My first thought was fart* and actually tried it haha.

* And please don't say something silly like "well that would be wrong anyway because that doesn't end with a w and "farw" doesn't exist".

I obviously was on that question and not yet on the questions that come later. (When I did skip and continued the w from the next question did immediately lead me to flow)

Rand got me too. I finished the rest of the quiz, so I knew it started with an "r" and ended with a "d". Tried a whole bunch of middle letters until I hit upon it! Fun quiz!

It's an allusion to wartime pilots trying to make it back home with a damaged plane, maybe one wing hanging by a thread or propellers not working...so, on a wing and a prayer.

I am tempted to argue that "expert" is not the primary meaning of the word "guru" - that would be "leader", "master", "teacher". The meaning "expert" is secondarily acquired, I would say...

I agree. I think guru is more of a guide (spiritual or not) or perhaps a mentor. (Sharing their life-lessons)

"Guru" is commonly used in the US as someone you seek out whose knowledge of a subject transcends your own, an expert. Car gurus, computer gurus, network gurus, etc.

...guru definitely not an expert in the uk, neither do we give coal to naughty children (don't give it to good ones either as it is a fossil fuel and not eco!)...not sure why imac is an apple offering, could have been ipad...

Aug 18, 2018
No one REALLY gives coal to children, it's just part of the Santa story. I mean, maybe some people did way back in the day, but not now certainly. As for iPad, it doesn't end in "c" to loop back to the beginning of the quiz.

Waaaait, these chain quizzes link the last word back to the first? I never realized that, and it didn't matter until I also tried iPad over and over again. The rules don't say it loops back...

The clue for guru needs to be changed, that's just not really what the word means. And while it looks like most people got it, there has to be a better clue for fast, right? I kept trying to think of words that meant non-food, or decorative food that isn't meant to be eaten.

Might technically be correct, and at one point maybe the word "guru" was used to mean "expert", but that is extremely outdated. Oddizzy is absolutely right, that was a TERRIBLE clue for the word "guru".

Yeah, let's change all quizzes so that you can answer the questions. On the other hand, why not allow the QM to leave the questions which are perfectly acceptable as they are, and just go and learn more stuff yourself.

I'm not sure we're reading the same comment. Nowhere in there does oddizzy complain about not knowing answers. The guru clue is not quite correct and the wording in the fast clue threw me off as well. I got both, so I clearly knew the answers, but I would agree that the clues could use revision.

Technically, O'ahu is a 5 letter word. This is because in the Hawaiian language, the apostrophe is considered to be a letter, known as an 'okina, which technically makes "O'ahu" 5 letters long.
