So, Europium is "good ropium", and dysprosium is "bad prosium"?

Dangit! Stupid biology led me astray on the “eu” question. Got them all but that one, but I couldn’t get eukaryotic out of my head. Turns out prokaryotic isn’t really the “opposite” of eukaryotic.

I had the same issue with biology. But I looked at eu = true and pseudo = false.

Same here. I couldn't think of other words starting with eu than eukaryotic and European. Both weren't very helpful, as one can imagine.

Perhaps people learn. These questions are taken from others general knowledge quizzes. They might have gotten them wrong on the original quizzes but remembered.

Plus what is easy for some is difficult for others. I for instance did not get the most guessed answer (city) (nor the superspy). but I did get the eu- one (and the jewelcase).

You can just name the poet who wrote Don Juan, since you don't identify anyone else by their sexuality.

Please accept "mal-" as an antonym for "eu-". In trying to figure out why the more common (in this sense) prefix was rejected, I stumbled onto the Wiktionary and sites that draw from it--but these have alphabetical lists, and of course "dys-" comes first.

Can we also accept 'caco' as opposite for 'eu'?

Euphony-cacophony

Eudemon-cacodemon

Euosmia-cacosmia

Eutopia-Cacotopia

Etc.

That was a fun quiz, thanks. Guess I'm not a genius, for I got one wrong. I do have one suggestion. When I taught English, I always told the students that a comma splice was an error in punctuation, rather than in grammar.

Wow, I know I'm getting old when I see that only 26% of people know what a jewel case is for. This was pretty common knowledge back in my school days.

Though, maybe it was really only called that here in the states.
