Back up to 9/10 - I found todays Quiz pretty easy going on my knowledge base.

I got lucky with Q8 as Thomas Hardy lived in my area so we have a lot of access to his history/work - I'd have never known otherwise! My American history is poor so I got. Q9 wrong & had a completely lucky guess with Q10
 
I got 7/10. I guessed number 2 correctly despite not having a clue. I got 6, 7, and 8 wrong.
