All this time I thought it was a doorjam. I had no idea there was a "b" stuck on the end. I love when I learn something new from a quiz that I thought I already knew. Thanks QM!

I couldn't spell joule. I hate it when I know it but just can't spell it. Jool? Joole? Joul? I gave up too soon thinking that must not be the word.

I'm not sure where we're supposed to post our opinions on the new look, so I'll make my comments here. Regarding the new look, I have no problem with any of the changes except the "start quiz" button. It will take time to get used to it, but I'll eventually stop typing madly as soon as the screen changes. My real problem with it, is it gives the cheaters an easy way to look up all the answers before they even begin the quiz. I suspect the stats will really be skewed now.

We can't really police "cheating". The easiest way to cheat is just to open the quiz in another window, hit give up, and then paste all the answers. You're really only cheating yourself.

Nice quiz! I just wanted to point out that "jihad", literally, means "struggle". It does not mean "holy war" nor does it mean "internal struggle". The latter meanings are derived only when "jihad" is used in a sentence, not on its own.

I think that hex is American slang, so a different clue would be helpful. Like others, I've never heard of John used in that context. Maybe more American slang?

I don't like the clue for "jungle." At least where I'm from forests and jungles are two different things.

I thought the same thing; we don't have jungle in the U.S., but we have plenty of forest. I feel like the defining difference is whether it's a tropical area, though I haven't looked up any dictionary definitions to compare.

I think 'impassible' should be changed to something like 'impenetrable'. Impassible means something quite different.
