Yes, but that would make it an ideal pub quiz question(unless you consider"equally"
Too misleading.  :D

Today's fun fact.
Autumn and Fall were both used pretty commonly in medieval England. After the new world was settled, Fall fell out of use in England, and Autumn in the colonies. Because they were separated by a big bit of water, and back in the 17th and 18th centuries there was little transfer between the two, the out of use one didn't get used.

I did consider the Beatles one, but as one team member is 'George' in the Dung Beatles, I tend to avoid Beatles questions.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Does this work as a question?

QuoteOf the four canonical gospels of the New Testament, three are referred to as the synoptic Gospels because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in similar or sometimes identical wording. Which of the main gospels is non-synoptic; that is it varies significantly from the other three, with different accounts in a different style?

That will be question 7 in the round, because it is so difficult. (I try to to start easy, bit tricky 3 and/or 4 , easier 5 an maybe 6, put the bad ones and 7, 8, and/or 9, then easier q10)
