  1. Predictably, I started with nearly 100% in the first round and declined as the questions grew more difficult.

    However, I must object to the question about the [spoiler]Moons of Jupiter[/spoiler].. While the answer itself is correct, the comment afterwards is misleading.

    Unless my math is right off, only [spoiler]29 of those moons are females lovers, which the eyebrow-arched reading of “quality time” seems to imply. One more (Ganymede) is a probable male lover– quality time, but not, by conventional designation, a she. Several others are foster-mothers and daughters of Zeus/Jupiter. Even if we take these as a version of “quality time” (even Zeus had his limits!), that results in a different number than the one you give.[/spoiler]

    It’s a trivia game. I get to nitpick.
