I just searched up the blood in the water match, and I think its comparable to Malice at the Palace.

The Palace at Auburn Hills, MI. Home to the NBA's Detroit Pistons. (a brawl that spilled over into the stands) Not Crystal Palace.

I don't think so: Malice at the Palace was caused by sports beef.

On the other hand, Blood in the Water had the Hungarian Revolution, freshly crushed, behind. Not only the Hungarian team were playing to defend their Olympic championship: they were playing to salvage some pride to their country, especially against the Soviet team. It had so much political tension in the game itself and in the crowd.

I tried polo but didn't think to add 'water' before it. So close.

In the answer to what statue, I put just “liberty” as that is the name of statue, yet it didn’t accept it...I see it needed Statue of Liberty , seems strange when the question is “what statue” that its name isn’t acceptable without the word statue in front of it

Yes. Same. It would be consistent with other quizzes to accept just "Liberty".

Water polo and polo are two very different sports despite sharing a common name. It's an important distinction.

Turns out 'Georgie Porgie' is an old nursery rhyme and 'Georgy Porgy' is the Toto song based off of it. So unfortunately this is not a Toto reference, although that was how I knew the answer

I thought the Greek question was looking for 3 different words, so I put Faith, Hope, and Love. Dang it.

Must ve tried nearly everything related but starship.. I tried jets, rocket, spaceship, shuttle, spaceshuttle, ufo, drone, concorde. Maybe 1 or 2 more. Ow yea helicopter out of desperation :D

I guess they are not names of a band. Though I thought Jefferson Jets sounded pretty good.

You all make me feel old. Actually they were sort of three different groups - Jefferson Airplane pretty much died and then was resurrected a couple of years later as Jefferson Starship in the mid-'70s. Starship, the '80s group it morphed into, was nothing like the original.

So this is a bit of a nitpick, but isn't Greek also commonly used in binomial nomenclature? I learned it as the first name is [the answer] and the second one is commonly Greek. I can see why [the answer] is the one given but surely Greek can be accepted?
