Finally a 100% general knowledge quiz. Usually it's just one that keeps me from a perfect score.

Got them all as well, although there were some tricky ones that took several guesses and some thinking.

I didn't have to guess on any of the ones I got except for the Canadian province one... but I didn't know who wrote White Fang.

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but could "Delta" mean a very small amount? As in calculus? It was my first thought.

I first thought of epsilon, as in the definition of a limit, but it's rather obvious that the question is asking for something more common.

I thought it would be mu since it is the common symbol meaning micro (10^-6) at least in the metric system. I have no idea what iota has to do whit anything small, could someone explain?

It's commonly used in the phrase "...not one iota of..." Jesus uses the phrase in one of His sermons. It gained that usage because it's the smallest written Greek letter.

You might want to learn German because mu is used for a small amount rather than iota.

Delta implies the difference between two amounts, not necessarily a very small amount in itself.

I don't think it's a stretch at all. In science, delta means a small amount; in mathematics, epsilon... Iota was my third try. This might be one of those questions that punishes people in specific fields of study.

Capital delta means change, it doesn't have to be small, taking the limit as one does in calculus is a derivative. I was thinking that lowercase delta was used for partial derivative and just to be sure, I looked it up just now and found out I've been wrong all these years. I still don't know how I managed to get a math degree

John Philip Sousa did not actually invent the sousaphone, but rather it was given to him as a gift by a member of his band.

So you 'literally' didn't type them all. And typing 'China' for 'Canada' is a shocking error from someone usually so precise.

Describing El Salvador as the "safe" seems like a stretch. Presumably you're referring to the country now having the lowest reported homicide rate in Central America, but I'm not sure the Salvadorans being thrown into prison without trial and suffering human rights abuses would consider themselves "safe."

Yeah, this is a pretty important distinction. It's true that police states tend to (predictably) have very low crime rates, but that itself is not a justification of police states.
