I think this is the first quiz that I've seen Northern Ireland come up in a Jetpunk quiz. I'm surprised 89% of people knew the answer.

I've seen it several times - I remember a discussion over whether the city was named Derry or Londonderry, and I remember a question about "The Troubles".

Magellan must have been terribly surprised to find out that the strait he had just discovered was somehow already named after him ;)

Nothing wrong with the quiz, but it seems weird to me that the questions with years of 1950 and 1966 are out of chronological order.

A country ENTERS an alliance with another, it does not SIGN an alliance. It might sign a PACT however to secure said alliance. Just sayin'.

Technically, the first fleet of convicts did not reach Australia until 19th January, 1788. The naval support ship, Supply, did reach Botany Bay on the 18th, but there were no convicts aboard.
