I just picked Jonathan Edwards because I liked that song he did.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

I got 14 of 15 and totally guessed the last one too. It was the Jewish Sabbath one I got wrong.
I'm guessing the last one is some American thing?

This was posted before - I think I got the same question wrong that time as well. Jonathan Edwards is a triple jumper as far as I know. :dunno:

14/15, and it was the question about "first great awakening" or whatever that sank my perfect score

I didn't take it the first time around. The page was dated today, so I thought it was a different quiz. :spock:

That's the only one I got wrong, and yeah, I only know him as the triple jump World record holder, though he did famously have a "Great Awakening" some (maybe 5?) years ago - he used to be a devout Christian (wouldn't even compete on Sundays), then became an atheist.

Not sure if they mean the same guy, though. :hehe:
