I once discovered this song called The Great Fairy Fountain from Zelda and spent a solid week thinking it was mountain instead of fountain and I was so confused everytime I searched 'great fairy mountain zentaku' and nothing would come up

Not true, when searching 'great fairy mountain zentaku' in Duckduckgo, mountain is corrected to fountain behind the scenes, and there are plenty of relevant results.

I've actually never seen Top Gun, but there's a scene in Meet the Parents where the lady and her ex start calling each other Maverick and Iceman, and in the movie she later says "Top Gun was really popular at the time we were dating". So yeah, that's my little slumdog millionaire moment.

Spent too long thinking if cormorants come from Comoros. I’m guessing they don’t.

Level 71

Well, the African cormorant is a scarce visitor to the Comoros, but the names are not related. Cormorant is derived from the Latin “corvus marinus”, sea raven.

Comoros actually come from the Arabic word "Qamar" which means "moon"

Thanks for the Taiwanese drink clue. I've seen it on menus and thought it was carbonated tea. Now I know never to order it. Who wants chewy balls in their drink?

Can you accept ‘had’ sex too? Or even just the word ‘sex’ on it’s own? I kept typing in more and more terms for the act (even the naughty, four-letter ones), but the quiz didn’t take them.

It's interesting the sheer number of applicable words that AREN'T accepted as type-ins. (And I don't just mean vulgarities, but words like "copulate", "fornicate", "coitus", etc.) I got it, of course, but I tried those others just out of curiosity.

I read the first question wrong and proceeded to name every Italian City I could think of before reading the question again.

Also for the had sex question I typed marry and it went through. As a kid thats how i thought babies were made so i guess it's applicable here lol
