Does anyone else get nervous typing words like 'molotov', 'al Qaida', 'bomb', etc into the interwebs? I'm expecting a knock on the door any minute.....

Even if they are flagged, I *hope* that they would examine the context before investigating every use of those words - think of how many movies are described as "bombs."

100% with 2:32 left. surprised so many knew Japanese comic book style, I pulled that answer out of some obscure part of my brain. Yet the weakest answer is the Mekong river which should be easy after it was a feature of the Vietnam War.

For once I got them all and no cheating. 3:47 left on the clock. Gandhi's name took most time and a second one I had to think about for a second was nearsightedness.

maxilla is definitely not the jawbone, if anything it is the cheekbone

Well the maxilla is/forms the upper jaw, so definitely not not "definitely not". And cheekbone is more like a make up/model term about appearance not an official term for an actual bone. There is no actual bone called the cheekbone. (And if anything would be officially called the cheekbone, it is the zygomatic, that is the protruding part, starting at your ear, the maxilla is from below your nose up to the protruding part, roughly speaking)

However the term jawbone is generally used to refer to the lower jawbone unless otherwise specified.

Yeah, not so sure the Maori count as "indigenous". The Maori have only been in New Zealand for less than 800 years (only ~200 before the Dutch arrived.) Maybe change it to "early settlers."

Yes, this is a debatable issue, though it is generally accepted Maori are indigenous.

It's very debatable. When is it old enough to be indigenous? There was nobody else there first, so they're the first culture to develop there. Humans didn't just spring up around the world, after all. So when is it old enough to be considered indigenous? Are Metis people indigenous to Canada? What's the literal definition of "indigenous" that you're using as an authority?

Isn't Australia the biggest island in the Indian Ocean? I think so, I don't really consider it a continent, not ONLY Australia, all of Oceania is a continent, but I guess Australia is not.

1. Australia is not "in" the Indian Ocean, the west coast is one of the borders

2. Australia is a continent (or very large island) located within the geographic area broadly known as Oceania

I know this is a bit of an odd to say, but I wish you didn't underline the space in the first caveat! :) I love how you almost never underline the spaces in caveats on quizzes - it makes it look really nice

Melbourne is currently the largest city in Australia as of very recently. Considering how close in population it and Sydney are, they may flop back and forth. Probably best to just say "one of the two largest cities"

"The maxilla (pl.: maxillae /mækˈsɪliː/) in vertebrates is the upper fixed (not fixed in Neopterygii) bone of the jaw formed from the fusion of two maxillary bones"

Litterally from Wikipedia, I didn't get why it didn't work.
