The names of the characters are the same in Clue (the US version) and Cluedo (the version everywhere else). (I wonder why the name difference - copyright wrangles perhaps?). The only difference between the versions is the victim's name, which doesn't matter a whole lot since they, being dead, don't get to do anything.

Also, Mr Green in Clue is Reverend Green in Cluedo. Apparently the makers thought Americans wouldn't be happy about a parson being a murder suspect.

Cluedo was invented in the UK and was originally called that as a play on the popular game Ludo. I think it was renamed Clue for the American market as the name "Ludo" is very much a British thing, so the pun didn't make any sense elsewhere.

My favorite is Anne of Cleves: Henry thought she was ugly, so he never consummated the marriage with her. At the same time, he really liked her (even being called Henry's "Beloved Sister" at one point), and so she escaped the unfortunate fates that befell some of his other wives.

Two-letter abbreviations aren't usually accepted on Jetpunk. They would give too many freebies, since a lot of words could start with, for example, SA or WA.

We could have done about the Italian Renaissance, the Huguenot wars, the Protestant Reformation, even the English Reformation - but no, it was imperative to know Henry VIII's wives by heart. I always thought that part of the history curriculum was a bit pointless.

Whilst we are on 16th century spelling...it was pretty variable. For example Anne's surname was sometimes spelt "Bullen", or so I read somewhere.

I got tripped up on the order of some categories. It seems the answers are in alphabetical order - except when they aren't! (Of course, I wouldn't expect the wives to be in anything but chronological order.)

Why is it that we now refer to Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata instead of Bombay, Madras and Calcutta, yet we still refer to Bangalore rather than Bengaluru?
JWatson24

Level 71
Jul 8, 2021
Not sure, but if I can hazard a guess, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai were larger (Bangalore only surpassed Chennai in population pretty recently) and more significant historically, so when their names changed, more people caught on. Also, going from Bombay to Mumbai, or Madras to Chennai, or even Calcutta to Kolkata, is a much more significant difference than going from Bangalore to Bengaluru. Those are just guesses though.
blizzrd33

Found this answer on the internet: Bangalore officially changed to Bengaluru in 2017. Bombay became Mumbai in 1995 after a 40-year struggle; Madras changed to Chennai in 1996; Calcutta to Kolkata in 2001; Trivandrum to Thiruvananthapuram in 1991; Pondicherry to Puducherry in 2006; Poona to Pune in 2008; and Orissa to Odisha in 2011. It appears only that Bengaluru was more recent and hasn't been adopted as widely yet? Perhaps Jetpunk could/should update it's approach to this place name? It appears not to be different to the case of Nur-Sultan.

Why are California, Nevada, and Arizona not considered? Just because of the sake that we want only SIX? If so, why are only those six included, and why not anyone from the above three?

Btw a good quiz tho, it's good to see you being updated and adding HYDERABAD to the list of Indian megacities. :-)
