First time I've ever heard that word. Cursed word kept me from getting 100%, but at least I learned something. Just a shame that I have the memory of a goldfish. :-P
I find them both weird, I guess lard is kept in a larder and pants in a pantry :D
(In a lot of houses here we call it a cellar (kelder), but it nothing like a basement or something, just a small space under the stairs, which does go a bit below floor level (like knee deep), a tiny stair/ladder with 2 steps. But hardly anyone steps down, cause stuff is mostly up on the shelves)
Given that Hawaii is approximately 12,000km from me, it's amazing that I actually know two 'L' words pertaining to Hawaii - Luau and Lei. Unfortunately the quiz asks for a third.
I'm American and I'd never heard the word until we went to Kaua'i and spent every morning eating breakfast on the one outside our condo. One can build a similar porch, deck, terrace, or veranda on the mainland, but it just doesn't seem the same as a lanai in Hawaii.
Some made me think, but still got 'em all with 3:25 left. (Finally! This is the fifth quiz I've taken today, and the first in which I scored over 50%.)
Can locker be an acceptable answer for a pantry? Not exactly the same but a lot more common and less archaic than the answer. I've heard the term food locker a lot more than I have the other one.
So did I. I know in Scotland the first golf started in the middle of my city and not near the sea, shores of an old loch though. It sort of makes sense since lots of Scotland is near the coast with sand and St Andrews is definitely by the sea. Links, apparently is a type of land, upon which golf became most played.
Sometimes the word links is used as a general term, but there is a real difference between links golf and parkland golf. Parkland courses are the ones that are carefully manicured with artificial bunkers and water features, and the only changes from one day to the next come from placement of the cups on the greens. Players can develop a strategy for each hole. Links courses are usually near the ocean with undulating dunes, wind, and natural vegetation but few trees, and the course isn't so immaculately groomed as a parkland course. Because weather can change the shape of the course, it isn't as easy to develop a regular strategy for play from one week to the next.

It would probably also help if I knew much of anything about golf :)
