Shapes and Symbols Quiz

Same here.

I now know about 100 wrong ways to spell that word!

I just typed in Hermes and it gave it to me. It must have become very forgiving.

The only one I couldn't get was the fricking Jesus Fish. I see it all the time, but I always assumed it just meant "Christianity".

That's only because we colliqually call a tetragon, a "square". But a tetragon would make sense.

五角形，六角形，七角形，八角形...

I used to think that skull thing meant 'danger'

I was surprised that "mobius strip" was not accepted for the infinity symbol.

A true mobius has one surface and one edge, which is different from the infinity symbol.

Hammer and Sickle....seems obvious. And yet.....I didn't know it.

Please include totenkopf for skull and crossbones?

Should put feet on that fish and see how many get it right then.

Yeah, not accepting "medicine", "medical", "doctor", "physician", "medic" (all of which I tried), etc., doesn't really make any sense, since the other accepted answers for the more abstracted symbols are what the symbol *represents*, not what the symbol *is*.

Ah, I gotcha! I didn't even know the difference between the caduceus and the Rod of Asclepius for the exact reason you said, Walacama: in the US there is SUCH widespread misuse of the caduceus, that the Rod of Asclepius – the CORRECT symbol for medical uses – looks completely unfamiliar to me! I'm going to start Twitter-shaming places like those 24-hour urgent care chains who are misusing the caduceus on their web sites. Thanks for the education, Quizmaster and commenters!!

I literally typed in "Jesus", and then "Fish", but didn't think that Jesus Fish was the actual term. *facedesk*

You stole my Jesus Fish

It isnt

Wish I could spell caduceus right...

Great quiz! Can anyone tell me how to make a quiz with pictures??

I'm from china and I got them all

That infinity symbol isn't called that but called the lemniscate. The lemniscate is used as a symbol for infinity. At the very least, the word "lemniscate" should be accepted as an answer also.

this was fun!

Fun little quiz, though maybe not the most challenging thing in the world. Fleur-de-lis was a good addition, Ichthys and Caduceus, too. Is there a more difficult version?

Anyone else type communism ? cuz I did ;)

HAHA

That is one s too many

I knew it was twelve and something with deca. Bi deca flashed through my head haha i knew that wasnt it but couldnt think of the right word.

Nah. If you were to accept polyhedron, you would also have to accept polygon for hexagon, octagon, and trapezoid.

true but if Jesus fish is accepted for Ichthys then simpler names should be put for the more difficult ones for example I put female for the Venus Symbol so I think POLYHEDRON should be acceptable yet I didn't make the quiz so all I can give are suggestions

A little lenience for Ichthys?

penny in the air

There is no cross in it though

Hermes carried it but called a caduceus

I thought it was Hammer and Scythe. Isn't a scythe the same thing? Also I put Red Crescent, thinking you meant the equivalent of the Red Cross. If you just want crescent could you change the colour please?

Agreed. I tried "Hammer and Scythe" and couldn't figure out why it wasn't accepted. It should be IMO. (I guess they're slightly different tools, but still...)

I tried Christian fish

When I saw Jesus Fish, all I could think of was Thanos Car.

"Red Crescent" not accepted? You don't call the Red Cross just Cross, do you?

A crescent is a crescent. Apparently reading your and one other comment there is something called specifically red crescent, but that is not the only crescent out there. (Like heart is probably used for many things, the symbol is still a heart though)

I couldn't for the life of me think of what to call "Jesus fish" :|
