I agree that octopus should be allowed, it's commonly eaten. The fact that the song title isn't referring to it in a culinary context is irrelevant - that's also true of many of the other answers permitted.

RobNobody

Level 76
Oct 15, 2020
Well, it's less "based off of" and more "vaguely inspired by." The similarities between The Snow Queen and Frozen are limited to "woman/supernatural being with cold powers" and "a person getting a shard of magic glass/ice in their eye and heart." If you didn't see the "inspired by" credit, you'd be forgiven for not realizing the stories have anything to do with each other.

I misread the clue as "languages that are at least similar to English". I thought the wording was unusual but I figured you were trying to head off complaints that some of the answers weren't close enough to English to be included. I reread the clue several times and every time my silly brain added "at" to the clue. Needless to say, none of my answers worked and I was totally confused when the answers appeared. Sigh.

Fun grammar lesson: The "vegetable other than broccoli question" (#15) is written incorrectly. By using "which", you are implying that there is one vegetable and it is Brassica oleracea. You need to use "that". It would be best written as "Vegetable other than broccoli that..." or "Vegetable belonging to Brassica oleracea other than broccoli".

98% of them *do* know a five-letter number. You're misreading the stats. Only 2% didn't get that question right, which is almost certainly a representation of people who gave up or something. You only need to get to "three" to find an answer.

Can we maybe have "sprout" instead of having to write out "Brussels sprout"?

I concede that I should have just chosen "cabbage" or something...

And also, while I'm at it, "Cronos" as well as Cronus, as the -us ending is the Latinised version?

Part of it is in the Catholic Bible but it is divided up. We refer to them as Ezra (1 Esdras) and Nehemiah (2 Esdras).

3 and 4 Esdras are sometimes included in the Apocrypha.
