21/24

I should be ashamed for not knowing all the kings of Gondor

Some are really challenging, my score was lower...

19/24, one of the accents threw me off. Also some of these are just wrong - sildenafil (Viagra), amantadine and at least one more are not antidepressants at all, and a few of the remaining ones are truly super obscure. "Introduced in Russia in the late 60s", "Indian antidepressant from 1982", "Formerly marketed in Spain and Marocco" etc

For the purposes of the quiz just being a drug of some sort is probably close enough to add a few more rounds. One might also argue that Viagra makes a peen harder to depress? Anyway if they didn't put in fake Tolkien names or names from other authors I figure it's fine.

22 of 24. Yeah, I know too much antidepressants...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same score as me, but my first thought was that I know too much about LOTR

Though I only guessed on a couple

Perhaps I also know too many antidepressants

I would have done way better if they only used the chemical name. Instead it seemed like mostle a mix of non-proprietary names and trade names.

Agreed! Got the same score as you btw 🤜🤛

9/24, how is this possible lmao

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

19/24 I see an É and I assume Tolkein. Oh well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Me too... I was so sure about "Clélial" and instead...

17/24, the extended marathon is overdue, that's probably why

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

While an extended version marathon is always due, it won't improve your score here. Lord of the Rings (books and movies) don't cover most of the characters.

Absolutely, was just talking about not being in the loop, but the books are on queue too ^^ (not only lord of the rings)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I've read the books and watched the movies, but still only got 12/24, or exactly the same as I'd expect to get by picking answers at random.

20/24 - with some luck

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

18/24, nice one

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

18/24 and I've never even finished reading LotR or gotten around to getting an antidepressant prescription. I did borrow the Simarillion from the library for months though, opened it a couple times but never got around to reading it. I just know a little bit about Tolkien's linguistics and the way drug brand names work, but I got scared once I got one wrong.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Literally half or more of the drugs aren't antidepressants...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

19/24 that was fun
