Isn't fish acceptable for salmon? The question says what kind of animal, not species of animal.

Yeah, if the answer was fish, then why would I have listed three different kinds of salmon?

I have to agree with BlendedCow here...It is obvious that you are looking for salmon, but the way the question is worded would make fish technically a correct answer as well because you haven't specified you are looking for a species, just an animal (which fish can be classified as)...Maybe replace with "...are varieties of what species of animal?" Salmon is technically a family, and the different types are sub-families if you want to get really specific.

Would you accept "Volkswagen"? That's all I put, and when it didn't accept it I thought you thought a beetle isn't a bug!

The question asks for the model, not the manufacturer.

The Volkswagen model is no more called Beetle than it is Bug.

Weird thing, but I've remembered the name of two humped camels since elementary school because I always think of it as "Back-train" instead of "Bactrian". Like train cars on its back!

Never heard of Kourtney and khloe ........ vaguely heard of Kardashian . seems like a weird question for a general knowledge!

I've seen their names everywhere online, so I don't think it's a weird question for a general knowledge quiz.

Bethelhem should be accepted. No explanation, it just should.

No, because that's not how "Bethlehem" is spelled.

I think Pesach ought to be accepted for passover, as that is the actual name of the holiday

surf should be accepted

TheCrusher

Agreed. You don't have to type "golfing" when the answer is "golf" or "basketballing" whent the answer is "basketball"...

MasterKenobi

But if you know surf, you know surfing, and if surf isn't accepted, it's not gonna hurt you to type three extra letters. The sport is referred to as surfing, not surf. Golf and basketball are golf and basketball, but surfing is surfing, just like curling, bowling, and fencing.

Can we have "Spectrum" be acceptable for colors of the rainbow? I thought of it as the light spectrum, which is basically what it is when viewed through a prism. A rainbow is a large form of viewing the spectrum.

I did commit a typo putting Pessah, but anyways, since Passover is also called Pesakh, Pesach or Pesah, I think it should all be accepted. I don't know if the typo was the problem or the Hebrew name is not included at all.

Sifhraven

level 44

Dec 23, 2018

Remembering things in their syllables helps. Beth-le-hem. Hem reminds of heim which means home. Bethlehem means house of bread (just looked that part up, interesting to know). Nothing to do with the memory aid of heim-home above. Because (as I ve just learned) bet=house and lékhem=bread

did not know Kardashian. Only 3% of people didn't know that. I'm either stupid, or smart enough to avoid that media entirely. Actually was shocked it had such a high percentage.
