I was under the impression that "strife" was interchangeable with pestilence.

I had hunger for famine.

Level 92
Dec 16, 2015
I honestly can't see how those two could be interchanged. War and strife, maybe.

Me too. But I think that's just because of the game Darksiders.

maybe you are mixed up with 7 sins or something? I meant something differently but cant come up with it. Someone on another quiz compared the 7 sins to another list, which had strife on it ( It think some biblcal text, I am not sure anymore)

Since typing Austria gives you Austro-Hungarian Empire, shouldn't typing Turkey give you Ottoman Empire?

You should accept Nick Chopper for the tin man under the "Main Wizard of Oz Characters". Don't try to argue about it, because if you do, just look in the first book of the Oz series. It calls the Tin Man Nick Chopper.

Arguably, the Wizard and the wicked witch were "main" characters. Then you could accept Donald Trump and Ann Coulter.

in that vein then also Obama and Hillary.

Level 69

I gotta agree with zizzers4 here, so if you don't want to accept Nick Chopper, maybe specify you're only looking for the *movie* characters? N.B. How Nick Chopper came to be made of tin is a VERY disturbing story for a children's book. Let's just say he didn't always hit the log with his axe. Think Nebula (Thanos's daughter.)

The golf major held in Britain is named The Open (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men's_major_golf_championships).

It works if you type it
+2
Level 74
Oct 26, 2018
Yes, but it's not called the British Open. It is just the Open (Golf Championship). Accept British Open as a type-in by all means, but please label it "The Open"
+1
Level 57
Apr 22, 2016
I was wondering why typing "open" revealed the British one and not the US one...

Pedantic I know, but "freestyle" isn't a stroke, its an event where you are free to use any stroke you like; most use the crawl
+1
Level 65
Mar 16, 2016
Freestyle sounds like the "Normal" stroke. It is the fastest stroke. Strange that it is also called the crawl? "The freestyle stroke, also known as front crawl, is the fastest and most efficient of the competitive swimming strokes. That’s why it is always used in the freestyle event of swimming competitions and is also often the preferred stroke of experienced swimmers and triathletes." -- Not me

You're right, it is pedantic.

Kind of scary to think that only 30% know of the atria of the human heart!
+4
Level 55
Aug 30, 2014
Weird, isn't it? There must be something inherently memorable about the word "ventricle" that just isn't about the word "atrium". I'm one of the 16% who remembered the former but not the latter.
+12
Level 70
Jun 16, 2016
Why is it scary? Should we be doing our own heart surgery?
+1
Level 51

absolutely! far too many people lacking the can do spirit in the field of home surgery.

They were called auricles when I was in school.
+1
Level 84
Jun 14, 2017
Glad to hear you say that, ander217. That's what I typed initially. Scratched my head, and then went to "atrium". Now I'm wondering how I knew atrium, when all I knew from my school years was auricle. Go figure.
+1
Level 51
Mar 14, 2024
nearly half a century since i learned about the heart and they were called atria in our text books, but auricle should definitely be accepted

Don't worry mate, I won't be your heart surgeon

Level 75
Feb 3, 2015
I tried right and left auricle and gave up when those didn't work. In my day, we were taught the heart had only auricles and ventricles. Now I realize that, too, has changed and the name auricle is given to a portion of the atrium. How is a person expected to keep up when they keep changing everything we were taught in school??? Oh, by taking Jetpunk quizzes. Thank you.

Level 66

+1 for auricles. 'Ventricles and Auricles' just flowed better and was easier for a younger version of me to learn.

Quebec borders the Atlantic!
+1
Level 63
May 14, 2018
I think he is right. The extreme northeastern point, where Quebec, Newfoundland and Nunavut meets, is at the Atlantic ocean. So even if you don't want to count St Lawrence bay, then it still borders the Atlantic ocean.

And by using the logic that the St Lawrence bay don't count, P.E.I. shouldn't be counted as on the Atlantic either.

+2

It is a loosely defined region of Canada only including Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI, not the provinces the ocean literally touches. ;)

maybe 'plague' can be allowed for pestilence?

TIL canter is not considered the same gait as gallop. I rode regularly for 11 years and had no idea.

(Side note: I'm francophone and canter is translated as "petit galop", so it might just be a matter of language, but I can't recall ever being given different instructions for gallop vs canter.)

+1
Level 79
May 19, 2018
Easy way to differentiate is that if you're a good rider (which I'm not) you can stay in the saddle in canter. Try that in gallop and you'll be singing soprano.

One of Israel's official languages is English.

Yes, but Israel is in South America. Just like Cyprus.

I love this! I am now on Team South America. This resolves all of the Cyprus arguments going forward, and I'm ready to let the world know.

Level 67
Oct 25, 2018
Just like Bo Diddley said in "Say Man":

"Where you from?"

"South America."

"You don't look like no South American to me."

"I'm still from South America."

"What part?"

"South Texas."

Brunei has its own English dialect that, although considered a national language, is taught in schools and, as such, most educated people in Brunei have at least a basic understanding of the language. It isn't, however, all that noteworthy because Brunei Malay is still much more widely spoken.

Even if it wasnt and 100% spoke english, as their first language, it is about what is the official language

'Austria Hungary' doesn't work. Im pretty sure it works on other quizzes I've taken.
+1
Level 71
May 8, 2018
That's what I tried; when I took A-Level history a few years ago it was often referred to as Austria-Hungary
+5
Level 74
May 8, 2018
"Austria-Hungary" or just "Austria" should be accepted!

Good quiz. Quite a few in there that aren't instantly obvious and require some thinking. Personally, I think you could add a bit to the time.

Accept straight for cross (one of the punches)?

Level 67
Oct 25, 2018
Yeah, I often hear it called a straight punch. Very common in boxing lingo.
+1
Level 72
May 13, 2020
Good quiz! Looks like those commenting above with 'apodous' and 'jeapardous' (perhaps obsolete, in fairness) could still do with being recognised, although not 'splendous' - as real as it sounds, the word is either splendid or splendorous (yes, I did have to Google 'splendous' to check). Another minor quibble is that the heart question seems like a needless giveaway of two extra points, but that's just my opinion.
+2
Level 60

I know breast and back are accepted for breaststroke and backstroke, but can you accept fly for butterfly and free for freestyle? They are common abbreviations for those strokes and two already have abbreviations.

Can San Jose and San Fran be switched so that they're alphabetical? I was racking my brain trying to think of something that started with San and came between D and F!
+1
Level 67
Mar 10, 2024
I thought the same thing ... I think they are in order of size rather than alphabetical? Other lists also are not alphabetical, though. Threw me off!
