Sodium chloride should work for halite.

Sodium chloride is just salt in any form. That doesn't seem specific enough to me. (Disclaimer: I missed that question anyway)

Halite is specifically NaCl - sodium chloride.

If you can guess "sodium chloride," you should be able to guess "salt."

I thought for sure Halite would be related to Halitosis and have something to do with bad breath!

So if you put album in parentheses as part of the clue, and then I type in "WHITE", why doesn't that one autofinish? I typed in "THE WHITE" and when it didn't accept it, I just assumed I was wrong. Kind of silly when so many other of the answers don't require typing in the entire answer before they autofinish.

It's asking for "The White Album" though. If there was a quiz asking for Abbey Road you wouldn't just type in "Abbey" and expect it to auto-complete. I don't know if you expect it to complete because it says (album) in the title but that is just specifying that it's referring to the white album and not the band.

Yes, but if there was a quiz that asked "What road has a Beatles album named after it," then it would be reasonable to expect "Abbey" to be accepted.

I knew I recognized the name Ted Kaczynski! I just started guessing all those Jewish comedians who changed their names for Hollywood.

I wonder how much longer Denali will be "also known as" McKinley, now that that Denali has become the mountain's official name. Ironic how it ever got to be named after someone who never even visited the state!

When presidents are assassinated it seems to cause a frenzy here to name everything in sight in remembrance of them. JFK Airport, Cape Kennedy, numerous Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley high schools, etc.

In Alaska, it was never really called Mt. McKinley anyway.

When I was in Alaska, I asked someone if there was any place in the Anchorage are where we could see Denali.

She didn't understand the question. So I rephrased with Mount McKinley. She also didn't understand that.

Local knowledge has its limits...

Some people/locales do totally call them gophers on occasion, especially in places with groundhogs but no true gophers

Aren’t groundhogs marmots? I tried “ground squirrel” and “marmot” to no avail. I think marmot should be accepted

William the Bastard was also known as William I (using the regnal number), William Duke of Normandy, William of Normandy, as well as the answer on the quiz. That having been said, I don't think regnal numbers were then in use.
