A bit more challenging than the first one. I love that you included the last book by Frank McCourt. It gave me most trouble.

Happy to see Angela's Ashes and Pippi Longstocking. A nice change from the usual fare. Got 'em all with 2:08 left. Lord of the Flies threw me for a moment. Kept trying to figure out how Superman could travel with rings.

Did the same thing, for more than a moment. The sad thing is that "Lord of the Rings" isn't even the title of a book.

Emm... "The Lord of the Rings" is the name of a book. Tolkien wrote it as a single book, intended it to be published in a single volume, and has been published this way in multiple occasions.

It wasn't asking which stock exchange. The answer isn't a stock exchange.

Only one stock exchange usually associated with the street where it is found.

Which type of sea bird? There are more than one.

Which biblical king? There is more than one.

What alternative to coffee? There are many.

Which Watson? There are several such actresses.

Nowhere in here is the claim made that any of these questions, on its own, implies a unique answer.

Whether or not they’re officially classified as sea birds, pretty much everyone calls them “sea gulls” which would make the clue just fine.

I really liked this quiz, but I think that it would be even better if you allowed more time because I had to complete it in two plays and still then didn't finish. I like to sit and think about what the answer could be.

The queen's husband isn't a king. He'd be a prince. There's only ever one queen or one king, you can't have both

Level 61
Sep 6, 2022
If the king is the monarch his spouse is called the queen, if the queen is the monarch then her spouse won't be a king. I agree though the clue could be better phrased.

I just did and it said that 'so' and 'sol' are both used for the name of the note. More famously, 'so' is the one used in the Sound of Music song
