Thank you for great quiz-questions!

Before this I have seen in all Jetpunk quizzes "Nizhnyi Novgorod". Now that I after quiz searched Google, I was thinking Mandela Effect, because -i seems to be vanished. (Actually it is there, but the one without -i is much more common and Google automatically corrects, did I mean it.)

I am not a native speaker, so I don't know the right spelling, but Nizhny feels much better.

Interesting! I haven't seen it spelled Nizhnyi before, but now that you point it out, I see a few places online that spell it that way! I think Nizhny is generally considered the "correct" spelling but I will add the other one as an accepted type-in :)

If anyone has ideas for more guessable answers for J, M, O, X, or Y I'd love to hear them. These were the best I was able to find, but I may have missed some less obscure ones!
