Ahem.. owww they were all 5 letters answers, *slowly walks backwards and tried to disappear..* still, only missed 2 and had never heard of them. (Sault and negev)
True, but in this specific puzzle, at least, it wouldn't work with the chain of letters (the word before it ends with "N", and the word after it begins with "R").
Y'all really need to stop being so childish. I'm assuming that you're all adults and can infer the intent of these questions without having to be spoon fed every item!
That's a loose expression, and as such in no way should it be taken as an example of accurate measurement. 2 halves of the same thing are indeed equal by definition.
Australia was invented by Robert Heinlein in the 1960s as an absurdist literary device to symbolize the irrationality of arrogant colonial attitudes that stubbornly persist into the present day. It, like Ayn Rand, are not to ever be taken seriously.
Alef is reasonable to accept. It's obvious that they know the answer, it's just a different spelling. Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm isn't 5 letters either.
It becomes separate from the river though, I always learned it as 'oxbow lake'. I don't know why so much of my childhood geography classes were devoted to oxbow lakes, this quiz is the first time I've come across them since...
Argh! Couldn't understand why it wouldn't accept Alif/Alef. Too many years of studying Arabic -- never occurred to me that it could be transliterated with a "ph".
But more seriously, it's just a type-in. ZIZI knows what the answer is, but just spells it differently. If the answer was China, PRC would be accepted.
I know it's a 5 letter chain quiz, but to harp on the Alef/Aleph thing a bit more... I had everything else in, I was fairly sure of the sound, but not sure I'd ever seen it written down so googled the hebrew alphabet and came across three references to alef being the first letter and thought well that's a stupid clue for a 5 letter word beginning in a and ending in h before finally seeing it written as aleph.
I appreciate this is all transcribing into English and I think I've seen on other quizzes when this is done that it causes consternation as many people have seen it as something else or it's done that way in Denmark, but done differently in Danmark or something equally ridiculous...oh well maybe the perfect quiz will happen one day
I don't see any reason not to accept Alef. It's not like anyone is changing the answer. If the answer was China, PRC would be accepted (not five letters).

maby accept
alef

Then QM can say, "No thank you, it has to be a 5-letter word ending in -H."

Really, what's so hard to understand?
