Good work on the double bluff for Osamu Tezuka.
Not sure if you've changed this in future but it would be nice to have the ft/in measurements in metres too (and spelling "liter" as litre).
I try to remember to provide metric measurements, but I am not always successful. In general, I am making an effort to make my quizzes less U.S.-centric (except for the ones that are U.S.-centric by nature, e.g. quizzes about Presidents) by including metric measurements, including translations from American English to rest-of-world English (when known), and other measures. I will consider updating this quiz … but it will be a little painful, as it will reset the statistics for this quiz.
