Groups of Six Quiz #3

Yeap, definitely needs more time. I hadn't a clue on the romantic poets, no interest in poetry, and even still I was struggling to go over answers I'd missed

People do not know their Romantic poets?? I'm shocked! And disappointed. :( Then again, maybe I'm just biased. Actually, no....people really should know them. If they come from an English-speaking country, of course. Wordsworth?? Come on!

I've heard the name and know he is a poet. No, I didn't remember he was a romantic poet. And no, English is not my first language.

As a French speaker, I have only heard of Blake, Shelley and Byron. Maybe a bit Yeats.

And there's your problem: Keats ≠ Yeats. They're not even pronounced the same (another trap the English have laid to catch the unwary).

Well Economics isn't really a Nobel...

ya, it's not one of the actual Nobel prizes, but since it's commonly referred to as the "Nobel Prize in Economics" I don't think it's a big stretch to put it on the quiz

They're all granted by different organizations

What about Jane? Why is she never included as a monarch?

I know, right?! Tarzan not like!!!

I thought of her too, and Matilda. Almost completely forgot Victoria though... Oops.

Certainly surprised Matilda wasn't there, and I tried Jane too. Jane is generally excluded because she didn't even want to be queen.

Jane was only de facto queen for nine days - and she was never crowned, though she was officially proclaimed as queen which just adds to the confusion.

I've now been to every Black Sea country. That and US time zones were the easiest categories for me.

Why single out Cornwall?

Yes, it was. Why are you not saying the same for Brittany and Isle of Man? Or any of them for that matter.

Maybe you should change the category to "American/US space shuttles" - Soviet Union has also had a space shuttle program and "Buran" (model 1.01) has completed a successful space mission.

The whole of Britain was a Celtic Nation including England. Made up of many different tribes. Those nations given in this quiz are only the last remaining groups of Celtic Tribes in Britain and Northern France. To name just a few of the large tribes in England: The Brigantes (Northern England), Ancalites (Wiltshire/Hampshire), Bibroci (Berkshire), Parisii (Yorkshire), Cantiaci (Kent named after them), Carveti, (Cumberland), and many, many others. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/11483608/The-secret-history-of-Britain-is-written-in-our-genes.html

It is based on where a Celtic language is still spoken today, eg. Wales - Welsh, Isle of Man - Manx, Brittany - Breton etc.

I heard Manx went extinct in 1970s or something.
