How good is YOUR general knowledge? 2020

How good is YOUR general knowledge? Quiz on topics including geography, history and literature will put you to the test
Tricky 10-question quiz was shared on US-based trivia website Playbuzz
The general knowledge quiz has questions on a variety of topics and subjects
Its creator claims the challenge is so difficult that no one will score full marks

Well in my case, that last sentence proved accurate as I could only manage 8/10.
I'm confident there will be many brainer entrants here who will get a better score!

8/10 for me too. Failed on Abraham Lincoln's birth state and the human bones one.

I can't get it to work properly — it keeps sticking. I'm not sure if it's our broadband running slow or if my computer just doesn't like the Daily Mail! :twisted: But thanks, now I know to look up Lincoln's birthplace before I try again... :wink: :wink:

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
