Ok, to be serious, I know that the H Y war was like 115 or close to that.
And George VI - that is a title. Kings didn't necesarily use their first names. And the Russian Calendar was different back then.

Very good.
I got this email with a messaage stating that 4 is needed to pass, I got 6.
For number three the answer given is sheep or horses but allowing for a right answer on that question you still only score 7/10 according to my answers.
6. Is there a Canary Island in Pacific? The Canary Islands in Atlantic are named after dogs (from the Latin 'canis'😉 cos they were at one time full of dogs.
10. I think Black Boxes are yellow/black bands like a bumblebee.

The Canaries answer is correct but I have a different colour for the black box.

i got 5, had never heard of 8 or 9 before. wasn't sure about 1, i knew it was over 100 years but didn't know the exact length. 4 had to be the easiest one though, everyone knows that, don't they?

I've seen a black box, it was yellow. I would also pursuade that my other answers are too correct, with most of them coming from my own knowledge rather than "trick question answers" lists

Such misplaced arrogance ...
Was the blackbox on a commercial airline?
You give more than one answer to the colour question, so think again matey!
I'm aware it's probably misplaced arrogance, but I cannot see how any of my answers could be wrong.
To the finch one:
you cannot really give one colour. I've seen a purple finch, possibly more than one, but only one I remember when I was in Canada.
It had a red tuft of fur on its head, pinkish chest with some white, and brown wings and tail.
And about the colour of the black box, I cannot remember what sort of black box it was, and looking around, they appear to be also available in red as well as yellow and orange. There are also a couple of examples of them that are black, so I could change my answer to black just to be snooty.
