Groups of Seven Quiz

Very good quiz. Lots of variety.

Australia is not a continent, Australasia, or Oceania is the continent's name, please fix this. Many thanks ImmortalScientist

...I am a little terrified that only 96% of people got the day's of the week. o-o

Not everyone is a native English speaker. Can you name all the days of the week in Spanish? How about German? Do you see what I'm getting at?

Could use some more time. Knew more just couldn't get them all in.

Sweet and Sour should be acceptable for Sour Mix. otherwise great quiz

Philosopher's stone was the original release in England. The American release a year later was Sorcerer's Stone

suprised agean isn't one of the answers for the seas.

sorry aegean.

Australia is definitely a continent. Promise.

kosovo is not former yugoslav republic. kosovo was never a republic on its own, it was a part of serbia. trust me, i live there.

It still bugs me that most people don't know the word Avarice, which is Greed.

yea aegean?!

Australia is definitely a continent. ImmortalScientist, where did you get your info?

more time needed :(

Australia is most certainly a continent; "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is an alternate title to the more common "Sorcerer's Stone"; and more time is definitely needed for this quiz.

What are G-7 Countries?

Actually, Philosopher's Stone is the original, published in Britain. Rowling knew that us Americans wouldn't know what that means, so in the USA, it was published as Sorcerer's Stone.

JK Rowling sounds conceited then. I'm American, and I'm familiar with the Philosopher stone. I don't like this implication that all Americans are morons, especially from someone who IS American. Some of us are capable of dealing with four syllable words.

Harry Potter is a children's series. Most American children aren't going to know that a philosopher is also another word for wizard

Especially since in America (in general) 'philosopher' does not have the mystical connotation that it carries in Britain, but connotes a more scholarly approach to knowledge. The title was translated (between English dialects) to carry a closer meaning.

I love these group quizzes! There's always a few that I know perfectly, and then a few groups I'm so bad at (the Harry Potter books.. only got one). Pretty sad that the days of the week are not at 100%..

Got all the HP books, deadly sins, G-7 countries (even though I'm not sure what that means), colours, continents, dwarfs and days. Only got Eagle in the BSA one. And got no seven summits. What are seven summits by the way?

a little more time please 54/84

G7 is the group formed by the 7 most powerful developed countries in the world.

More time needed...

More time definitely needed. 51/84 ...bit more time and I could have got most of them except for the scount ranks and the summits (although I did get 2 obvious ones, no idea about the others though).

Maybe add avarice as an alternative to greed? I always hear avarice.

needed more time

I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure its G8 now and Australia is included

@emopandakun It is a great overstatement to claim that "Sorcerers stone" is more common. Surely it is in america as it is a much bigger country, however the original and correct version is Philosophers stone the title the books author J.K. Rowling called it. However she and american publishers didn't think america was smart enough for a four syllable word so changed it to another word for wizard (therefore dumbing it down) for america.

It has nothing to do with "dumbing it down". Philosopher has a different meaning here than it does in the UK. To us, a philosopher is like a wise person, to them it pretty much means wizard.

got stuck on Antarctica as a continent!

@gingerbreadman and @darkseraphim21: I believe that it wasn't changed to sorcerer's stone because of the steriotype that americans are stupid, but because of the connotation of philosopher. To me anyways, a philosopher is sort of a wise man or a teacher, while a sorcerer is always a wizard. (And I'm an American!)

Anger should be accept for deadly sins, it is often referred to as anger, not just as wrath. Also, needs a bit more time, I knew more but time was my biggest enemy.

Agree on Anger. I also tried Rage . . .

@happygrrl, I disagree, J.K.Rowling once said in an interview that she and the American publishers thought that "philosopher" wasn't a suitable word for Americans as it was thought of as a difficult word to understand. I don't agree with this, but that is what she said.

I love how American's are "stupid", however none of the people that imply this take the time to realize that in a country with as large of a population as America there's bound to be intelligence variation. That's basic statistics. Also, location has nothing to do with intelligence and therefore these claims are totally unquantifiable.

philosopher is difficult to understand for americans because we have a different connotation for that word.

You have made one big mistake in former Yugoslav republics. Kosovo wasn't republic. It was autonomous province which was part of republic of Serbia (like Vojvodina). So Yugoslav republics can only be somewhere with "Groups of 6"

Poor Indigo! Only 74%!

I find it interesting that the days of the week are all on 97% except for Sunday, which is on 96%. Sunday must just be that extra little bit more difficult to remember...

a poor 43!

Hey, you forgot a dwarf! What about Sleazy? :) He was the 1st to make a move on Snow White.

Yugoslavia had six republics, Kosovo was never one of them, so you should change that in a way to ask which are the seven countries that became of what was former Yugoslavia.

I got 51. I know more than I thought haha
