I think the Earth's natural satellite question/category should be edited. Possibly just pluralizing it to make it the same as the rest? Other than that great quiz!

also the time could probably be decreased to something like two minutes because i had either finished or died well before the timer on every attempt, and i'm a fairly slow typer

Thanks for the feedback. The timer is now set at 2 minutes and I've changed satellite to plural to have the same wording as the rest of the hints.

Not trying to brag--I'm merely presenting a statement of fact. I got 28/28 with over a minute to spare. However, a lot of these questions were right up my alley. I've taken other quizzes, where I can't even get half the answers. I thought this was a good mix of questions, and it was fun. Well done.

Seemed easy to me, but the fact that only 60% knew (or could figure out) that there are 4 musicians in a quartet may suggest that others would disagree.

That Northern Ireland isn’t considered a country is not the same thing as it not being part of the UK. Gibraltar isn’t a country but it’s part of the UK.

Whether Northern Ireland is considered a country or not is highly unclear, but many Brits are taught that it’s one of the four constituent countries (too awkward to say three constituent countries and one more important region thingy, plus a dozen or so less important ones wait we didn’t mean to insult them) and it isn’t sovereign so everyone else doesn’t really care.

Close, but Gibraltar is not legally part of the UK, it's an overseas territory. Reverendmeat has a valid point, NI isn't always considered a "country" as originally Ireland by itself was one of the 4 UK "countries" so now some consider the UK to be the 3 other countries + the "province" of NI.

"the four great countries of the union: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland"

Primary source about UK: The UK Constitution

But this source has no authority. It's a parliamentary report of what a UK constitution might look like. The UK currently doesn't have a constitution.

Valid point. As a report from the House of Commons this source seems quite official and valid.

We can argue on how to designate the 4 great parts/countries/nations/historical regions forming UK, anyway I suggest keeping the things simple and using common sense.

Wikipedia says Northern Ireland "is a part of the United Kingdom in the north-east of the island of Ireland that is variously described as a country, province or region.[13][14][15][16][17]".

I'm clearly not the only one who is confused on this.

Reverendmeat is correct here. Even as a Brit I lost a life on the first question as there is no consensus on what NI is. Usually this doesn't matter in Jetpunk but since you only have 3 lives in this quiz, the question should probably be removed

I didn't think it was too easy as others are saying and I think 2 minutes is not enough time. I often finish JetPunk quizzes with tons of times left over that are "too easy". This was not one of them.

These words are synonyms for "nothing". Cipher is an old word derivated from Arabic "ṣifr".

Is there a reason Harry Potter is everywhere on Jetpunk? Do adults watch these? I know everything I know about the franchise from missing questions on this site. Apparently there were 4 houses. Now I know that too!

Harry Potter is simply very popular all over the world, not just on JetPunk.

This is a series of novels, not only movies, and yes some adults read/watch it I guess :)
