Just a bit picky, but 11 months have 30 days, with some of those having 31........ I think 'Only 30 days' would be better.

Barack Obama and me are both half white. It's just that his other half is black and my other half is also white.

According to Malbabys logic, "one" and "two" would be valid answers to question five. After all, South Africa does have two capital cities (and a third one too).

Level 95

Not quite. They are different logical operands. "How many" asks for a specific answer whereas what Malbaby is saying is that the question "how many months have 30 days" is a statement logically fulfilled with the answer 11; 11 months do, in fact, have 30 days. But come on.

That one reminded me of a common trick question. "exactly 30 days" might clear it up but 92% got it right and when the highest answer is 4 it's kind of obvious.

If we're going to nitpick I'd go with "exactly" 30 days. "Only" 30 days is weird because February has 28

Not saying that the question needs changing but just out of interest, I've heard Christopher Hitchens say that North Korea has only had 1 official leader - Kim Il-Sung - who was named as supreme leader for eternity, with subsequent "leaders" merely taking care of the admin since his death.

I think the phrase he coined for it was a necrocracy

Kim Il-Sung is still the official head of state of North Korea... though... as he's been dead quite a long time he hasn't really been leading it.

A pedant's detail: negative factors (or divisors) also exist, so 2 and 3 have four divisors in total (-2,-1,1,2 and similar for 3), which is more than two.
+3
Level 71

Well, with this logic you could also say that 0.5 is a factor of 2, because 0.5*4=2. And in fact any number x, except 0, is a factor, because x*(2/x)=2. So all of these numbers have infinitely many factors.

3 has the homophone: free
+2
Level 57
Jul 20, 2022
Technically ‘free’ and ‘three’ aren’t quite homophones, although in my experience a fair amount of people pronounce ‘three’ as ‘free’,mostly due to laziness.

it is closer to tree than to free

And 3 is also close to tree in for example a Dutch accent. Tricky question.

Related: You might have heard Dutch F1-driver Max Verstappen saying 'turd' when he means 'third'. This is quite a common Dutch pronounciation.

'Th' and 'f' are different sounds.
+5
Level 53
Jul 20, 2022
I see why Th and F would not be considered homophones, although being brought up in the Norf of England, I thought three and free counted.

I went with One. Because for me One and Won are not homophones. W-o.-n as in Off (One) vs W-uh-n as in Run (Won).

By that logic, if One is a homophone then Three is also a homophone.

Thundersnake is right. Some accents have this thing called th-fronting, where "th" is pronounced like "f". It's used in a bunch of accents on both sides of the Pond, including Cockney, some Yorkshire accents, and AAVE. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th-fronting

How close is "three" to being a homophone of "free". Question confused me as I thought there was no correct answer for a while.

Not at all, using standard British/American pronunciation. Using other pronunciation though (i.e. Irish), possibly.

1 and won are not really homophones, though.

I agree with this, because I pronounce won like [wʊn] and not [wən], but unfortunately that's not the majority

Assuming your dialect doesn't pronounce /t/ and /th/ the same (British, American) then they are in no way homophones. Other dialects that have trouble discerning these phonemes may disagree

Only missed the Chinese number one. I knew that 8 is considered lucky, but didn't know about unlucky numbers. I guess the corollary in the US would be 7 = lucky, 13 = unlucky.

About the 30 days thing and those of us who wish it said "ONLY 30 days"... You might roll your eyes at the nitpicking, but consider the traffic on Jetpunk. We seem to be a group that values precision and accuracy. It's what keeps the standard high and the quizzes worth taking.

Level 53
Jul 20, 2022
No, Guantanamo Bay is a) not technically recognised as part of the US, and even if it was, b) the only parts counted are the integral parts (i.e. the 50 states and Palmyra Atoll), not external territories.

pronunciation should be added as a caveat, because I don't pronounce one and won the same, and certain dialects pronounce three and tree the same, which makes that question confusing

To paraphrase Kryten in Red Dwarf……

A great point, with only two minor flaws. One, Zaire changed its name to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC for short) ehhhh……..twenty five years ago. And two, Zaire changed its name to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC for short) ehhh………. twenty five years ago. Now I realise that technically speaking that’s only one flaw but I thought it was such a big one that it was worth mentioning twice.
