I have to say I was flummoxed by that, primarily because most of the quizzes on jetpunk test knowledge, as do most of the questions here ... whereas this is a logic problem (in my view). When I figured it out, it just seemed to me straight away to be a different class of question. In this context, one assumes ACEG to be some kind of acronym that I was unfamiliar with.
I didn't get it at first and skipped it until last. Luckily I still had enough time to think about it, and then the answer just jumped out at me and seemed so simple. I still managed to finished with 3:09 left. I love analogy quizzes!
I can't say you are wrong, it is a different type of question, but i got it instantly, didn't stop my flow or read any differently. My answer on that onewas as quick as on any of the other ones.
Music theory got me so close to the correct answer. I was thinking 1357 being ACEG spelt the minor seventh chord, so I applied the 2468 formula to the A minor scale (which would be B half diminished, in case someone cares), and it was wrong, but at least it got me thinking when I came back to it later...
Yes, Calamari - and it's not a very good analogy. Beef is english for the meat from a cow - calamari is the italian word for squid, not english for the meat from a squid.
Helps when the movie/series is called Arielle the mermaid (translated back from German). My favorite as a kid was a different animated movie called The Little Mermaid though. She had a dolphin named Bink. I was crazy about dolphins back then.
Halal vs haram are to Islam, as kosher vs treyf is to Judaism. Hopefully your kebab provider knows whether his food is halal, but doesn't need to consider kashrut.
I've definitely heard murder before, for apple I was thinking of york but didn't try it for some reason, and I don't know a lot about books of the Bible
Not a "Harry Potter person" at all, but I easily got the answer. I don't know if it's because of the ubiquity of the series in the culture, or from numerous JetPunk quizzes, or the question being a pretty easy one.
If you could just change Orleans to "New Orleans" and York to "New York", you would make the quiz a bit more accessible to people who aren't from the USA. I am not saying that is not correct, but for some people Orleans is a city in France and York is a city in the UK.
I have a hunch that Americans also know that Orleans is a city in France and York is a city in England. It's just a way to make the quiz more interesting, or perhaps the row shorter.
The probability of mentioning the french city of Orleans or referring to Joan of Arc in an american quiz about analogies is very low, compared to referring to New Orleans with the prefix New removed. So the answer had to follow the same pattern.
"Apple/New ____" is then easier to guess.
I'm French and didn't know New Orleans' nickname, but the fact the prefix "New" is not mentioned is precisely the reason why I could guess the answer.
17/20. Only ones I didn't get were Arabic, squid, and The Police. Also, I kept trying New York for the apple question until I realized I could just type York.
But, seriously, teeth are not bones.
There's a word you don't hear often. Good one.
All jokes aside, the Harry Potter universe is so... universal (for lack of a better word) that I see it totally as fair game
Got there eventually, by typing characters from Harry Potter with long names.
