One blind guess.
One second guessing myself.
One (hopefully) educated guess.

sorry Gamer, I'm only doing the answer on the card.

cursed by your own...

I was going to say hubris because that how the saying goes and it's Greek like the question, but then I decided to look it up and realised that it doesn't fit.

cursed by your own superior knowledge?

As many have already pointed out, yes the questions are America-centric. I personally knew the Paul Revere one because of Futurama, but think I would have got the Franklin one wrong. I knew he had the kite in the thunderstorm, but I didn't realise that's specifically what he did with that.

Can we also take a moment to lol 54.8% of people surveyed that didn't know "Javelin"

Because it's the weekend you've got 48 hours rather than 24 hours to answer.

This was a very US-centric set. I wouldn't blame non-natives for missing a bunch of those

I choose a good time to rewatch futurama lol

Didn't have a clue for the Franklin question but knew about the kite in the thunderstorm so just went with that

Educated guesses galore

Lol me. Was too busy remembering what the real name of the Antarctic Ocean was to think about where the ocean actually was.
