Found a stupid little titanic quiz

How Much Do You Know About the Real-Life Titanic?

The sinking of the Titanic on its maiden voyage was one of the worst maritime disasters in history, but no one could see it coming. In fact, it was the last thing they expected. In this quiz, we'll explore the truth.

Nice!
The breakup question got on my nerves. Everyone (except the woman who made the quiz) knows the "Drain the Titanic" Sinking theory is false

The answers to the questions are partly wrong. No wonder you can not reach 100%. Try for myself got 92%. Guess the person making that little quiz should have done more research.

Agree. If not wrong they certainly are debatable. The newspaper question for example. I got that one wrong according to the quiz. I never considered posting a sheet of paper on a bulletin board a ships newspaper. But I guess to some that qualifies as a newspaper.

Good Job!
Agreed, poorly researched, affects the viability of the quiz

The Ocean Times would fit better but that was printed in the 1930 aboard White Star Ships

I also had the newspaper question wrong and as I often do I answer a hair too fast at times. That's on me. I could have done two questions better had I been more careful. Give me those questions and more in a few years and I'd ace it. So, how many eggs were brought aboard the Titanic before it set sail? I asked this a few years ago at a party and only one person's answer was even close.

I messed up on the breakup question and the :Which had more, Beer, cigars, etc" question.
I rush through things too lol!

The break up question is wrong, the "biggest" ship is also not right. In May the Imperator from HAPAG was launched which was bigger than Titanic.
The number of survivors was also wrong given (706 according to the quiz, actually it were 712.)

Ohhh, good eye, Ioannis!
I thought the Imperator was launched after Titanic?

Yes on May 23, 1912 and with that Titanic was no longer the biggest one. They maybe should have phrase the question different.
