The question about the river named for the explorer Hudson calls him Dutch in the question but English in the answer’s explanation. Somebody goofed.
Henry Hudson was English and undertook 3 voyages under English auspices. However he also did one voyage for the Dutch and this is the one referred to in the quiz.
I see.

17/18. This was a good quiz for me, asked me about stuff I know. Had to think very hard about Plato/Socrates but luckily came up with the right one. Didn’t think hard enough about Napolean/Louis, I knew that once upon a time.
Dang – only 16/18
