Can the picture stop being the answer? It devalues one question per quiz.

I've often thought that too. The picture here refers to the sample question so the easy solution would be for the sample not to be included in the quiz. It does spoil things just a bit that one question per quiz is a gimme. That's like winning on Jeopardy only because someone in the audience shouted out the answer.

Yes, and it's asking how many in a dozen (12) baker's dozens (13). So how many are there in 12 groups of 13. 12 x 13 = 156.

"one direction" didn't work for me. Is it case sensitive?

Edit: Tried again and it did work. I must have misspelt it.

FYI to other people who might read this comment.

Capitalization, punctuation, and spacing never matters on JetPunk. You can type "!@ONE DIRECtION" and it will work.

No Auto Union for the interlocking rings? That was what they were called when the logo was unveiled and was the official name of the company for 50 years after the rings were unveiled.They've been the other name for about 40 years.
