Allow more leniance on Rosh Hashanah please. Allow Rosh Ashana, Rosh Ashauna, and some others. In Hebrew the way it is spelled makes perfect sense, but I have only heard the name and never seen it written, which could be true for others also.

I was trying “New Year”. It seemed the most correct form, we don’t call the Chinese New Year by its Chinese name, for example.

It should be Heracles that stole golden apples from Hera's orchard; it would be Hercules if it was Juno's orchard.

The forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden was never identified. European painters in the renaissance era began the trend of depicting an apple (which is native to Kazakhstan and nowhere near the Middle East). Yes I know the story symbolic, etc.

Tradition holds it to be an apple, and what it says in Genesis is only one version or part of the myth. It's like how Cinderella can be said to have worn a glass slipper even if that wasn't in the original version of the story.

Ah, frig. Eris, of course. The goddess of discord. Should've gotten that one.

Maybe you shouldn't refer to the company as "Apple Computer", and just use "Apple", as most people know it by.

Apple Computers is not the only company named "Apple." Yes, it's certainly the largest and most well known, but why introduce unnecessary ambiguity?

I'm surprised that Hercules is so low, I figured that a lot of people would at least guess him. If a Greek mythological figure is doing something, there's a pretty good chance it's Hercules. The guy got around.

I think that's how I guessed him. If it's not him, then I usually just guess Perseus or give up trying to answer that question.

eros shouldn't be accepted for eris. Eros was the god of love and Eris was the goddess of discord (unless there are two versions of the myth)

Guessed Alan Turing for the poisoned apple question, but I suppose he went one step beyond falling into a coma.

Why do you use the word mythological to describe Hera's orchard, but omit it when describing the tempting serpent?

Mythological is modifying the creature, not Hera's orchard. That's basic English.

As for the serpent question, stating that the answer is mythological would probably throw people off, as there's a slight difference between mythology and religion

Love all the people on their high horse correcting the quiz author by saying that it's "technically Heracles," and then completely missing that he actually got Atlas to do it, and never stepped into Hera's garden himself.
