45 / 50 (Doffs cap to Scriven)

I got wrong the ones on: (MILD SPOILER ALERT)
The name of the trans-Plutonic object
The value of e
The cell division one (never into biology)
Who h was named after
The cloud one.


Of those I got right, there were two where I did an instinctive choice between three options, and six where I chose from two options. A bit of luck, a bit of mmmmyeahIthinkso...

Latin and Greek helped a bit, and I liked the way almost every question offered a few different ways to the answer, such as which element, atomic number XX, named after the Greek YYY, is commonly used in ZZZZ. Theoretical, literary or practical knowledge can get you there.

Loved the first option for the age of the earth.
