or maybe the first one took the name but met with a nasty, totally-unplanned-by-#2 horrific accident so that the title was once more available to the victor, the one, the only coolest dude.
The Olympic games are a world wide event, and the confrontation with Ukraine is an international conflict. If this test is skewed towards any nation, it's the USA.
I don't think it really has a bias this time. These US events are a pretty big deal, I mean the US opening up to Cuba for the first time in nearly 50 years? The Ferguson riots caught a lot of attention too.
Agree with QM. There was a terribly myopic article in Wired today about how horrible 2014 was, but half of it was dystopian movies. Let's not let the admittedly bad things overshadow so much positive.
Nice quiz! The only thing I might add is the recent 4chan targeting of fandom blogs on Tumblr. Perhaps something about "9+10=21" or "crave that mineral" as well.
I also have no idea what these things are. Are these things that are supposed to be well known or just silly internet memes that will be forgotten in a month?
QM are you having a go at anybody in particular....? ;) I never do well in these quizzes (a history buff, I never have any idea about the history I've recently lived through myself), but this time got 100%. And I could also have had a go at some question to which the answer was "Kim Kardashian's butt". Oh, well.
I hate myself even as I type this. Rosetta didn't land on the comet. Rosetta is still orbiting the comet. Philae landed on the comet - it was dropped from Rosetta.
Pretty good quiz, I just realized how important this year was to the international history. But... the war in Donets Basin (Ukraine) not directly mentioned and some films are? This is a ticking time bomb in our part of Europe.
Much more about Russia now in 2017. You can blame anything on them. Fail a test? Russia's fault. Lose an election? Russia's fault. Stub your toe? Russia's fault
Fun fact, Interstellar came out before the first picture of a black hole was developed, so they had to guess with actual astronomers as to what is looked like, and they weren't to far off
don't care about taylor swift
Just one???
Taking this quiz in 2020 and everybody has forgotten about everything here.
Is always repeating itself
