I apparently had the answers to all but 1 of these stashed away in my brain somewhere. But for the 1 I didn't... I know a lot about basketball and football, a little about baseball and tennis, and not a whole lot about most other sports. Fortunately, I at least knew those were soccer team names, and Messi is 1 of the perhaps 3 active players I can name, so good enough, LOL!

Apparently so. In fact, the Isle of Man isn't even 4th largest, being beaten by Lewis and Harris, Skye, Mainland, Mull, Anglesey, and Islay. Wow!

19/20, just missed tld because I forgot what that was I guess. Had no idea Ivan was John but I guessed it because it's one of the most common names so that made sense, got lucky guessing Singapore for the South Africa question cuz otherwise would not have thought of it

Good lord. I can’t believe the name “Patrick” wouldn’t come to me. I kept putting St. Peter and thinking, “well if it’s not the Irish one, I have no idea.”

The question is still correct, but just a fun fact - BRICS is now BRICS+ and has 10 member states! ;)

Please accept big island as well for Hawaii.

Agreed. Hawaii isn't an island.

Question should say "which US state" or the answer should be changed.

You're wrong, Morkpie. Though it has several nicknames, including "The Big Island", the official name of the island is "Hawaii".

The island of Hawaii is one of several islands that make up the state of Hawaii. I can understand why it is confusing.

I can understand as well, but it's really easy to check before you proclaim the quiz is wrong and should be changed. ;)

Agreed. Paradoxical sleep is a valid synonymous term for REM sleep, named because in this state the brain appears to be awake despite the body being asleep.

While it's obvious what the answer is supposed to be, I feel compelled to point out that Lois Lane also made her debut in Action Comics #1, as did the character of Zatara the Master Magician (now better known as being the father of the DC character Zatanna.)

Can we also accept ‘big island’ for the island? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawai%CA%BBi_(island)

I got the resort country while guessing the meaning of the S in BRICS :)
