I failed the question on how many issues were in the International Incident chain twice before I got it right.

Which, seeing as I wrote/edited the thing, made it even more annoying...

"During April Fools' 2018, Luna Amore was able to steal $1472.21 bank from which player?"

"Euroslavia posted their "Roleplaying Tips and Suggestions" in what year?"
I think that's a bit too specific for the Newcomer level which I was playing.

Plenty of difficult questions, of course, but one memorable one was, "What is the posting date on forum post #1?".

Thing is, forum post #1 is not visible to the public.
