thread too?

It'll be much smaller, granted, but, still!

13 for me, some lucky gueses, some had been in headlines and some I knew anyway.

 

[richardfm]

8 for me, a few guesses and I like to think a few more that I knew

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

That Henry 8th one was quite unfair to anyone who did not do English history at School. We aren't all hanging on everything the fat, blood thirsty twat did!😆

Lets have questions about Scottish history and see how you all feel! 🙄😀
