You should acccept Plumbum for Pb because that is technically correct.

Technically, you know it's lead.
You know that technically lead is simpler to type in.
Technically you're just being pedantic.

For birds of a feather I tried Stick together Fly together Stay together I completely forgot flock together

Um, no. Hate to break it to you but the quiz is in English, not Latin. If you accept "Plumbum", then you'll have to accept every language ("plomb", "blei", "piombo", "chumbo", "plomo" etc.)

That's not the saying, though. It's a famous quote, and therefore should remain original.

I wonder whether you're thinking of 'My Guy'? There's a line in there that goes 'Like birds of a feather we stick together'.

I actually replaced about half of the questions. My quiz writing style is much different than it was in 2013, which is the last time this quiz was featured.

The David Beckham question is wrong. Brooklyn is one of his sons, not his daughter

I didn't know the answer, but I thought, who would be dumb enough to say something like this. After I tried 'Madonna' and did not have the correct answer, I tried to think of Britney Spears but I drew a blank. So I typed 'Beckham.' Bingo.

Although I knew the answer, I thought this tidbit would be a little too esoteric to be on a general knowledge quiz.

I thought the question "What is the nearest city to New York City that has a population over 10 million?' meant the city that was physically closest to New York City and had 10 million residents.

If people came to know the real truth behind Gandhi, then they would have thanked god that he didn't got the noble prize.

That given the opportunity, he will rain nukes on your civilization? Nope sorry, don't follow. Also I feel that my life would be unaffected by anyone winning the Noble Peace Prize (unless I got a share of the winnings).

I don't think Gandhi would have been eligible for a Noble Peace Prize as he was not royalty.

If I'm expected to know things that David Beckham has said or the names of his spawn, then surely it should not be out of bounds to ask a European to know the Heisman trophy.

Also... "WHO are" in the ABBA question? Are you sure you're American, Quizmaster?

They were living in USA at the time and it was widely reported on news stations everywhere. As for the complaint about the English language; this from a supposed English teacher who thinks THAT and THAN are interchangeable?

If you know david beckham good chance you know he has a kid named brooklyn ( even if you dont know beckham, there are only a few (too many) weird kid names out there) You do not need to know what he has said or anything else about him. I literally only know his name, that he is a soccer player and the name of his kid (you only have to hear it once to make it stick)

David Sideris: The vet told me (of my sick cat) I should think about euthanasia. I imagined Japanese children spilling out of their school. He said, "are you thinking about it?" Yep, I replied.
