Not sure I would have gotten spoon if not for the picture. But given the picture, 51% surprisingly low.

To be honest, soup spoon and tablespoon are fairly obvious, but grapefruit spoon? I've only ever heard of a grapefruit knife - those serrated ones you use to get the segments out. But I don't eat grapefruit, so that's probably why.

I have a set of grapefruit spoons, and they are the quintessential tool for eating a grapefruit half. They are narrow, pointed at the end, and serrated along one side.

I'm kicking myself over this one for sure, but, hypothetically, why wouldn't player, pro, and stadium (and possibly even ball) be acceptable answers to the tennis/baseball/football clue?

Yes, but what is the first and foremost thing that they all have in common? I mean, look at the things you listed. What do "ball, coach, stadium, fan, jersey/uniform, and TV channel" all have in common? They all have to do with sports.

"what is love?" I asked my wife while she was refraining from brandishing a kitchen knife and ruminating over the the last two times she asked me to take out the garbage. She stopped mincing garlic for a moment, dropped her shoulders...sighed...slowly turned her perfectly proportioned skull so her cosmically aligned cartoon-sized barbecue-smoky sienna eyes bore two ten-thousand degree blue-hot laser rifles through my face...and she muttered, barely audibly..."...baby don't hurt me..."

I'm so in love...and have been for 24 years come tomorrow. Eat my a$$.

So some words have to be spelled correctly? Missle cannot be accepted for missile, but other words can be totally jacked up spelling wise and they count.

This one was much harder than the other ones, only got 15 (18 on the others). Though I did type elements, must ve made a typo. A guys name and two types of fuel would never have gotten me grill. And the other ones do not mean much to me either. Sidewinder made me think of snake. (Though seeing the clues, studpoker rings a bell)

18/20. never heard of the nose, and knew what the temperament one was, but kept typing 'adjective' or 'emotion'. i am also confused as to why 11% of ppl didn't know that baseball, hockey, and tennis were sports? jetpunk really has an audience i guess
