You should also allow Meaux for the mustard question. That's the good stuff.

Moutarde de Meaux is the famous one in France itself. It's higher quality and more expensive - and it's old fashioned grainy-style mustard which sells much less well in e.g. USA and UK. But it happens to have five letters.

Everybody in France would link mustard to Dijon, definitely not Meaux.

I am intrigued. A great idea for a young mustard afficionado, headed for Uni, (against all odds).

My god uncle is a Trappist, so he is set for jelly 🫐🍓 😋

Wasted a lot of time guessing 5-letter Italian cities that might have been the birthplace of espresso, before reading the question properly. Doh!

I was looking for countries for Mohammed... -_- ... thought I was going mad, surely somewhere in the middle east..! Or do they mean Ali...

Temporary brain malfunction, it was the only one I didn't get

I think you should change the Muhammad one to "They city where Muhammad was born." I was confused if it was asking for the country. I know it was obvious that it was Mecca but still, just to make it a bit more clear.

That confused me, too, at first. I couldn't figure out how to make the country into five letters. I think because the first question asked for a country my mind was already going there. Silly mind.

I kept trying Arabia, but of course, it didn’t work

The question should be more specific- I thought it was referring to my friend Muhammad from elementary school in Fargo North Dakota

Very confused

Good quiz! But I would question including the magma question. More of a geology question than a geography one.

I guess the question about the Amish is technically correct, as most Amish currently live in the United States. However, the Amish did not originate there. The Amish movement began in Switerland and Alsace in the 17th century, as a group that split from the Mennonites of the region. They are named after their initial leader, Jakob Ammann.

Sad that Delhi is so infamous for its pollution, although it's definitely true. I feel like I used to hear about Beijing being the most polluted city on the planet as a kid, but the attention has definitely shifted to Delhi in recent years.

I didn't read the title closely enough and thought this was a word-chain quiz. Therefore, I was able to get every second answer but was stumped trying to come up with the words in between. Doh!

19/22 i ran out of time. Question should be "What city was Mohammed born". Because it wouldn't accept Saudi Arabia and I couldn't understand why.

I wonder why Sofia gets an extra hint, it seems a bit redundant.

Nice quiz altogether!

16/22, not too great. I didn't know any of the ones I missed except Atlas. I spent like 2 minutes trying to recall the word, since I knew I knew it, but it never came. So annoying lol. No shot I would've known the capital of Samoa or what a fjord is.
