Ya I tried sadness first too. I believe that technically depression is not part of regular grief. depression is a state on it's own that could easily be caused by grief. so I guess the point I'm trying to make is that depression should work, but so should sadness
I’ve always been taught that the five stages are: Disbelief, Anger, Blame, Depression, Acceptance. Considering that disbelief is basically the same as denial, it should be accepted. I also think depression is fine as a stage of grief because it’s not a transient feature of the grieving person’s mind, like sadness would be, but a permeating fog or feeling that something isn’t right. I have no idea where blame came from.
I don't believe I missed the five stages of grief! I'm so mad I did! I'd give anything if I could have just gotten them all! Ugh...I'm just so sad about it! Oh, well...life goes on!
Great quiz, but the five positions of Basketball? A sport barely played outside of America. Kinda limiting the chances of those of us from the rest of the world.
Basketball unlike baseball is quite universal (though not as big as soccer) When i saw basketball I thought it was put in specefically to not be too US-centric.
Basketball is quite big in Lithuania, Australia, Canada, the Philippines, Argentina, Russia, Spain, China, Brazil, Serbia, Greece, Italy, France, Croatia, Slovenia, and Turkey. I'd say that is more than 'barely played outside of America.'
Grouping things together is fun, even though it may be considered politically incorrect or somewhat discriminatory by 21st century standards. That being said, I doubt anyone refused to take any of the grouping quizzes on moral grounds.
Just a minor grammatical question - any reason why one entry in the great apes section needs an "s" versus the others which don't? Spent some time trying to figure out which one I missed when it was just missing an "s". Thanks.
I thought so too. Turns out there are two syllables, just not the ones commonly used in English. There's a nice little video in this article explaining and demonstrating the correct pronunciation
I came here to comment this. "Kiev," based on the Russian, is 2 syllables, but since the '90s, the official transliteration is "Kyiv," from the Ukrainian, which is 1 syllable. As a former resident of Ukraine, Kyiv should count as 1 syllable and thus presents problems for this quiz.
Can you accept "shahada" for "belief" under the Five Pillars of Islam category? I knew the Arabic name, I just didn't know a good translation for it in English.
One Direction has never been on either my musical or cultural radar beyond the fact that they exist. Might as well ask me to type the middle names of a j-pop group in 17th century kanji (there's a keyboard layout for that, right?).
Exactly. I was moving right along, and then I see ONE DIRECTION LOL. Other than my teenie bopper sister-in-laws, I have never heard them mentioned by anyone.
Zayn and Harry have become stars in their own right. I am well outside the demographic for their music, but I at least know their names. The others...not a clue.
I tried about ten things such as "no god but god," "only one god," "monotheism," etc. I even tried "la illaha illa allah" (which is probably spelled poorly). It's possible that there was something I should have gotten - zakat and hajj both worked.
I'm not knocking anyone who got all the guys in One Direction, I got all 5 Spice Girls so I can't talk crap, but I'm not as bothered as I usually am about not knowing something. Styles was it for me.
To make this work, you'll want to put the category in the first column of Step 2, and the answer in the second column.
Then I saw bargaining.
Can any of those be accepted?
Not that I know anything about basketball haha
it sounded english enough I didnt know how I could englishify it more
