Despite knowing virtually nothing at all about sport, there I was thinking a hat trick related first and foremost to a bowler getting three batsman out consecutively in cricket. Oh, wait ... even Merriam-Webster agrees with me!
Sam-I-Am is the one who assets he does not like Green Eggs and Ham. He never urges anyone to eat them. Though I'm being pedantic, I'm pretty sure. Thanks for the quiz! :)
I thought the answer to question 2 was dice because I thought "each one" was referring to 'each side'. Maybe you could rephrase it a bit to make it clearer?
a side doesn't necessarily have to follow the geometric definition. a side can be any shape, no just flat. for example, you have a right and left side of your body. snowflakes happen to commonly be symmetrical along 6 lines commonly, dividing them into 6 identical sides.
Yeah, I was confused why "dice" was not accepted, and I tried Rubik's Cube as well. The wording was a bit confusing for that one and I thought it meant each side was unique.
It should. The terms are generally used interchangeably, but they are technically different.
"A pillar is a vertical support member and may be constructed as a single piece of timber, concrete or steel, or built up out of bricks, blocks and so on. ... However, whereas a pillar does not necessarily have a load-bearing function, a column is a vertical structural member that is intended to transfer a compressive load."
Cool quiz, some questions stumped me so very original! For question 2 I put in Rubik's Cube! LOL I was reading that each side was different... oh well. Still good quiz!
I went with "dice" until I realized that it wasn't saying that each side is unique. In some ways it's a better answer, since dice are typically 6-sided, but there are also D4, D8, D12, D20, and irregular polyhedrons like D10. Snowflakes aren't just "typically" six-sided. The nature of water molecules causes all snowflakes to grow in six directions. Only a damaged snowflake wouldn't be six-sided.
I know the painter is the most famous Van Gogh, but there are more well-known Van Goghs (maybe only in the Netherlands, but still). I would suggest to also accept 'Theo' as a valid answer.
Furthermore, I feel 'classical order' or just 'order' should be accepted to the Ionic/Doric/Corinthian-question. (First, I tried 'pillar' myself, but that could be just my bad English)
It's the "it's said that each one is unique" part that makes it about snowflakes. Sure, every die is unique. Every observable object in the universe is unique! But all dice look pretty much the same, whereas there is considerable variation in the appearance of snowflakes.
It's certainly not enough to require an update on its own, but the freight tonnage stat could use refreshing next time this quiz gets updated- it seems it's at 27% as of 2022:
I (as well as many others) read the snowflake question as saying each SIDE is unique, which means it perfectly describes dice. Maybe reword the question to say "Each one is unique, and they have six sides."

"No, this is Hatrick."
Also, do snowflakes have 6 sides? 6 prongs or branches or something, but are they 'hexagons'?
