Romanian Aid C/D 5 March 2022

[Tuvok]

Stuck on 2 of the anniversary part of this quiz.

I have

B of S W S

and

A of T T

and I have 20 and 250 years left


I have a possibility for one of them - Anniversary of Twin Towers - 20 years

[Buenchico]

Birth of Sir Walter Scott, 1771

[Tuvok]

That never showed on the list of births that I found!

Do you agree with my other answer?

[Buenchico]

I'm not mad keen on that answer, as (from what I've seen) the other questions in the quiz refer to what happened in the year in question (which, given you've only got '20' left, would appear to be 2001), rather than to an anniversary occurring after a specific period of time. It doesn't seem to fit with the pattern to me. (I've not done the quiz though, or even seen it. I've only seen the questions that have been posted here).

I've not come up with anything better yet though! (I've tried 'Assassination of . . . ' and rule that out. 'Abolition of . . . ' hasn't yielded anything yet either for me).

[Tuvok]

Not sure of it myself as I would have expected "the" to be in the phrase.

Will keep looking.

[Buenchico]

Aha!

I don't like that either though, Chris!

Attack of ..... doesn't sound right, unless the ditloaid is A o TT and therefore Attack "on" looks OK.

[Buenchico]

^^^ Perhaps you need to visit SpecSavers, JJ109 ;-)

The answer suggested in my link is "Attack on . . . ".

[Mamyalynne]

OP says...

A of T T

[Tuvok]

Definitely OF not ON

I can't remember any errors on these quizzes.

I will go with my original thought if I can't think of anything else.

Romanian Aid? Isn't the EU helping?

[Mamyalynne]

The quiz isn't compulsory Dave.
