Embarrasingly, the first thing I typed was Orc, because I thought that a Roc should be an acceptable answer, and my dyslexia said that's clearly how it is spelt...

A couple of days ago I would've been mad and said "why among all of the cards you must have chosen that only one I don't know the English name of?". But I found that out very recently, so I've got 4 points instead of 3.

I am so so sorry to complain on the easiest quiz ever, but could you accept drinks for the barista question? Baristas also work in restaurants and bars, and I knew the answer was probably something regarding coffee shops when drinks wasn't accepted but drinks is not wrong and probably a common guess

I will argue that your description is too broad. If you look up the dictionary definition of the word, "barista" refers to one who prepares different types of coffee. I haven't heard of anyone calling a person preparing mixed drinks behind a bar anything other than "bartender."

Very small and pedantic, but

What type of animal has several rows of teeth and can go through as many

Should be as many AS. Great quiz, apologies for being overscrupulous.
