I’d argue with the Titanic question being easy. Me being a 12 year old kid (and a lot of JetPunkers being younger), we couldn’t care less about actors and whatnot so wouldn’t know anything about them.
Eh, I’ve never seen Titanic and I still got it. There’s always going to be a group who doesn’t know the answers to certain questions, but for the general population I’d say it’s pretty easy.
It's still pretty easy, being one of the most famous and influential movies of all time. Just because you can't get it immediately doesn't mean it's not easy.
If Leo was a one-off actor who hadn't been in much since I could understand that. But he has been in a bunch of famous movies since then. But yeah it's the kind of cultural thing that gets stuck in your head if you were say, 11 when it came out.
Lol in what world does June rhyme with moon? It's the only question I didn't get. I am Dutch, speak English fluently and there is no way that the correct pronounciation of dune rhymes with moon.
As a native English speaker, they certainly rhyme in the correct pronunciation in North America (where this website and many of its users are from). It's valid to note that it might not rhyme for all dialects, but to disregard those where it does rhyme, and claiming to know more than native speakers is quite pretentious
Yes, while the intial vowel is different in British English (/dʒ/ not /d/, the vowel sound is still the same (/uː/), so it's a rhyme, while perhaps seeming less obviously one.
I was thinking of words that ended in 'oon', but the only one that had remotely to do with sand was 'lagoon'. Of course it didn't work. Never occurred to me that the rhyme could be spelled differently.
I don't have a phonetic keyboard so I can't give you the IPA transliterations, but dune (pronounced something like djyoon) definitely doesn't rhyme with moon in British English
I think it depends on context. In casual speech and in some rule books, "piece" is used syonymously with "chessman" and refers to any figure on the board, pawns included.
But in the context of official play and commentary on official play, a "piece" is understood as anything other than a pawn. A minor piece is a knight or a bishop, while a major piece is a queen or a rook. For example, among chess players, "winning a piece" would only mean winning something more valuable than a pawn, whereas winning a pawn would be described as simply "winning a pawn".
If you're going to assert something is wrong on a technicality, you should really make an effort to support your assertion. I'd genuinely like to know what the issue is.
According to the Wikipedia article on "Chess pieces", there are multiple definitions for the phrase. One is just an indicator for any "chessman" on the board, and another (most commonly used during play or when discussing games/theory) indicates any of the chessmen on the board that aren't pawns. So the original commenter is right in some contexts, but wrong in this one.
From the sounds of it, most people here are just learning that Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo Nazario are different people, so you're ahead of the curve
I've heard "Ronaldo" more for Cristiano, and when googling it he's the first one to show up. I guess Ronaldinho being there was supposed to make it obvious.
I came here to say this! even if it's a different Ronaldo, for an "easy" quiz, most people are going to think of Cristiano Ronaldo, not Ronaldo Luis Nazario. I get what Quizmaster is going for, but it does require a bit more specialized knowledge than common knowledge. Then again, I got it right, so maybe I'm being nitpicky.
In the UK at least, 'dune' and 'June' essentially sound the same and I think both clearly rhyme with moon.
Nice quiz
