I like this quiz, but given the lengthy descriptions, a little more time would be appreciated, especially by the many quizzers whose first language isn't English. Thanks.

I’m glad you like the quiz, but I do not plan to increase the time.

Since this quiz is not eligible for points, you give up nothing to take it in untimed mode. To take a quiz in untimed mode,

1. Start the quiz. Three circular icons will display next to the timer.

2. Select the icon that resembles a clock face. The timer will be replaced by the word “Untimed,” and you can take as much time as you need to finish the quiz.

I do not believe it is customary on the JetPunk site for quiz authors to adjust the timer specifically to accommodate persons with any disability, including less than 100% language proficiency.

I have taken numerous JetPunk quizzes in French, Italian and German (and a few in Spanish), and I am quite sure the quiz authors did not try to accommodate my incomplete mastery of their language when deciding how long it should take to complete their quizzes.
