“This Looks Easy, Until You Try It”: These 25 Questions Will Test Your Knowledge Through The Decades
Who doesn’t love a guessing challenge? 🤔🙀
And this one is (relatively) simple – if you have a good knowledge of history.
So here’s the drill: we give you an event, and you have to guess the decade. You may know the events, but correctly knowing the specific decade in which they happened is a different challenge. All you need to do is write “1910s”, “1920s”, “2010s”, and so on. Seems pretty easy, right? Are you sure you are up to it?
Aim for a place on the Leaderboard by scoring the highest you can! Let’s see if you can pinpoint the decade of these 25 events. 🥳🚀

Q17. "Google revolutionized the way we search for information online in which decade?" They started in the 1990s but they were just another search engine at first. They didn't "revolutionise" search at least until the 2000s.
Those of us with tech friends found out about it a lot earlier than the general public did.

Weepfest. Yep that sums up the rather ridiculous outpouring of emotions. She died three days after my Grandad and I watched a nation grieve for someone they never met and folk assumed my upset was related to her. I hold her in less than high regard, she played the media game and the media swallowed it hook, line and sinker, much like the British public did.
Load More Replies...No, but having an idea when probably the world's most well-known fast food business began operating might well be considered general knowledge.
Load More Replies...I've lived through so many decades I can't place most of these, doing the old person thing of "That was only about 30 years ago?" and realising in was more like 50 years ago. Sighs in old lady.
So you're another one who didn't read the intro and are blaming the quiz for your poor performance. Which answers do you think BP has wrong?
Load More Replies...I was a bit unsure of the ones from 2000 onwards but no problem with the ones before 2000, or as BP calls it, "ancient history"
I think being over 50 really helped. A couple were good guesses, but the rest pretty obvious.
They don't want a specific year, just the decade. You just need to answer with 1950s or 1920s or whichever decade is correct.
