I got stuck on the garbage/elevator one, wasting my remaining time trying words like people, person, men, women, children, etc (rubbish goes in the garbage; people go in the elevator). Haha.

Always consider the length of the line in the clue. It tells you wether the word is short or not, which can narrow down the options... (Though "Men" could have worked as a short word. ;) )

Maybe 'shoal' should be accepted for a group of fish? I've heard it used far more often than 'school',

Is there a rule that all quizzes have to have a Harry Potter reference? Yeesh. I am waiting for Cities of Europe to add Hogsmeade.

I've lost count of how many perfect scores I've missed out on due to Harry Potter questions. Sort of resigned to the fact now.

Maybe you could try reading the Harry Potter books. I did (as an adult), and enjoyed them.

Yes, I'll read them eventually. It would help if you could pay for my retirement.

What does money have to do with anything? Or do you mean you have no time? Surely you don't work from 6am till midnight? You even have time to hang around on jetpunk so you have time to read. And from what i remember they are a very fast read. I think i read the 1st or 2nd in a day, but seem most as movies.

either way the questions are so basic most is common knowledge (like about some other other books) you basicly only have to watch 5 minutes of one of the movies to know the answers jetpunk quizzes ask (besides specific potter quizzes obviously)

I'm not sure why some people assume that our lack of knowledge regarding Harry Potter is due to being too lazy to read the books. I have read and seen enough to know that it isn't for me, the same as Marvel or Lord of the Rings (and yes, I read The Hobbit as a ten year old and didn't like it then either). Not everybody likes the same genre of literature or film and I won't be reading Harry Potter just to improve my score on JetPunk

I read the first book under pressure from a friend. I hated the clumsy roots used in the names and objects, as well as the writing... felt like a script.

The movies under Chris Columbus were great to watch, and the actors were unforgettable.

I also detest Agatha Christie's writing (repetitive structure, dull to me) though I plotz for David Suchet as Poirot.

Bury me with a Bill Bryson in the Woods.

Should you include Binomial in addition to binary?
+4
Level 84
May 16, 2017
Binomial, in its mathematical sense, refers to a polynomial having two terms; not base 2 numbers.
+1
Level 88
Dec 21, 2020
It's Latin. Bi = 2. Nomen = name. A base 2 counting system wouldn't be binomial. Species names (usually) and Abraham Lincoln are binomial.

I had no idea what Oktoberfest was, but I figured it looked German, so I guessed Munich, and I got it! Was going to guess Berlin or Köln if I didn't get it

"Bird is to Flock" / "Fish is to School" is in Analogies #4 as "Birds are to Flock" / "Fish are to School".

Also, there's a stray } in "Jim} Carrey".

Also, "Bibliophile is to Books" / "Anglophile is to England" is the same answer as Analogies #5's "Sinophile is to China" / "Anglophile is to England".

What's wrong with SCRAPE as an anagram of SPACER ?
+3
Level 84
Dec 22, 2020
It may be an anagram, but it's more specific than that. Some people call it a "semordnilap", but I prefer backronym.
+1
Level 80
Dec 23, 2020
Ah, I see what you mean
+6
Level 75
Dec 29, 2020
a backronym is something completely different - it is when an acronym is formed from an already existing word rather than a new word being created by forming an initialism

"Potter" should also be accepted for Albus - Harry's younger son.

Level 60
Jul 26, 2021
I was surprised "Hood" wasn't accepted, since last names are usually enough.
+1
Level 70
Jul 26, 2021
For "Severus is to Snape", arguably could also be "Albus is to Potter". Harry named his son "Albus", so if the only requirement is first and last names, "Potter" should also be accepted.

Great quiz :)

If you know about Albus Potter, you must have read enough to know who Albus Dumbledore is.

I take issue with the Pennsylvania/Downing answer.

The President of the US is the head of state, so surely would correspond to HM The Queen, rather than just the prime minister?

+2
Level 65
Jul 28, 2021
It works with the PM instead of the Queen, the Queen is the head of state, but the PM is the one who is the head of the government and runs the country day to day just like the POTUS.

is anyone else confused about the robin and batman one? robin was batman's sidekick but little john was robin hood's nemesis.

Little John was Robin Hood's companion/sidekick. ( I think you are confusing him with King John.)

I was very confused by the Oktoberfest one, because we have Oktoberfest in Salt Lake City too. I was aware it was a german thing but I couldn't remember specifically which city.
