It's called Boxing Day in Canada and most Commonwealth countries.

Nice quiz, but:

1) A king and a queen can also move diagonally in chess, not just a bishop

2) Mercury was also a messenger of the gods. Perhaps specify "Greek gods"?

Thanks

Yeah, I tried to specify which pieces can only move diagonally.

Please accept eyeballs and Mercury. The term Boxing Day is used much more widely than just the UK.

Level 79

Mar 16, 2022

I second this, I said eye and eyeball. The question asks in singular, the answer should be accepted in singular.

The day after Christmas Day is also St. Stephen’s Day. Please include that as an option.

Oh ok, thank you.

Contrary to popular belief, eyes are not fully grown at birth, so that answer should be changed. Here's proof:

2. https://www.healthline.com/health/do-your-eyes-grow#:~:text=While%20babies'%20eyes%20are%20developed,and%20undergo%20age%2Drelated%20changes.

Interesting, I didn't know that.

Shouldn't that be "body party" not "body"?

Level 86

Mar 16, 2022

"Which body is said to be fully-grown from birth?" - this does not make any sense.

Level 63

Mar 16, 2022

It should be: "Which body PART is said to be full-grown..."

Level 90

Mar 16, 2022

Nice quiz, but strange wording; surely should say 'body part'

Thank you

Level 79

Mar 18, 2022

the question about the most common letter should come before the question about the body part, otherwise you get it for free. also waaaay too much time imo?

yeah that's a good point lol
