Glad you didn’t stop at the 1770s (though you did claim that was the furthest back you could go).

I'm waiting for the 1170s quiz. I don't know if anything happened then, but I'm hoping to find out.

let's see: henry II was king and possibly ordered Thomas Becket's death, Saladin declared Egyptian independence, Belfast was founded, Venetians took over Verona, Frederick I (Barbarossa) failed to overthrow Pope Alexander III, it was mid-Song dynasty in China, Genghis Khan married Borte then rescued her when she was kidnapped, Muizzudin launched a first attack on India and Eleanor of Aquitaine was put in prison.

Ugh...my guess for the second question was 93 years off. Or 310 years off, depending on how you look at it. ;)

Wow, the random nerdy memory of a Venus-related event in 2012 fell out of my brain and happened to be right.

As this is an English-language quiz, I don't see where the "MUST" comes from. If you don't know the English name for Ekaterina, the failing is with you, not the quizmaster. If the quizmaster wants to accept alternative answers, the prerogative lies entirely with him.

The St. Louis question is moderately America-centric but the rest were fairly well balanced I thought.

3 American questions and it’s still “American-focused”. Never change, JetPunk. Never change.

Why would Europeans know about the Qing Dynasty? Or Shiraz? But you don't go whinging about those!

No, it shouldn't, because it's only asking for the word "Dixon."
