Nothing sinister. In large families, you sometimes have a male Smith marry a female Jones, and then a female Smith marry a male Jones. In that case, the children are related through both mother's family and father's family. In other words, your mom's brother is your uncle by blood and your uncle by marriage.
Always thought actor Jack Albertson bore a strong resemblance to Einstein. (grandfather from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"; the man from "Chico and the Man")
I mean at first I thought that advanced as an answer was an like an normal adjective for the institute .There are 5 institutes in my area with the same name. But I looked it up on wiki , the one that Einstein attended was really an Iconic one. Great Quiz :P
I'd like quizmakers to stop using the term "Can you guess..." for these quizzes, we're not guessing for most of the answers, if we're getting most of them right we know the answers, therefore there is no guessing involved.
It invites the quiztaker to select the best answer, to accommodate some "I know what you're asking for" logic and to do it in a way that's described by the looseness of the directions. It provides a useful freedom that isn't provided by a strict interpretation of answers as correct, or completely correct.
Of course it doesn't stop nitpicky arguments, but it does provide an accurate and flexible instruction that's more useful than if it invited more strictness, and I prefer it.

Ok
Thank you
Rant over.
