Kal’s only been featured 35 times. It’s harder than you might think to get featured. Three isn’t so bad considering most people have zero. I’m also pretty sure Mal’s criticism isn’t sincere or mean spirited when he says Kal’s showing that he’s not an ichthyologist.

That hip-hop fashion question needs to go, unless there is some verifiable source. It sounds an awful lot like the quizmaker's perception rather than fact. I hear Yves St. Laurent and Louis Vutton referenced much more than Prada in hip-hop. How can you possibly verify what a whole genre's worth of artists mentions the most?

A quick Google search yielded this article: https://www.gq.com/story/statistical-analysis-of-rap-and-fashion-designers. I think that it's a fun clue. I'm not a huge listener of hip hop music, but I've only heard Yves Saint Laurent mentioned in Bodak Yellow (it's #10 on this list).

Keep in mind that the article is only talking about the past 15 years. Hip-Hop is a lot older than that.

"Which country borders Switzerland to the west?"

- the answer should be Austria or Liechtenstein.

From wikipedia: "[France] borders ... Switzerland ... to the east"

I saw this mistake again recently. I'm sure it's not a USA/UK difference because I've never seen anyone from any part of the world reversing the use of "x borders y to the z".

Pandora *is* the name of the moon in Avatar, not the name of the planet that the moon orbits.

From an Avatar fan wiki:

"Pandora is an Earth-like habitable extrasolar moon from the Alpha Centauri System, the closest star system to human's own Solar System. It is the fifth moon of the gas giant Polyphemus."
