I kept thinking of the phrase, "I'd rather be dead than red." Guess my mind was on politics, not bodies of water!

Eton is not a prep school. It's a Public secondary school. Prep(aratory) schools are for kids under 13.

Yes, Eton is a college for boys aged 13-18. Fees can be over £30,000 a year but some are given grants towards this. There are many optional charges costing hundreds of pounds for extra tuition.

Thanks for the clarification: I confused it with the US usage, strangely. I've submitted a change.

Are you sure Omenistan isn't a significant world location?! ;) I love these quizzes!

Eton is in the UK a 'public' school (i.e. 'independent' not state school) for 13-18 year olds. It is not a 'prep' school which takes children up to 13.

The "Ont." question is very bad. Both the answer and the definition are obscure. You should do better! :P

The clue is not bad, it's just a little cryptic. It's perfectly clear for the people who get it; sorry you weren't one of them!

I was desperately trying to find an abbreviation for Staten Island that would work (STA, STI, SI) since it's one of the five boroughs along with Que - Queens and Man - Manhattan. Needed to head a few miles north.

Right! - Strange abbreviations. I thought it was new way of shortening Queens and Manhattan (boroughs in NYC). Never thought of Canada.

'Significant world location'. Let's see. New York, Tokyo, Beijing, Delhi, Moscow, Shanghai, Rio, LA, London, Paris, Casablanca, Istanbul, Rome, San Francisco, Toronto, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Mexico City, Havana, Tehran, Kingston, Lima, Sydney, Melbourne, Jakarta, Madrid, Lake Victoria, Mount Everest, Niagara Falls, Angkor Wat, etc. ad infinitum, but you use this description for Minnesota! Just as well I have a sense of humour.

That actually threw me off - having read that description, I was searching for anything globally significant, from an important religious site to a capital city.

Significant in size/known. Not as in bringing something important to the table.

Things can be significant without being significant. Hard to miss, but not significant in others ways.

I meant in general, nothing direct to minnesota specifically ;)

Seam should be allowed for coal or gold source I think. It's arguably the better answer, given that gold and coal seams are actual sources that mines exploit.

I instantly saw the 9 letter answer. But Don't care much for the que. man. clue. Not because I didnt get it, cause usually I am the other way around, I like to be surprised and see things brought in clever new ways. But this one. I don't know. Just don't like it at all. Maybe it is the points/dots. Or something about how the question was set up and not the idea itself.

Anyway also missed nest, I think I would ve stand a better chance without hitler in front of it, no idea where it was going and the 's 's's were throwing me a bit. (might be a language barrier things, but that is a mind twister to me hah, something like "your brother's sister's nephew's husband's kid ran into my wife's mother's sister's dog yesterday. Then yea.. you ve lost me haha) What is the what of what??

(I really had to go like, ok there is hitler, he "has" an eagle, so "his eagle", and he has something... so the ___ of his eagle...)

Got the rest though :)
