8 / 13 Same score as last time - 61.5%! Should have done better!

Some distinctly incorrect answers in there but at least we got answers so for that I am grateful

You got 61.5% right! Almost! You were so close! Surprised I did so poorly!

11/13 again - which is frustrating and the slavery abolition date is still not amended.
Pat Anne Hughes Everett
11/13 today - must improve this score and stay there. Slavery abolished in 1838 not 1834 still not sored out - please do so, thanks.

10/13 - gone down a little, unfortunately. Some answers are definitely questionable - please check them all out, thanks.

11/13 tonight, so am getting better and still need you to verify slavery abolished date as 1834 not 1838, please.

10/13 today, so am getting better, at last.

Such a poor score today. Slavery abolished in 1834, so I believed, in The UK.
Peter Paplawsky
Slavery outlawed in 1834 or 1838? Nice choices (sarc)! Why not just make the 3rd choice 1836?

Q1 is a stretch considering that there was no British State until 1707; hence no 'British Empire' until after that date. And that's only the first questionable answer.

Brian Reynolds, Technically Hong Kong was always owned by China ... They leased it out to Briton on a 99-year lease which has now expired and therefore is again under the authority of China ...

In relation to question three I thought Hong Kong was part of the British Empire and the last time I checked it was also part of China.
