That 's a weird reason. If I like it I like it and if I don't I don't . Im not gonna let what I like depend on other people.

"Ooo I like this :)" "I like it too" "Well then now I don't like it anymore.. "

What I don't like isn't the quiz. It's that people are getting easy features out of quizzes that take like 15 minutes to make. Some people spend months on a map only for it to not get as much recognition as these quizzes.

Well, it doesn't takes 10 minutes to make. You have to research to make a quiz like this

It's absurd to go around and judge features by time or quiz morality. The quizzes are still good, and that's what matters.

Right now, #14 is easy, what with all the trailers.

#14 is easy if you fondly remember plastic soldiers and tanks being melted and a Barbie doll slowly pulled down through a stuffed monkey paw to "escape" like Fay Wray.

to assume the traditional Jetpunk role of pedant, the current ads show that assertion 14 is now false. There's no longer one movie where they fight.

Not as many spectators though. It's a vague question though, not clear how it is being measured.

The comment in 15 is wrong. The Japanese government does not track ethnicity among its citizens, so Okinawans, Ainu, people of mixed ancestry, naturalised citizens and so on are not tabulated. Japan is more diverse than many people think.

The Ainu make up only roughly 0.16% of the Japanese population, and that's being generous. The vast majority of Japanese people of identify just as Japanese because the other indigenous groups in Japan have been almost entirely assimilated. In terms of ethnicity, Japan is definitely comparatively homogeneous.

Bonus round - Some restaurants in Japan offer to eat sushi on the body of a naked woman

Answer : Although widely promoted as "traditional japanese culture" by occidentals (especially Hollywood movies), "nyotaimori" is very uncommon in Japan, the only few occurences being illegal due to sanitary and ethical laws.

"There apparently was one nyotaimori establishment in Shinjuku's red light district during the late 1990s [...] It soon closed before health officials could shutter the establishment." (source)

Never heard of that, sounds more like an American thing, like bodyshots. Well besides that it is sushi

I'm not Japanese (not even Asian) but I got 15/15. Half of them were random or educated guesses.
