Who? I have no idea who these people are!
(As an aside on the rhyming one, 400 years ago one of the incorrect pairs would have rhymed too but pronunciation has changed).
But the one I got wrong, the answer said "This one should have been to easy!". Um, sure, if you're an American, and a sports fan, and old enough.
So I said something to funtrivia about this, because I've noticed a few instances of questions or answers saying "this should be easy" or similar. I don't think anybody writing quizzes should assume that everyone comes from the same place and time and background as themselves (unless, you know, they're writing a quiz just for their mates or something).
As a result I've learned:
1. Private tournaments like ours are using an older, smaller database of questions.
2. They basically keep private tournaments up and running but otherwise give them almost no support.
3. They strongly discourage that kind of "this should be easy" comment in questions that users submit nowadays.
So there you go. We are all using an old inferior product.
If it's any consolation, I've no idea where I dragged the right answer to that one from - I don't recall it from previous quizzes, but that's not to say it wasn't there ...

I’ve probably forgotten it and will get it wrong again, if it reappears 😂

It looks like I have a new bible question to "just remember the answer" for.
Yes, indeed, Piglet.
