As a side note, the symbol for scales and recycling don't display in Chrome (I'm using version 33.0.something). Had to load the quiz in firefox to see them.

Phone and woman will work now. It works on Chrome for me, version 33. But it's not a good sign. I have a feeling I'm going to catch a lot of flack on this quiz. :)

Got them all with almost four minutes left, but was a little annoyed at having to guess what it was looking for. For "÷", it didn't accept the name of the symbol ("obelus"), only what the symbol stood for. Whereas for "✡" and "☭" it didn't accept the things the symbols stand for ("Judaism" and "Communism") but only the names of the symbols.

Is the prescription one an international thing? I have never seen it or heard about it. Or is it something specifically used in english speaking countries?

all the other ones were easy, only one I couldnt remember in time was maltese (tried several things, like templar and georgian, which are basicly the same cross, just not the name unicode has chosen to use. Actually the two I gave are more correct because a real maltese cross, does not have width in the center (I hope you get what I mean) it joins into a point.)

That symbol stands for the latin word 'recipe', meaning 'take thou'. As a one time pharmacist I was annoyed that the quiz didn't accept 'recipe' but wanted 'prescription', which isn't strictly correct.

Might it be reasonable to accept 'Ban The Bomb' or 'Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament' for what now seems to be called the peace sign? I belive the symbol was designed for those movements in the 50s.

Great idea for a quiz, lots of fun, thank you.

Suggested typeins:

- "Magen David" for the Star of David

- "Communism" and "socialism" for the hammer and cycle

- "Infinite" for infinity
