No. Bolton does not "have" a palindrome. Palindromes are words or phrases that read the same forwards and backwards. Notlob is just Bolton backwards. "Bolton notlob" would be a palindrome, though a pretty terrible one.

Interesting that so many knew Bruges, but so few got Switzerland. I didn't know it was the answer, but given its history of never aligning itself with anything, it was my first guess.

I'd guess that many people assume Switzerland is part of the UN because there are many international headquarters located in Geneva, including many UN agencies.

The Raven is awesome! It's possibly the only poem I know by heart, which is weird because it's so long---takes 15 minutes to recite it. On the other hand that's very handy: if I don't see the time (like when swimming), I can measure 15 mins by reciting The Raven in my head.

According to Wikipedia, the main ingredients of Nutella are sugar and palm oil. And although the ingredients appear to vary somewhat from country to country, there seems to be about as much cocoa as milk. (In Italy, it's "fat-reduced cocoa powder (7.4%), skimmed milk powder (5%)".)

ANOTHER question about nutella. I haven't counted because I also have a life but I swear there are at least 5 I've come across in these general quizzes so far. Also a bunch on Marilyn Monroe and Dracula. I'm not complaining exactly since I can get those answers right.

This is slightly old data, but there are 48 instances with Mercury and another 14 with Freddy Mercury across all featured quizzes. Mercury could be the element, planet, or Freddy Mercury's last name, so the high number isn't too surprising.

For comparison, Nutella is under 11, Marilyn Monroe is 35, and Dracula is 14.
