The judging for the "newest" seems a bit odd - for viral toy I answered 'Labubu' which the AI dates to 2015, which might be when they were first introduced to the market, but not when they had their viral hype. For newest palace I answered Berliner Stadtschloss which was opened in 2020, but the AI dates it back to 1443
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Both dates are actually "right" from the game's point of view: Labubu was created in 2015 (the viral hype came way later), and construction of the Berliner Stadtschloss started in 1443, the 2020 opening is the reconstruction. In Past and Future, what counts is when the thing first came out/was created, and the dates come from the Wikipedia API. I agree it's not obvious when the question says "viral" or "newest" though, so I'll make those questions more precise. Thanks again for playing! :)
Similarly it asked for Formula 1 World Champion, in the "most recent" game, so I put in Lando Norris, who won last year, but the answer is Max Verstapen because he was born in 1999 and Lando was 1997, it took me a few minutes to even figure out what the leaderboard was saying..
Some clarity there would be much better
