However, there is ongoing debate among historians about whether or not King Arthur was a real historical figure.


Question 2: Why is Superman unable to see through lead?

Why so many American questions?

80%. Five questions were US based and one US related. The US comprises not even 5% of the planet's population. There's another 190 odd countries in the world - try looking at them!
Picky, picky, picky. 🤣
Does it really matter that much?
Perhaps the SDC members who are dissatisfied with the questions could ask the coordinators if they could contribute to the quiz. 🤔
 
American questions or other world countries, chemistry or politics....oh 4 HEAVENS SAKE.
It makes no difference to my score. 🤣😉
