Same score. The honesty check for 'Invidious' seemed to not provide a particularly appropriate definition option. I see it mostly used when paired with the word 'comparison' ('Invidious comparison') In the sense that it's kind of intentionally calculated to create an unfair/inaccurate comparison of some sort.

UK was actually reducing their debt as percentage of GDP throughout 1960s. It went down below 100% in 1961 and kept going down all the way to 1990 or so. The debt had originally climbed to over 250% as a result of financing the two world wars.
It was Balboa who led the first European expedition across isthmus of Panama and saw the Pacific Ocean and claimed it (yes,the whole Ocean) for Spain. Cortez to my knowledge never set foot in Panama.
