Because it's a test of knowledge, not spelling? I'm grateful the Countries quiz accepts Eretria, having had a good friend spelled such, I frequently mess up the country name.

I think most people (at least in the US) know it ONLY as Ayers' Rock, and don't know what 'Uluru' is referring to.

Having only ever used the name "Rock, Paper, Scissors", I used to genuinely think that "roshambo" was as Cartman described in an episode of South Park when he challenges Butters to a game:

"First, I kick you in the nuts as hard as I can, then you kick me in the nuts as hard as you can, and we go back and forth like that until one of us falls over." - Of course Cartman wins immediately after starting round #1...

The Japanese name for it is janken, so that's not much of an explanation. The origin of the word roshambo is actually unknown.
