I like it. It would be nice to know why the other answers are wrong, if you get a question wrong. Maybe something like a short explanation under the wrong answers in a small font? I got the Hundred Years' War wrong, saying 1320. I had the right thought that it was England-France (judging from Wikipedia), but apparently there was a different conflict in 1320, and it would be nice to know which one, so that I can learn from the mistake.

Nice job. I noticed you had a question related to the Hundred Years’ War. One of my favorite gotchas is to ask someone, “How long did the Hundred Years’ War last?”

Citations needed. I refuse to believe Pärt gets more airplay than Glass.

Trick question: World's oldest university in continuous operation is different from the 'oldest'. Otherwise, the university of flint tools is the oldest.

It's nice, looks clean, and good questions. Wouldn't have minded having five rather than three!

3/3 quite a nice clean design. Was hoping for archives, but then noticed this post was from today.

Fun, I was only confident in one answer but got lucky with a 3/3.

Very nice! I got lucky guessing the hundred years war question, 3/3 on my first go.
