Way to learn a piece of literature in just 10 questions. Thanks!

Someone once claimed that the answer to Q10 pretty much sums up everything by Shakespeare; "Everybody dies"
While I can't vouch for the validity of the claim (I don't know my Shakespeare 100%), it sure does seem to be a trend...
Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, "The play that shall not be named" ;p , Othello.....

Yeah I was convinced that with a hint that blunt the question would require some knowledge about Verona.

I am proud to announce that I've finally become an expert in Veronese affairs. Ask me anything!

Yeah I was convinced that with a hint that blunt the question would require some knowledge about Verona.

My worthless notes:

...is a city on the Adige River in Veneto, Italy, with 258,108 inhabitants.
It is one of the seven provincial capitals of the region.
It is the second largest city municipality in the region and the third largest in northeast Italy.
Two of William Shakespeare's plays are set in Verona: Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
It is unknown if Shakespeare ever visited Verona or Italy, but his plays have lured many visitors to Verona and surrounding cities.
The city has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its urban structure and architecture.

Not as much of a red herring as SDG/3DG, but still a little bit red. A pink herring?
At least this time it wasn't due to our perception and interpretation of the displayed hint. ^^

Question #2 made me paranoid whether it was a trick question, since while Juliet is a Capulet she's secretly married to Romeo throughout most of the play, so I was half expecting the quiz to go "Psych! Her surname's technically Montague"

Valid point, though I don't think the quizmaster would pull such a trick on us. ;p

..but now that you made the quizmaster think about it...

..and us think about the quizmaster thinking about it...

..we're doomed.

I wouldn't worry about it. Chances are he'll make a completely misleading quiz with triple and quadruple negatives, with questions such as "Aren't you not sure you don't want no points? - yes/no", before he tries to trick us.

Unless.... There is someone who might be our savior.

What is this, is it the day of the false quizmaster already? Stop handing out these hints ideas!

I wouldn't worry about it. I swapped his pen for one with invisible ink. ^^

I had it coming, totally missed the point of one of the rather obvious hints. I do, however, feel a bit good about not being the sole leader anymore, since I didn't feel like I deserved it (being the leader, not losing the lead, haha).

 

[Alex]

I answered correctly and the site did not register it on the second and last question, but thankfully still got the points

 

[ASAC_Nobody]

I really liked the past two quizzes. Would love to see more like them.

 

[AquaKettleCompare]

I swear, I wasn't going to answer celery.

But I did anyway

0 answers for question 1 - visual glitch?

 

[valike13]

This was NICE quiz (with visual bug on 1.)

Google Translate manages to be even more useless than I thought it was.

I knew it was bad for longer stuff, but I didn't expect it to betray me on single words.

6 people seem to think the phrase is "Domus Ex Machina"....

Next time go for Wiktionary.

[DarkPoisonousGrotesque]

so 6th hint was wrong cause spiro - >blow, breathe, breathe out, exhale, live (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/spiro)
aspiro -> aspire (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aspiro#Latin)

so yeah good job on that one
