no all the ones you're thinking of are exonyms from indo-european languages (unless I missed one)

Re: Doug's Fiendish Trick Trivia Questions
they're probably still not very good answers though because you can't really assume that everything first coined in an indo-european language is related to some proto-indo-european rootJeb Bush 2012 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 10:29 pm no all the ones you're thinking of are exonyms from indo-european languages (unless I missed one)

Re: Doug's Fiendish Trick Trivia Questions
Finnish isn't an Indo-European language, but unfortunately, the name "Finland" comes from what the Norse called the place, not from what its own people called it

Re: Doug's Fiendish Trick Trivia Questions
I admire the attempt. I was gonna try it until I realized my guess for everything would be "Indian for something"

Re: Doug's Fiendish Trick Trivia Questions
There's only one U.S. president who served in the military but was never an officer
Spoiler!
I think most Americans would know this, but if you're from outside the United States, it might be harder. Only one U.S. president was a five-star flag officerSpoiler!
Only one U.S. president was awarded the Medal of HonorSpoiler!

Those aren't trick questions
Here's a fiendish trick trivia question
Which U.S. president awarded which U.S. president the Medal of Honor in 2001?

Re: Doug's Fiendish Trick Trivia Questions
There can be, at any given moment, one five-star admiral or one five-star general for a branch of service, being the highest-ranking officer of that branch
At the time of Grant, the General of the Army was a four-star general. Five-stars didn't exist yet

If you're the president of all 50 states then you should be a 50-star general

Re: Doug's Fiendish Trick Trivia Questions
I haven't added the planet one to the list, it seems to be controversial. The president one went right in, though, that one is gold
