Hardly ever. Unless I am watching a movie that takes place at that time or if someone asks a question about it. But literally never other than those times.

Equestrian should be accepted for the Roman question - they were also members of the nobility.

Was the term “equestrian” really used to refer to an individual member of the equestrian order, though? Or is it just an adjective describing the order to which equites belonged?

The definition you gave for Christian would also describe a Trinitarian.

Or an Episcopalian, or Presbyterian, for example. These are instantiations of the larger category, which is the best fit for the clue.

What I meant was... The definition is a BETTER fit for trinitarian. Both should be accepted.

Well, from a purely logical perspective, trinitarians are people who believe in the triune god (father, son and holy spirit). Thus it's a more specific term that percludes belief in the divinity of Jesus but is not exclusive to it. All trinitarians believe in Jesus as God but not all believers in Jesus as God are trinitarians. There may be some sects that reject the divinity of the Holy Spirit, for example, although I believe none do so in modern times. No modern Christian sect reject the divinity of Jesus either, so I think the clue is fine as it is.

TomatosRaafatos: I think you're incorrect here. The largest sects, and therefore the vast majority of practicing christians around the world, are certainly members of churches that are trinitarian / nicene / chalcedonian... however, much like Roman era arians, present day unitarians generally believe that Jesus existed, and that he was a prophet or a savior, but not that he was truly divine, in the way that mainline catholic, orthodox, or protestant sects do. Something similar is true for certain groups of pentecostals and mormons, and probably a few other small groups I'm missing. And then, of course, most muslims also believe that Jesus was a prophet, but not actually divine.

Indeed, some early Christians rejected the divinity of Jesus (such as in the Arianism)

just love nitpicking :)

would a statistician also be someone who works with numbers?

Not so obvious this one. Made me wonder what the answer would be for "someone who works with letters".

I work with statisticians, and several of them told me that they're actually "bad with numbers". Similar to general mathematics, actually, analytical statistics is more about logic, which test to apply when etc. than about actual numbers.

I'm studying mathematical logic and set theory. In these fields you first have to define numbers before you can use them and you can actually do quite a lot of mathematics without even defining them. I did a minor in statistics, loads more numbers there. You even have to calculate something every now and then.

The "politician" one is slightly misleading. You can have a whole career in politics without ever being elected or standing for election. Maybe worth rephrasing - though I wouldn't know how.

Agree. Pretty much anyone in a public position holding political power or trying to achieve that kind of a position can be called "politician", even a dictator who has reached his/her position (or is trying to reach it) thru a coup/revolution.

Please change the "not in the military" hint. People not in the police department and fire departments are also considered civilians; the military is not the only one.

I feel like the quiz should change the libertarian question or the answer because it can include republican (this suggestion is not politically motivated).

Yes, I also believe that this is the only word ending in -IAN you have forgotten to include in this exhaustive list of all words ending in -IAN.
