I'm 35 and had never heard that term before. I never thought there might be a specific name for those cases, to me they're just cases, period. However I'm not in the US and English isn't my first language
I became aware of the term when I started buying albums online, also about the same time, they started doing other things with cases, like cardboard fold jobbies and even things which wouldn't fit in the cd racks I had, so it was helpful that they started putting (jewel case) next to most albums so you knew they would fit in to your cd racks
I'm American and born in the early 80s. I knew jewel case, but I'd appear to be in a small minority.
What's strange, though, is that Phillips is a Dutch company and its inventor was an Englishman. Perhaps the marketing behind the term was just stronger in the US, but it doesn't seem like many no matter where they're from know it all.
I've never heard of the term jewel case in this application. However, just like Philips I'm Dutch, so I knew they are famous for developing the CD, which made me guess the right answer! :D
Another fun fact: The size of the hole in the center of the CD was based on the size of the 'dubbeltje', which was a common Dutch coin worth 10 cents (Guilders). Because yeah, how else would you determine the size of such a hole?!
I guessed De because the last two were Oc (October) and No (November) so I guessed De (December). I have no idea what the first part means, since it clearly doesn't fit into the month analogy. Lucky guess, but I'm as baffled as you are!
In general, it's just numerical roots counting up, or at least close. Sq breaks the pattern (since it's square) but otherwise, it matches up with Latin counting roots.
To this point, the clue implies the existence of only one correct answer, when that is not the case. The clue should be modified to specifically refer to the xylophone.
In the late 12th century, Robert de Boron wrote in Joseph d'Arimathie that the Grail was Jesus's vessel from the Last Supper, which Joseph of Arimathea used to catch Christ's blood at the Crucifixion. Thereafter, the Holy Grail became interwoven with the legend of the Holy Chalice, the Last Supper cup,
The question should be about what the cup is called according to legend. Nobody talks about the "holy grail" in church. I tried chalice, cup of redemption (based on Seder names)... Holy Grail is a highly fantasized name.
I wish there weren't 2 questions based on other answers. I would guess that the vast majority either miss both or (in this quiz's case) get both. It seems to make the quiz out of 18, rather than 20. If the follow-up was trickier it might be better, but even then, 20 unrelated questions would be preferable. At least for me :)
I'd use a thetrical adaption of William Wallace's life, instead of based on, because it is about as historically accurate as inglorious bastards. The battle of Stirling bridge doesn't even feature a bridge (it was a quite important part of the battle irl).
