Interesting quiz. Nice explanations. A+

Witches and the way people think about witches (and accuse people of witchcraft) has been a subject of deep interest to me ever since I found out that 2 of those 19 people hanged in Salem were great (times 10 or so) grandmothers of mine.

Great quiz. For once, I managed to learn something by proofreading quizzes, since I got an A+, this time. (I think I got 2 wrong -- Endor and Baba Yaga -- when I proofed it, but I actually remembered the right answers, this time.)

Great quiz, mosca. Got 8/10. I'd heard OF Baba Yaga, but nothing ABOUT her. And I did not know that about Anne Boleyn. VERY interesting quiz. Keep up the good work.
