Good quiz! I'm wondering if dolphin could be acceptable. I missed dauphin cos I couldn't spell it. And after all, dauphin is French for dolphin.

I've never watched them, but not for any particular personal reason - it just never worked out in my schedule. As for starting to watch them now, I'm getting older and I'm getting more selective about the things I cram into the years I have remaining, - plus it would take away from my Jetpunk time. :)

I know most clues ask for last names, but couldn't Dolores also work for Hogwarts Headmaster? Umbridge did have the job for a little while, and since the clue doesn't ask specifically for a last name...

This may be one of those times when both answers are correct. You would probably use "Il Duce" when speaking about him (Mussolini) and simply "Duce" when speaking to him. I believe the word is similar to the royal title of Duke in meaning and use.

While they both come from the Latin "dux", which means leader, conductor, the Italian term for "duke" is actually "duca", and not "duce", which is a different title, mainly applied to Mussolini.

Considering how many misspelled words are accepted and last letters omitted, seems a bit harsh to be penalised for spelling "Dumbledor" without the last 'e'.

Agree with Jack. Their name is "Bee Gees" - plural, so the apostrophe should come after the S.

You might accept Dahlbusch for a "bomb that doesn't explode", it would help miners answer correctly as well as soldiers. ;-)

Ben Zimmer, lexicographer, found the earliest usage of the acronym from 1993, in a trademark filed for YOLO gear with "you only live once" in small lettering. The acronym was popularized around 2011 by Canadian rapper Drake. YOLO was entered into the Oxford English Dictionary as a word in 2016.
