"Strait" and "Lithuania" are misspelt. "(The) Chamber of Secrets" should probably work with or without the "of" (currently only works without it).

Cool quiz 👍🏻

I didn't recognise The Sorcerer's Stone as the first book in the series though - I've never seen that title before!

It's the US title for The Philosopher's Stone.

Level 70
Jun 23, 2021
I think it should be changed to philosopher's stone as that is the official title of the book

Agreed. I haven't ever read it but it seems strange not to use the original name of the book

Or give us "Chamber of Secrets" and "Goblet of Fire", and make us guess "Prizoner of Azkhaban". (Or any other combination of the seven.)

Delta Epsilon Zeta?! is that a well known thing? I've never heard of it before

It's all Greek to me

Level 45

Yes. Its a well known thing. They are the letters of the Greek alphabet most commonly used to name University sororities and fraternities. They are also widely used in mathematics, science, engineering, etc

The complete alphabet is: alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa, lambda, mu, nu, xi, omicron, pi, rho, sigma, tau, upsilon, phi, chi, psi, omega

Possibly most commonly used by Greek people, to speak Greek ;)

I got it just by guessing the letters one by one.

I guess I'll take your word for it, but a quick google search of those three didn't turn up anything other than that particular Greek organization. Also, surely pi and theta and others are very common in math and related disciplines as well?

I don't think the claim is that the specific triple of Delta+Epsilon+Zeta refers to anything particularly well known.

Rather just that those are the order that those three appear in the alphabet. So given δ and ζ, the one that comes sequentially between them (i.e.: "in the middle") is ε.

Like in the Latin alphabet, if one were given D and F, then the one in the middle would have to be E, because that's the sequence. Not because the triple D+E+F necessarily refers to anything particular in isolation.

I would be really interested to see the statistics of people off the street taking this quiz. Love how Jetpunk users foud Latvia and Nicaragua easier than Lettuce.

Level 62
Jul 11, 2021
Yeah, but the location of Latvia and Nicaragua are global facts. The lettuce thing must be some cultural thing because I still have no idea what the order bacon-lettuce-tomato represents. Never eaten those three things at the same time (unless perhaps in a hamburger).

It's a type of sandwich, usually referred to as a BLT

I kept trying "salad" instead of "lettuce", because I knew what is in this kind of sandwich, but english's not my first language and "salade" is way more current than "laitue" in french

Isn't the middle one of the three wise monkeys "hear no evil"?
+5
Level 67
Jul 11, 2021
I always heard it as "hear no, see no, speak no evil," which is still different than the quiz's order, but it's apparent from the question what the answer should be, so I think it's all good.

That's… not in a BLT. Salad isn't equal to lettuce anyhow.
