Tonight at our regular Thursday Night trivia game a question came up:
How long did the Battle of Waterloo last? a) 1 hour, b) 5 hours, c) 10 hours I will not reveal my ( argumentative ) answer, but put it to you, my esteemed colleagues, and await your answer…. |

Given those three choices, C. |

Hmmm, a question, when does a battle start? When the combatants wake up? Start moving? When the first shot is fired? |

C) started around 11:30 ended about 9:30 with the Prussian cavalry chasing down the French. |

Even with different interpretations of the exact start and finish time, 'about ten hours' is still the answer. |

My argument was with Glengarry and arthur1815, but we answered what the caller wanted with 10 hours… many thanks!

The answer to all Waterloo questions should be either Prussia, Prussian, or Blucher. :) |
