I initially guessed "hippocampus" for the equestrian clue, oops. That's what happens when it comes directly after a bunch of mythology questions, I guess.

Hippocampus is the scientific name for the actual seahorse (and part of the brain named after it). So eventhough you had the mythological version in mind, what you typed is technically a correct answer and should have been accepted.

same here, didn't even know for "sea horse"... happy we share the frustration

same here.

And then I couldn't remember the English name even though it's a direct translation from my language.

Yes! That was my initial thought as well.

Pretty sure there are also country shapes under the sea

Yeah. I can't wait for the updated "Countries of the World" quiz with the 196 land-based countries plus all of the countries on the sea bed.

You consider me the young apprentice,

Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes,

Hypnotized by you if I should linger,

Staring at the ring around your finger.

Thanks for the point, Sting!

That's how i was getting there but i couldn't remember the lyric. And when i finally landed on Scylla, i couldn't spell it so i thought i was wrong. Dang it.

Tried Costeau, Custeau, Costua, Costeaux, Custeaux, Costeu, Custeux,...

Could you please accept a few more spellings? :)

Seconded. Even Googled him mid quiz to check the spelling (I didn’t have the middle part of his name in) but still no luck

In French, there is only one way to write the sound [u] : ou.

I never saw Percy Jackson blowing on a conch...

Level 56
Jul 11, 2020
That's in the R rated version. ;)

Percy was all I could think of when it came to sons of Poseidon, too. Well, Tyson too but that was also obviously not the answer.

For the deepest point on the seabed where the clue was ___ Deep, all my brain wanted to supply was Helm's. Doh.

I got stuck with "Helms Deep" in my head as well.

Got my cephalapods and cetaceans mixed up, spent way too long guessing types of dolphins...

Clue should read "Giant squid-like *CREATURE* of Scandinavian folklore"

Please tell me i was not the only one to try "hippocampus" for the equestrian question.

If you had read the very first comment under this quiz, you'd have seen, that indeed you're not the only one.

Don't think that RMS Titanic lives under water.

It does because it still lays beneath where it sank

Spongebob?

I am pretty sure that krakens were originally crab-like, but only then the pop culture changed them to squid-like. Correct me if I'm wrong

Kelpie for sea horse?
+2
Level 79
Jul 25, 2020
I believe that kelpies were supposed to be creatures that inhabited water inland, rather than the sea.

Aren't sirens the same as mermaids? I was surprised when it was not accepted. (Still got mermaid right, but my French-speaking brain went straight for the other name first.)
+2
Level 77
Mar 18, 2021
Sirens and mermaids are not the same. Sirens sing a song to lure sailors to their deaths and were around in ancient Greek mythology. They are sometimes depicted as mermaids, but have also been depicted as half bird people, too. As far as I know, the mermaid is from various cultures and does not necessarily sing.
+1

Kelpie should definitely count for the submerged 'equestrian'!

The quiz is called things that live under the sea. How do stuff like atlantis live under the sea when their not alive?

Level 63
Aug 12, 2020
yeah, my concern too. change the name of the quiz to "Things Under the Sea" the title would be more accurate then

I think it's OK to say that a non-living object lives in a specific place. For instance, if a guest asks me where I keep my coffee mugs, then I might respond that mugs live in the cupboard above the stove. It's a more interesting title for the quiz and gets the point across.

I mean..., I did try him for Poseidon's son. I knew I was wrong but I didn't have any other answer to give.

Fun quiz. Could you please accept "siren" for mermaid and "hippocampus" for sea horse? Those are the words I generally use for those meanings.
+2
Level 66

I think that a siren and mermaid are different beings

Can you accept Akula or Typhoon for Red October? Those are the russian or NATO names for the class of submarine.

I know Red October is theoretically a new class of it's own, it's just a suggestion because i wasted far too much time until my brain finally remembered that the submarine has a name, haha.

SpongeBob SquarePants!
