The mamluks were indeed originally soldiers in the Ottoman Empire, but they did get powerful and they ended up ruling Egypt at the time Mansa Musa went through Cairo (as the Mamluk Sultanate)

The mamluks predated the ottomans by centuries. They were a class of non-arab free slave soldiers, forming a class similar to the knights in europe. They ruled egypt for about 300 years, until conquored by the ottomans.

I guess the Fahrenheit question was supposed to be a kind of commentary on the fact it's the only (that I know of) common conversion that isn't just a simple conversion factor. That's how I got it after being initially stumped, only realised after that the names in the question were Mr Celsius and Fahrenheit's first names too. The hitchhiking one if I had to guess is probably based on fairly limited data, but I just figured what transportation would be generally harder in more built up/populated areas and also sometimes wildly different. between countries - the Sweden Finland border stuck out to me, and hitchhiking came to mind.

7.1 magnitude in 2010 and a 6.2 magnitude in 2011. Barely 5 months apart. The latter had the casualties. Cheers from Christchurch

oh wow I also answered number of times paper can be folded, I thought I was cooking with that lol. Also the pop culture quiz definitely seemed to be the easiest of the week for me , even though I missed the obvious Skarsgard question. Funny how it was the hardest for you. Btw the "Whip the Hair" trivia came up in Thrice last week too!

14:18 once you isolate either x or y in the equation, the normal conversion formula comes out. but i agree that the wording was confusing.

I'd be interested in knowing what the actual way the got the hitchhiking map because theres a way I could see it being asking a question of "have you ever had trouble hitchiking here" which would mean green would be it either being very easy or extremely unnecessary

This is great! I’ll try and play the next one (even though I will get *zero* in pop culture and sports), hope that’s coming soon. These are the best sets of questions.
