Atlanta is the busiest individual airport, but the clue asks for the city with the busiest airport system. London has 6 international airports. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airports_of_London

Good call filling in the answer as soon as you've typed 'Leonardo'. "The Da Vinci Code" is nonsense - for many reasons - in this case because nobody in the art world calls him anything other than just Leonardo.

The main character wasn't "in the art world." He was a professor of religious iconology.

It is definitely incorrect to just call him "da Vinci," but it is also definitely the more common name, so I think people would have a strong case in arguing for it. Good on the quizmaster for allowing both! The world we live in!

The royals used to keep going until they had at least two sons - the heir and the spare - so William and Kate are just continuing the tradition. BTW, some of my favorite people have three children, including me.

On the other hand, they changed the inheritance law so technically Charlotte is the spare.

It's called both. Some will say that it's the Union Jack at sea, the Union Flag on land, but that's not actually true.

You're trying to tell me that 79% of users know that you call a baby kangaroo an effin Joey? Come on!? Never effin heard of that and I've asked 7 people and nobody knew. Not buying that for a second.

Great quiz but there is one small error. The Last Supper is not a fresco. It was painted with tempera paint which is why it has not held up well and most of the original painting is now gone. There is a fresco painting by Giovanni Donato on the opposite side of the church (Santa Maria delle Grazie) and because it is a fresco, it has held up remarkably well.
