A lesson to us all - look before you leap. I was getting ready to post something along the lines of "that isn't a real dinosaur", but went to the trouble of a web search before posting. Turns out that the dinosaur in question has been officially re-renamed to the term with which so many of us Flintstones watchers are so familiar. Pity the poor Apatosaurus - you have once again been relegated to obscurity.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, but anyways, Brontosaurus would still be a vernacular name for that beast...

No worries, Apatosaurus is still a valid genus of dinosaur! Scientists used to think that Brontosaurus was included in that, but now it's been reclassified as its own separate (but closely related) genus.

If anyone wants to see a good documentary about the nuclear testing on Bikini Atoll, watch Radio Bikini. I believe it's on YouTube.

Shouldn't the Sarajevo answer be 'Bosnia and Herzegovina'? That's how the country is referred to in virtually every other quiz on Jetpunk.

Bosnia is a region of Bosnia and Herzegovina; although it's not an officially defined region with a capital, its largest city is indeed Sarajevo.

As a Brit (and used to poorly worded questions that only Americans would normally get), I think it's an unfair clue. Blair was British PM for ten years and clearly was as significant in foreign eyes as Thatcher. No reason for anybody outside the UK to particularly recognise or remember Major and Brown. The clue should simply be something like "Decade-long prime minister of the UK covering the turn of the millennium".

I don't think it's unfair to ask people to recognise the names of two UK Prime Ministers. As a Brit, I'd recognise 2 fairly recent US Presidents, 2 French Presidents, 2 Russian/USSR Presidents etc etc, and have a good stab at getting one in between. I'd say the UK is up there with the likes of those.

As a Yank, I can testify that there is nothing wrong with the clue and I got the answer easily. All three prime ministers are perfectly well known to any Americans who paid even the smallest modicum of attention to world affairs in the last few decades.

People should know a thing or two about the world outside their own country. Not knowing something "because I'm a Brit" or "because I'm a Yank" is a poor excuse no matter who uses it.

To be honest, I'd have a really rough time giving you the order of the PMs. But really all the question is asking is to recognize that those are the last names of British PMs and then to name the only other obvious one that starts with a B.

Not really. Would you still say it was obscure if "major" was replaced by "bush" and "brown" became "trump"?

Good quiz.

I don't find it to be the least bit obscure. It's fairly recent history. If the clue was Chamberlain and MacDonald maybe.

Not obscure at all, though I was not thinking minister at all. Major and brown can mean so many things ( if I was from the uk that combo would probably have triggered something) I think i typed league whaha.

The clue is just fine, it was my mind that didnt zoom in on the right info. (though indeed a different description might work better, this way it is not just the knowledge but also figuring out the question. But personally I think that is what makes it fun..)

You've learned something. Be grateful. "After John and before Gordon" might be obscure--but a decent percentage of Sporcellians would get that as well.

For the record, JFK never said he was a jelly doughnut.

First, he was giving the speech in Berlin, where Berliners are called Pfannkuchen, so the audience wouldn't have been thinking of the word in that sense.

Second, it's commonly stated that he should've said "Ich bin Berliner" instead, but that would have been him saying "I am literally a person from Berlin," as opposed to the figurative meaning he was going for with "Ich bin ein Berliner." It would be like the difference between a foreign politician saying "I am a New Yorker" and "I am from New York."

Third, even if it could technically have been interpreted in that way, absolutely no one would have done so, any more than an English-speaker would hear "I am a New Yorker" and think they were saying "I am a magazine."

(Sorry, this misconception is one of my pet peeves!)
