The daily history question you'll get wrong.
Every morning, one history question you'll answer with total confidence and get completely wrong. Two minutes, one ego check, and a story worth retelling at dinner.
For example: How tall was Napoleon Bonaparte?
- A. About 5 feet 2 inches
- B. About 5 feet 7 inches
- C. Under 5 feet
Most people say A. The answer is B: average for his day. The "short" legend grew from French inches, which were longer than English ones, and from British cartoonists.
