    Well, Latin, actually. The Telegraph had a wee quiz about Latin and I was happy to get 75%. The last time I did Latin was at school; many, many lunae ago. Try it for yourself: Take the test: how well do you know your Latin?[^] Just a bit of Thursday fun.

        80%. It was tricky, as they wanted the exact translation: the multiple choice answers had both the translation and how the phrase is used idiomatically.

            75% and I was educated in the US public school system which means I never learned any latin. Not bad. :)

                        90% Failed on Invicta and Alias. But I'm satisfied, I also never studied Latin, but I have to admit that I love multiple choice questions. I would have gotten someting in the vicinity of 0% otherwise.

                            70% without studying latin ever... but my mother tongue is french (latin derived): de facto this helps that

                                Never took a Latin lesson and got 65% sometimes picked it by common usage and other times by the derived English words. Saw people had problems with alibi so I tried to get derived word instead of common meaning and blew it.
