I was getting them all correct until they started on the lives of US celebs, at which point I closed the window.

I would too.
Like a lot of the quiz shows. All about what celebs do? ooh um nah.
Got a few sport ones wrong, some geography, and a couple I accidentally pressed the wrong button.

Thought about it twice and decided that I don’t really want SKY tracking me. Fuck em.
95
The ones I got wrong were about same sex marriage, rabbits, boxing, clouds, and International Women’s Day

Does SKY think these are the things we all SHOULD KNOW?

I am not aware of any tracking.

Well done. Some of them are pretty obscure or just too trivial.

Haven’t actually checked but everyone else does.
80, I was going really well and started to get cocky and sped up and made some blunders.
None wrong so far.

Yeah, you can look at it that way if you choose to.

Bugger, I wish I’d thought of that.

Hmm, one of those I found out only recently from the forum, the difference between Great Britain and the UK. Thanks for that, forumites.
Jacinda Arden. LOL, coincidence?
78/100
Obviously I’m getting better at general knowledge with age. I’d hate to think how miss m would go. One of those questions I’m really kicking myself on, though.

I haven’t started it yet but is starting to sound as if some questions are worth knowing the answer to. Though I’m still sure many aren’t.
there weren’t nearly enough crime questions in there…
I got 90 but really 88…
but the results are meaningless because you could leave the window and google

Bugger I didn’t realise that, I could have been a champion.
Bugger.
78.
I got a couple of couple of dates.years wrong where I knew the event but not the date, like Rosa parks on the bus. Also clicked on 2 and got the wrong answer just as I realised I misread the question. Let down badly on celebrity stuff, entertainment and surprisingly for me: sport.

They’re small.
That’s one I should have got, because I’d vaguely heard about it somewhere.
