We might do that normally, but other quizzes of this style (like for singers, scientists, and such) do not have a yellow box. In my opinion, it's better to stick to the template of other quizzes, and for now, I think that's what we'll do
It is not like all the answers are guessed correctly more than 90% of the time, far from it actually. So it would be more of a nuisance than necessity.
In 5th grade we had to do explorer reports, and I got assigned Bartolomeu Dias. I was annoyed, because he was the most "Who????" dude on the list, but the teacher assured me that one day it would be useful for me to know him.
I could not agree more. Have you ever heard some say "Jean Rousseau" or "Pierre Laplace" ? In France, people with hyphenated name are often called by shortened forms, of initials, but calling by the first part of their name is rare. You would hear a Jean-Philippe be called Jean-Phi or JP, but not Jean.
could you please accept also "Sebastian" for Cabot? He was John's son and an explorer as well.
Or, if you prefer to stick to an Italian explorer named John, you could just substitute Cabot with Verrazzano. Same first name, same nationality, only thing I don't quite get is why in english speaking countries Giovanni Caboto became John Cabot while Giovanni da Verrazzano never had his name changed.
Mrs. Palbicki, you were a goddam genius.
