Stonehenge represents the roots of advanced civilization for England, therefore it’s a clear symbol for England as a nation.

The Galapagos, on the other hand, are territorially and culturally just a secondary part of Ecuador as a country and nation. If a symbol for anything, giant turtles, climate change, theory of evolution, Charles Darwin, biology or English scientific contribution to the world come to mind, not Ecuador.

No, I draw the line on that one. The Galapagos Islands are not a country. You didn't say "name the country that these islands belong to", you implied that the islands were a country. I mentally went through the list of all island nations and East Timor is the only one. I tried Equatorial Guinea just to be safe. There is no other country starting with E that has any significant portion of its landmass on islands. If the islands aren't a country -- contrary to the hint -- then they could belong to any country that has water -- even landlocked countries (that could be a lake). The hint is too misleading.

You could go with "partial country" perhaps, but the Galapagos have not evolved into a country. Look at the levels of the people complaining about this. We are not newbies. There is a certain syntax we have grown used to from the site, this clue does not fit. We have high expectations of consistency for all the money we pay for this site.

Now can we go back to debating whether Cyprus is part of South America with trade ties to Antarctica?

It is a sneaky clue. I got it, but only cos I recognised the islands and knew what country they belong to. One of those that requires a bit of lateral thinking, the type I normally don't get.

The only way I got it was by typing every "e" country I could think of. While typing Ecuador I thought, "That's silly," but typed it anyway to get through the list. It does seem like a "gotcha" clue, but at least I got it correct, unlike the former capital one. I couldn't figure out why East Germany wasn't accepted, and gave up and went on. Duh.

Amazing. It looks like whining from beginners but no. With 3 clues it really shouldn't be a problem (first letter, country, image). After doing many other geography quizzes this was an easy one for me. The islands don't look like any country, starting with E or not, then you try E- countries with famous archipelagi and you get the answer. Besides the shape of Galapagos is quite distinct.

IMO, the clue is fine, and is 100% exactly parallel with the sphinx/pyramid clue, where you're provided with the hint "country" and then an image of, not the entire country, but rather something within that country.

The Galapagos Islands are a notable part of Ecuador just as the sphinx/pyramids are a notable part of Egypt. Yet nobody's complaining about that clue. Probably because, unlike Ecuador, they got that one.

After I quickly eliminated East Timor, Eastern Caribbean States, etc., I thought of "E" countries. And as soon as I thought of "Ecuador", I thought, "Aha! Those are the Galapagos Islands!" *BING!* And I moved on, not giving it a 2nd thought until I discovered this tempest in the teapot in the Comments section.

I actually agree with Quizmaster on this one, I thought the clue was perfect. The 3 clues immediately preceding it had shown even smaller sections of their countries/cities, so I think the clue was even telescoped well. Now, if the image was a blue outline, a la Estonia's clue, that would be misleading, but this image is fine.

Agree with the above comments re: Ecuador. If you were to show a picture more obviously of the Galapagos, e.g. some iguanas and finches on a beach, that would make sense. The satellite photo is misleading.

Bonn is a city of 300 000 far in the west of Germany, just south of Cologne on the Rhine, and the birth place of Ludwig van Beethoven. (just kidding, actually Bonn is the capital of Berlin, Cologne is the name of a fashion quarter in Paris, and Beethoven was born in Vienna, son to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)

I think Carry has a point, and the answer bothers me somewhat, as the GDR did not consider East Berlin, but the whole of Berlin as its capital. I can't think of a good fix for this, but that doesn't mean the comment must be dismissed out of hand.

Extremely peevish and immature moderating by the Quizmaster. Sarcastic comments and threats of removal or deletion over very, very on-point remarks about the (in my opinion) poor 'Ecuador' clue....leave a bad taste after what's meant to be a fun challenge.

Show Puerto Rico, label it 'country' and have USA as answer and so on and so forth. It stretches reasonableness (imho).

Try dealing with whining complaints on THOUSANDS of quizzes, day after day, many of which are just plain empty-headed, with scant expressions of gratitude, and you might get a little feisty now and then about your website, even if a particular complaint may seem to have some validity.

Instead of complaining, why not go click on an ad to help ensure we have something to gripe & moan about 6 months from now?

Galapagos Islands simply aren't a symbol of Ecuador. They should be under 'G'. In fact, they are under 'G', which is embarrassing for relessness and QM.

It's not about how much of a % of the country is shown in the picture, it's about whether the picture is representative of its intended answer.

1 star, and I expect to receive a full refund of my subscription at the earliest opportunity. I have instructed my lawyers to pursue the inconvenience through all available legal channels.
