I had the same problems as Anne Packrat, but also, #20 is a subjective question. Mochi is, comparatively, not hard to make for some, but quite difficult to make for others. And I miscounted my empresses.

Hmm. I read that teeth blackening was used by wealthier women as an indication as to their marriage status. I believe this was in one of the program notes on a samurai film I watched. Cool quiz though!

@Anne Packrat, thanks for the heads up! Sadly, the quiz won’t allow me to fix the issue. Add 6.66% to your score and sorry for the mix up!

Uh, the quiz has some bugs. I answered False for 19 and True for 29 (same as in your answers at the end of the post) and the quiz marked me wrong for both.
