A hangover influenced 95% here, which is rather pleasing.
70% here but made some really silly obvious mistakes and crap hand-eye co-ordination.
Not even thought about Latin for longer than I care to remember though.
who needs Latin when English is the lingua franca of the world?
igmc.
I guess the old/"better" educated should do well...
...and should know better than to read the Failograph 😐
Ecce! In pictura est puella, nomine Cornelia. Cornelia est puella Romana quae in Italia habitat
Ominium Gallium in partis tris divisus est...
Caeser aderat forte
Brutus etis at
Caeser sic in omnibus
Brutus inis at
95% here, due to not reading one question properly...
95%

Who are you calling "old"? 😉
"It's all Greek to me", right? (Or, more specifically, "to me all things are the Greek language"...)
Oh, and 95%. alibi got me.
65%, but I've never had a Latin lesson in my life. I'll pass to my son as he's doing Higher Latin.
A rather poor 55% guess
C'est la vie 🙁
95%
*the shame*
45% by guesswork. Never done Latin did I.
All (well, most) in everyday English use. So should know em really.
Mostly guesses, but 70%. Not too shabby.
The only Latin I know is Romanes eunt domus 😆

Ooh, 95% here.... so all that money my parents spent on my education wasn't wasted.
The version I learned was:
Caesar adsum iam forte
Brutus aderat
Caesar sic in omnibus
Brutus sic in at.
Hmmmm. 95 per cent. My latin master will be spinning in his grave.
Never did Latin so pleased with 75%
95%.
It would appear that the second worst Comprehensive in Manchester was good for something after all.
Got the habeas corpus one wrong.
95% here too - lazy slip over alibi. Heavily rusted GCSE Latin and some pure guessework ftw!
Thepurist, I never thought I'd see text from Ecce Romani textbooks posted up on a forum thirty years after I was being taught using them.
Of course the one thing those quizzes show is how different a literal translation can be from the accepted meaning.
85% Never did a lesson in Latin. I is obvs cultured innit.
