I got the feeling that thanks to the Scottish voting more people now know what haggis is. On a different note: can you please accept "Canaries" for "Canary Islands"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands

So, "coin coin" is the least guessed answer. Maybe it would be easier if poeple heard how we pronounce "oin" in French ;). Oh, and Cousteau's first name was Jacques-Yves, we use some compound first names in French, so in his case Yves is not a middle name.

Alright, just to be really annoying and picky, but there is also a Westminster Cathedral so Westminster on its own shouldn't really be accepted as the answer.

OK I now checked in Wikipedia and it says "commonly known in English as Jacques Cousteau", so maybe it's actually correct for the purposes of this quiz, but it's really weird.

I did change it to Jacques-Yves for the sake of accuracy, but yes, he is commonly known in English as simply Jacques Costeau. Who knows why.

Yves was never required. In fact, on JetPunk, you can save time by typing only last names, which in this case is Cousteau. I've added the misspelling of Costeau as an accepted type-in now.

Am I missing something? The exact opposite of Beijing, China is somewhere in the oceans. I guessed it right, but it was a guess where Chile, Brazil, etc. would have equally qualified.

Roughly, Beijing is located 39N, 116E, i.e. the exact opposite is 39S, 116W which is nearer Chile than Argentina.

When looking for the opposite side of the earth, you flip the latitude from north to south (or vice versa) but you subtract the longitude of the first location from 180 degrees to get the longitude of the opposite location. The opposite of 116E is 64W, not 116W.

What's wrong with it? 'Diametrically opposite' might a tad more accurate, but 'exact opposite' seems fine. And it's certainly not an oxymoron, unless 'exact' means 'same'.
