Asking a non-Rugby fan about the All Blacks ... Nate Send a noteboard - 09/07/2011 12:15:24 AM
... is like asking Europeans about the Yankees, to use your analogy. Chances are, a lot of people will at least know they come from New York. But just because everyone doesn't know something doesn't disqualify it from being general knowledge. If every question was something every single person knows, it wouldn't be much of a quiz.

I didn't know the Russian actor, by the way. I don't know much about old movies.

He misspelled everything, hence the entire conversation. *NM* nossy - 08/07/2011 03:19:11 PM 357 Views
I missed Question 4. I think that's hardly general knowledge. Tom - 08/07/2011 03:13:22 PM 696 Views

I don't know about Italy, but it's interesting in France... Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:07:16 PM 678 Views

Bad analogy. Tom - 09/07/2011 03:21:23 AM 827 Views
Actually, it's a pretty good analogy... Legolas - 09/07/2011 09:44:50 AM 686 Views
So you're saying NZ culture is as relentlessly projected as American? Tom - 09/07/2011 03:00:33 PM 817 Views
Obviously not, but then American culture is projected in so many ways. Legolas - 09/07/2011 04:37:27 PM 792 Views

All of them. Although Motown was a guess and I tossed a coin for souvlaki. *NM* Rebekah - 08/07/2011 05:54:30 PM 337 Views
10, although I didn't actually expect my guess for #2 to be correct... *NM* Legolas - 08/07/2011 07:52:27 PM 288 Views
