7 out of 8.
Good mark there
I like such so much because I am student of bio
Am grateful you liked it. Thanks
It turns out my Latin was rusty I had to get a tetanus shot
OMG! YOU learnt something here though
I learned my Latin has gotten even worse. I didn’t think that was possible…
6/8 – should have been 7!
Why did you expect 7 and not 8
Because I knew enough Latin to get one right that I got wrong, but not for the other one!
I got 5! I am totally blind about this! So challenging.
You performed quite fine there
Thank you, Sir!
5/8 Great quiz!
Not bad here
7/8 I missed Actus reus 🙂
You know these legal terms. Thank you
No. I guessed most of them 🙂 But I did learn Latin some 50 years ago!
You are good at guessing then
