I would think "Olympic terrorism" is the bigger clue here to Munich....

the bigger clue than one of the biggest car producers in the world? May I refer: Germany = violence = N*ZI?!?!?!? Please!!! Oh, and we would have to add "Bratwurst" and Sauerkraut", of course! -_-

Yes, definitely for a cultured person (not sh*ting on car people, I'm one of them). There are a lot of cities known for car manufacturing. There is only one city where "olympic terrorism" ocured.

Should allow Ragusa as an alternative name of Dubrovnik.
+5
Level 69
Mar 5, 2016
Obviously it's up to each quizmaster, but generally only common and/or current names for places are accepted. Dubrovnik (along with the rest of Croatia, especially coastal) has been under so many different rulerships, that it has had way too many former names. It hasn't been Ragusa since WW I, and I've never heard it used interchangeably for Dubrovnik (not even the summer I was there). (Long-lasting of course was the independent city-state, the Republic of Ragusa, but that spanned an area larger than just Dubrovnik).

Well, would you accept Leningrad for St. Petersburg?

No, but I find Petrograd frequently accepted for some reason.

Why Bruxelles instead of Brussels isn't valid??!

Tell me, who calls it Bruxelles who actually speaks English? Just say the obvious answer, it's not hard

I'm all for accepting answers in English and the relevant native language, and I really don't understand some people who aggressively insist that only the English answer should ever be valid. What does it take away from you if we also accept "Bruxelles"?

Level 77

I'm all for accepting answers in the native language and forget the faintly ridiculous idea of "translating" them into English.
+1
Level 82
Jan 17, 2022
It takes nothing away but it does add increased work for the quiz maker who will then be under pressure to include type-ins for every other language.
+2

It's also not ridiculous to use English on English-language quizzes on a primarily English-language website. Though I'm also not against accepting "Bruxelles," it's kind of ridiculous to assert otherwise. Would it make sense to accept all of the English-language names for answers on the French-language version of these quizzes?
+1
Level 43
Feb 4, 2023
Yes they very obviously should accept the english names in french quizzes, just like they should always accept them in all languages in all quizzes.

I prefer Oktoberfest over Olympic Terrorism for München. I think a lot of people did not even hear about the Olympic terror thing.

Yes, the Olympic attack was the giveaway clue. Do please keep this rather than have us guess random car manufacturing HQs.

Would be nice to see some love for other European countries (17/22 in 'Western Europe'). This lopsidedness makes the quiz unnecessarily easy. Some ideas: Sarajevo, Istanbul, Valletta, Pilsen, Warsaw...
