Groups of Nine Quiz

The NEW JERSEY Nets for NEW YORK STATE sports teams?! Why would you include the Nets, and leave out the Buffalo Sabres?

Yes, Buffalo Sabres are missing.

Lol, how is mars answered correctly more than earth?

LOL,I didn't have a clue about Baseball positions or new york state sports teams. They're not big concerns here in Australia.

aw, poor carol... forgotten in the mists of syndication

What about NY Red Bulls? Buffalo sabres? You have to give some kind of clarification on what you want...like New York CITY teams?

The New Jersey Nets are going to move to Brooklyn as soon as 2012, but they haven't done so yet. The Sabres, however, have been in New York State for a very long time. Also, you should specify that category as Big-4 pro sports teams (to avoid confusion over the women's basketball team or soccer team, or any of the college teams).

Sabres is spelled wrong in the answers thing, js. its "re" not "er"

Shouldn't a royal flush be included in the poker hands? High card is not really a poker hand, it just takes the pot if nobody has anything better.

I never woulda guessed Pakistan as a nuclear power

boo.. far too much ambiguity in this quiz! I didn't realize that nuclear powers were countries, I still think "ace high" should be accepted as a poker hand.

@gtbeam3r I didn't realize nuclear powers were countries, either. The only reason I got it was because I was entering countries for the Baltic Sea and one happened to be an answer for the nuclear powers. Otherwise, love this quiz!

New York Red Bulls? from the MLS

yes 81/81 on my second try

Sabres, not Sabers.

I figured big 4 sports teams was assumed, though I guess others did not. As for NY state sports teams, there will always be controversy there due to the Giants and Jets playing their home games in New Jersey. The fact is that most teams in our country are named for the cities they play in (and for most, it is the metro area rather than the city limits) and not the states. If you had said 'New York City teams," The Nets and Devils would be added to the equation and the Sabres and Bills removed. As it is, some may lobby you to have the Giants and Jets taken out. I, as a diehard Giants fan, will never do such a thing...I'm a New Yorker and fan of the Yanks, Giants, Rangers, and Knicks...so I loved the quiz.

Planets, Baltic Sea countries and Fellowship of the Ring were the only groups I got all of. But I was one short on Poker positions and Baseball positions. I don't understand why Royal Flush wasn't included.

@Mithol and canadianeh a Royal Flush is just a specific straight flush so I assume that's why it's not on the list

ya a royal flush is a type of straight flush and ace high is a variation of a high card. that's what they are officially considered. sabres is still spelled wrong. i got credit for "marsha" brady on the groups of 8 quiz. i know 0 lord of the rings people, but when i jokingly typed "sam" for the brady's butcher, i got a guy.

i need to start playing poker!

I couldn't figure out how "Gandolph" wasn't the other member of the Fellowship...until I realized it was Gandalf. Also, I think midfielder should be accepted for center fielder.

What is up with Planets (former)? I thought it meant former planets (ie. Pluto), very confusing! Changing the header to something like "Planets (incl. former)" would be better... Also "baseball positions" and "new york state sports teams" are just silly, not all of us are Americans.

You're on an American web site.

kitcat1217, the center fielder has never been referred to as a midfielder. Ever.

37/81 only knew the Baltic Sea countries and the planets, guessed most of the reindeers, poker hands and nuclear powers. Being British I have no clue about New York sports, baseball or the Brady Bunch!

47/81. Got planets, reindeer, and Baltic Sea countries. Was typing Alice for a Brady Bunch full house when I ran out of time. Didn't really have a clue about any of the others.

ROFL, I got every single answer except for the Brady Bunch characters. I got swept on those (only got Alice).

Aww, poor Boromir, only 22% remember him! I always loved Boromir, even if he was corrupted by the ring - he was a gullible human after all...

Got distracted halfway through the planets, moved onto another ground and forgot about it. I realised as soon as I pressed give up, I really need to check things properly OOPS!

WOW only 93% got earth. Sad

@Quizmaster - Please accept "Marsha" as a spelling for the Brady characters. That messed me up big time.

First time 100% with 2:08 left oh yea!!!

Can "centre field" count?
