Hi everyone! I'm an American from the Northeast (New England). I want to create a watering hole for people who want to discuss, learn and teach about history through TH-cam videos which you guys recommend to me through the comment section or over on Discord. Let's be respectful but, just as importantly, not be afraid to question any and everything about historical records in order to give us the most accurate representation of the history of our species and of our planet!
Having a diverse perspective is crucial to what I want to achieve here so please don't hold back! I want to learn about all I can! Keep recommending and PLEAESE join my Discord :) ( / discord )

A lot of these questions are phrased in such a way that it's more about language comprehension than actual knowledge.
True. For instance sodium is called natrium here in the Netherlands. But interesting non the way.
I'm a scientist, and I was really impressed by your general scientific knowledge. Great job remembering so much from school science.
Q40 Hydrogen is so prevalent because it's the main element in stars.
Q44. This is a very simplistic surface explanation to keep it short, but neutrons can be thought of as having the job of keeping positively charged protons apart to lessen their mutual repulsion. The H atom has only one proton, so a neutron is not necessary in the H-1 isotope, (although there are neutrons in H-2 and H-3 isotopes because they are created through various radioactive decay processes.)
Q48 Oxygen: often present as SiO2 - silicon dioxide - quartz, the major constituent of many rock types and of the sand formed from their weathering. Many metals, like Al2O3, also exist as oxides/ores.
Why do Americans prefer multiple choice quizzes so much. When my then 10 yr old began his six-year sojourn at a US school, this was entirely new to him. He hated it, as his (and his sister's) schools back home always set tests requiring full sentence answers, at least after Year 2.
This was a language test for me, more than a science test.
A comet is made of ice, wheras an asteroid is rock.
Also a lot of these questions are more about language rather than anything else
You was very very good at getting all the answers I was very surprised
I think we did pretty well there, Connor. My memory needed jogging a bit but, considering I'm threading my way out of C-PTSD at the moment, that was a high score. So the brain does actually function! Good! May be getting somewhere!
Light slows down entering water and that's precisely the reason for refraction
You're welcome! Don't be frustrated, you did very well 🎉🤗
I think question 19 is wrong, or at best misleading. Free fall normally means the condition of an object subject to no force except gravity. But terminal velocity is when the air resistance affecting a falling body increases to match the force of gravity, meaning the object stops accelerating (and hence achieves a steady speed). But if something is affected by air resistance then it can't really be in free fall. I guess he is just using "free fall" colloquially, to mean unsupported fall, without a parachute or whatever, but since it means something specific in physics he shouldn't have said it here, where it is not appropriate.
I managed 100 out of 100. Some very good questions were asked.
remember it's not a good quiz if you already know all the answers
Well, a good general knowledge quiz should include questions that people, on average, are able to answer through general schooling and life experience. It should test a variety of sections of knowledge and include some questions that require greater depth of knowledge but not necessarily specialist knowledge or that defeats the purpose of the quiz. I'd say a good quiz SHOULD be fully answerable if you have; a) a good education; and b) a good memory.
I got 74/100. Most of which I genuinely knew, with a few educated guesses. Not too bad for being 22 years out of high school. (My weak point is definitely physics. I need to brush up on my joules and newtons!)
For Pb : in French we say "plomb" for lead so yeah, a bit easier
And in English we have plumbers, who work with lead pipes (or used to).
Derived from Latin: "plumbum"
@@donaldb1 Yes true, and it's plombier in French
Meanwhile, 🇸🇪 call it... bly.
Maybe it's my age, but I was shattered after this.
Got most of them right, though, so I ain't lost all my marbles yet... 😁
A futur quizz about France ?
not too bad
I have to go my brother's coming in see you tonight
Hey bud, I don't know if you were getting bored or frustrated towards the end, or if it was a technical issue, but it was quite annoying to have skips in the quiz where the answer (correct or otherwise) was skipped. Some of us were looking to find out what our scores were. Thanks.
I got 6 wrong. Where does this place me in comparison to Einstein?😂
No no no, what you should ask, is, where does Einstein come up against you?!
(😏He didn't get everything right, afterall did he? ..,or did he?!🤔)
If you were puzzled that oxygen was the most common element in the Earth's crust you should realise that it will not be pure oxygen down there, but in compounds with other elements.
Many minerals are "oxides". Aluminiumoxde is one of the more common in the Earth's crust. (Al2O3)
It is also what makes up, when it's "pure" enough, both safires and rubies.
My complaint is because you got frustrated at the end, you scrolled too quickly and I wasnt able to read the questions in time let alone the choices. Thanks Connor. 😮😢😡 Bye.
Game face 😂. You take your tests seriously...
You need to slow down
Sorry but how do we know you haven't witched this before im calling you out cheating.
Because it's not that hard.
But what would be the point?
I think he'd have a few more of the easier ones toward the end right.
@CaptainBollocks.... Oh! I do hope you got better.
