10/12. They must have fixed question 4... I did a lot of inferring and guessing.

"Fez" is incorrect too. It's "fes" (as in Rudolf Hess).

9/12. A lot better than I thought I did, and I didn't have a clue about the Saint one, I don't really pay much attention to Christian lore....
Were the Fez banned because of the Janissaries? They did wear them iirc. Of course I could easily be waaaay off. Anyone enforce that law?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Janissaries did not wear fes. The Law of Attire was one of the reforms following the foundation of Turkish republic. Mustafa Kemal introduced the prohibition of fes by showing up to the public with his modern hat when he landed in Kastamonu.
Touristically maybe but fes can not be used as a component of public wear.

Practically, no. They sell it to tourists. But the law is out there, yes.

About question 4...
None of the answers is the Turkish for mountain, which is dağ. The first two are names of mountains. So is the third but it's spelled differently ("Kafkas").

I only got 6 right. Damn it, couldn't they ask more general Turk and Saljuq questions?
