I got the feeling that thanks to the Scottish voting more people now know what haggis is. On a different note: can you please accept "Canaries" for "Canary Islands"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands

So, "coin coin" is the least guessed answer. Maybe it would be easier if poeple heard how we pronounce "oin" in French ;). Oh, and Cousteau's first name was Jacques-Yves, we use some compound first names in French, so in his case Yves is not a middle name.

Wow, that's some really bad reasoning there. The fact that the name is sometimes abbreviated to Jacques doesn't mean that's how it's said "in english". In fact, if you want to be accurate, in english Jacques would be Jacob or James, as those are the (unnecessary) english translations. But that goes to show that, even if you're talking in english, you can perfectly use names in other languages, so your purist gatekeeping is unnecessary.

Alright, just to be really annoying and picky, but there is also a Westminster Cathedral so Westminster on its own shouldn't really be accepted as the answer.

Complicating things, quite a lot of royal weddings have been at St Paul's Cathedral too, which is in the City of London, not in the City of Westminster...

Two points: Westminster Cathedral is Roman Catholic, so no chance of the British royals getting married there; only one royal wedding (that of Charles and Diana) has been held in St Paul's.

OK I now checked in Wikipedia and it says "commonly known in English as Jacques Cousteau", so maybe it's actually correct for the purposes of this quiz, but it's really weird.

I did change it to Jacques-Yves for the sake of accuracy, but yes, he is commonly known in English as simply Jacques Costeau. Who knows why.

Yves was never required. In fact, on JetPunk, you can save time by typing only last names, which in this case is Cousteau. I've added the misspelling of Costeau as an accepted type-in now.

Personally I was happy to be among the minority able to answer Geographic questions like what's opposite China on the globe, where is Denpasar and name the Spanish island chain, and not too sad to be among the 14% who didn't know the answer to a question about a childrens' film.

Darn it! I just checked "antipodes" in the search box. Some other people beat me to it. Happens all the time.

Am I missing something? The exact opposite of Beijing, China is somewhere in the oceans. I guessed it right, but it was a guess where Chile, Brazil, etc. would have equally qualified.

Roughly, Beijing is located 39N, 116E, i.e. the exact opposite is 39S, 116W which is nearer Chile than Argentina.

When looking for the opposite side of the earth, you flip the latitude from north to south (or vice versa) but you subtract the longitude of the first location from 180 degrees to get the longitude of the opposite location. The opposite of 116E is 64W, not 116W.
