I don't see a problem with that either. This time they asked a year related to a historic name. In this game they asked for a historic name related to a century. In this game the category was space exploration, but instead it was a geography question. The categories don't always indicate directly what they're looking for, that's why you need to rtfq, and the question wasn't ambiguous in the least.Category 13 wrote:Har, har, har.seaborgium wrote:I do accept that.
