The correct spelling for Auto Mausoleum isn't accepted, had to spell it without the u to make it work.

To be honest, the only reason I know of Blanka is because of the Death Battle between Blanka and Pikachu.

Although some people call her Liz, Taylor is much more called Elizabeth. How about, "Fashion designer Claiborne" to remove the ambiguity?

I have no idea who Liz Claiborne is. I did have a little trouble with Liz Taylor, but honestly, I automatically thought of her as Liz, but then thought, oh, they'd be going by Elizabeth... but then looked at that other part of the clue and got it.

Elizabeth Bun is nice this time of year.

Take away from this quiz: Now you've learned something. Liz is short for Elizabeth.

Grrrr... apparently it's not spelled "Ankora."

as a non native, it was hard to understand what you meant with 'ender'. It seemed to me as 'gerund/superlative of "Ender"' which makes little sense. Maybe rephrase as 'ending of a superlative'?

"Suffix" is the proper term.

I had the same problem as effeietsanders. Only by getting one of the answers *despite* the clue, I understood what "ender" is supposed to mean. "Suffix" would indeed make the hint more clear.

Perhaps I'm being too literal, but "casa" is house. "Hogar" is home. I was wracking my brains out trying to think of a city that started with Hogar or Ogar (since the H is silent).

Because the damn Aussies insist on pronouncing things funny, there are problems with both of your Australian city clues. Melbourne is pronounced "mel-burn" like the injury from fire, not like Jason's last name. And the second vowel in Brisbane is a schwa (ə), not a long a. FYI.

Actually, I'd say Melbourne is a schwa as well.

They are similar: pronounced Mel-bun and Bris-ban; in both cases, the emphasis is on the first syllable

Fun quiz. Got 'em all, but Calgary and Havana I only got from half the clue ('Gary' and 'Ha'). I think you've got one too many syllables there in Tokyo, but maybe that's me being pedantic.

I did this quiz for the second time exactly 5 years after the first try and I got 5 more answers. With this pace maybe in further 5 years I'll actually get to 100%.

IPO Offering would be Initial Public Offering Offering. I think the clue is good as is, but this seems funny to me.
