Level 59

Jan 13, 2023

I’d argue with the Titanic question being easy. Me being a 12 year old kid (and a lot of JetPunkers being younger), we couldn’t care less about actors and whatnot so wouldn’t know anything about them.

+28

Level 74

Jan 13, 2023

Eh, I’ve never seen Titanic and I still got it. There’s always going to be a group who doesn’t know the answers to certain questions, but for the general population I’d say it’s pretty easy.

+21

Level 83

Jan 13, 2023

90% got it right, so more people know that Leo was in Titanic than have heard of a flock of birds.

Level 78

Jan 13, 2023

I tried Winslet first

Level 17

Feb 13, 2023

My favorite male actor kate winslet

Level 26

Jan 13, 2023

I'm 11 and I didn't watch it when I was younger yet I got it correct.

Level 60

Feb 13, 2023

It's still pretty easy, being one of the most famous and influential movies of all time. Just because you can't get it immediately doesn't mean it's not easy.

Level 74

Mar 21, 2023

Famous, yes; infuential? hardly.

Level 68

Feb 13, 2023

MiecraftMan may I suggest you substitute the phrase 'we couldn't care less' with 'we tend not to have developed an interest in stage and screen yet.'

Level 25

Feb 14, 2023

Around your age (won’t say my real ago tho) and still got it right so regardless of age it’s pretty easy

Level 79

The "moon" clue is going to throw a lot of people from outside of North America. It even took me a while, and I used to live over there.

+15

Level 75

Jan 13, 2023

Definitely pronounced differently on this side of the pond.

Level 86

Jan 13, 2023

true, the only answer i didn't knew. I even read both words out loud afterwards and still dont think they rhyme, no matter how I pronounce them

Level 80

Jan 13, 2023

I'm not North American and they still rhyme for me. Curious as to how people are pronouncing 'dune' to make it not rhyme!

In the UK at least, 'dune' and 'June' essentially sound the same and I think both clearly rhyme with moon.

Level 82

Jan 14, 2023

Yes, while the intial vowel is different in British English (/dʒ/ not /d/, the vowel sound is still the same (/uː/), so it's a rhyme, while perhaps seeming less obviously one.

Level 63

Feb 13, 2023

I think people might pronounce moon with a strong /u:/ vowel and dune (regardless of the consonant) with a /y:/ vowel

Level 75

Feb 15, 2023

I was thinking of words that ended in 'oon', but the only one that had remotely to do with sand was 'lagoon'. Of course it didn't work. Never occurred to me that the rhyme could be spelled differently.

Level 59

Jan 14, 2023

You used to live on the moon? Impressive

Level 66

Feb 16, 2023

I kept thinking of things made FROM sand, like glass, not made OF sand.

Level 26

Jan 13, 2023

I guess this is sort of Easy Peazy Lemon Squeezy

Level 62

Jan 13, 2023

I don't have a phonetic keyboard so I can't give you the IPA transliterations, but dune (pronounced something like djyoon) definitely doesn't rhyme with moon in British English

Level 82

Jan 14, 2023

British English: /djuːn/, /dʒuːn/ (dune), /muːn/ (moon). The vowel sounds are the same so it's a rhyme.

Level 85

Jan 14, 2023

Poor question anyway, no wonder why it's the least guessed of the quiz.

Level 70

Jan 13, 2023

Should be "what is the largest living bird?"

Level 64

Jan 16, 2023

Doesn't "is" kind of imply that it's alive?

Level 60

Feb 13, 2023

It would, but the question as written uses “What’s”, which could viably be interpreted as either ‘what is’ or ‘what was’.

Level 75

Feb 15, 2023

No. 'What's' can either mean 'what is' or 'what has', but never 'what was'.

Level 28

Jan 13, 2023

across the pond a group of fish is a shoal... why - who knows... lol

Nice quiz

Level 73

Feb 13, 2023

It's not a geographical difference; they have slightly different meanings. A school of the same fish or a shoal of mixed species of fish.

Level 40

Jan 14, 2023

Leo's name is mispelled. It should be "DiCaprio" not "di Caprio".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_DiCaprio

Level 55

Jan 15, 2023

I'm pretty sure Ronaldo doesn't come from Brazil...

+12

Level 55

Jan 15, 2023

not cristiano ronaldo, but ronaldo luis nazario de lima or r9

Level 33

Jan 17, 2023

Ronaldo is from Portugal

Level 45

Feb 13, 2023

Ronaldo Nazário, not Cristiano Ronaldo.

Level 68

Feb 13, 2023

The water question appears in Easy GK #3

Level 56

Feb 13, 2023

Pawns are technically not pieces

Level 74

Feb 13, 2023

What? Why on earth wouldn't they be?

Level 71

Feb 14, 2023

If you're going to assert something is wrong on a technicality, you should really make an effort to support your assertion. I'd genuinely like to know what the issue is.

Level 60

Feb 13, 2023

I misunderstood the nuclear power question to mean a literal plant, and racked my brain for a plant that somehow used nuclear power.

Level 71

Feb 14, 2023

It does mean a literal plant. Plant has more than one definition. Context always matters.

Level 47

Feb 13, 2023

it should be clarified which Ronaldo we are referring to

Level 35

Feb 13, 2023

the one who isn't called cristiano

Level 73

Feb 13, 2023

The one from the same country as Ronaldinho.

Level 56

Feb 13, 2023

Surprised the percentage on Dune was so low

Level 49

Feb 13, 2023

Made a 100%, but took a while with the bird because I thought condor or albatross first.

Level 56

Feb 14, 2023

I just learned that Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are two different people.

Level 72

Feb 14, 2023

good quiz

Level 33

Feb 16, 2023

RONALDO IS FROM PORTUGAL

Level 4

Feb 18, 2023

Ronaldo Nazario (R9), not Cristiano Ronaldo

Level 33

Feb 16, 2023

I think that the clark kent one is harder because i don't watch movies and who on earth is clark kent

Leonardo DiCaprio is memed
