which makes tossups with wacky indicators like “this tectonic plate” inherently more fraudable. because like either it’s one of the few people know or it’s gonna commonlink something more common with the same name near the end (sometimes both! like with this tossup)

they have now also tossed up robert koch.
this entire set was written by one guy. i kinda know him. i was in theory involved with playtesting but in practice remember none of the questions.
how the hell did we let this through

ok i do remember this. the children must know pramoedya and that toer isn’t a surname and therefore isn’t a sufficient answer (the buru quartet came up at the acf nats before this was written so it must be relevant)
giveaway of the tossup on the kosovo war both unambiguously claims kosovo is a country and also claims it’s the youngest country in europe. clear geopolitical stance here
