Seriously, people, he didn't ask WHERE you got it, he asked IF you got it from Percy Jackson, which I halfway did, so technically, I am the only one who even belongs on this list.

the long list of people indicates the folly of his reasoning, that it's not just percy jackson, but any of a dozen other reasons to know phalanx

Perhaps, but the point is that he wanted to know who got it from Percy Jackson. He very well knew that it can be known from other places, but he wanted to know how many people got it where he did. There is no folly in his reasoning. There is, however, in yours.

Me, too. I eventually got physician, but Ph. D does fit all the criteria. Also for Typhoon, I would specify Western Pacific, as tropical cyclones in the Central and Eastern Pacific are also called Hurricanes.

no aphrodisiac is something (that you ingest) that makes you aroused. Pheromes are a natural thing and is (not so much in humans anymore) used in finding a mate, and can tell if they are suitable or not, so that healthy offspring s produced

I mixed up seraphim and nephilim and first tried sephilim (various spellings) then realized I meant nephilim, surprised it didnt work. What is the difference between them? And nephilim wouldnt fit the clue? Was proud enough that I knew that difficult word, but the exact meaning and difference between classes I dont know ( and it changes drastically through the centuries,) eventhough I think I once looked up the etymology for some of them
Sifhraven

apparently nephilim means the fallen ones, and seraphim means the burning ones or serpents. All sounds very angelic doesnt it ;) (I remembered as much, hence my previous comment that the meaning of the word took on a different direction through the ages, as it does with most words.) (Like lucifer means lightbringer but is now synonymous with evil and more associated with darkness)
