How about Koala for an australian animal. Need to be more specific as to which one you were looking for.

The Koala lives in Australia, sure, but it is not a national animal. Those would be the Kangaroo and Emu.

SO maybe the question could be rephrased to "one of the animals on Australia's coat of arms"?

According to biologist Stephen Jackson: "If you were to take a straw poll of the animal most closely associated with Australia, it's a fair bet that the koala would come out marginally in front of the kangaroo". Also kind of depends on how you would define nation (there is the legal definition and the cultural definition, I guess), and the fact that the Australian official national animal is specifically the red kangaroo, and not any other type.

Koalas might edge out emus, but there's no way they would beat kangaroos.

Furthermore, koalas are terrible. I'm not going to link to it because of curse words, but you can google it.

Although I got it right, this is one of the few times when I agree that another spelling/pronunciation should be acceptable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa

Yep I wrote krakatau aswell it is the english name, besides the spelling you have here (and the local name which usually is accepted on this site). When it wasnt accepted I thought I must have confused the name with something else, so I was surprised when I saw the answer.

"The Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program cites the Indonesian name, Krakatau, as the correct name, but says that Krakatoa is often employed."

When I was a little girl in Panama, a rich American came to our town and he was wearing the softest most beautiful sweater. I said to him, "what do you call this most beautiful fabric?", and he said "they call it cashmere". I repeated the words "cashmere, cashmere". I asked if I could have it, and he said "No".

LOL I thought Kookaburra for Australia, and I cant believe that many people failed at getting Khyber Pass. Not way too hard, but Kosher stumped me but got it later. 100%.. Please try my quizzes out.

*facepalm* Got stuck for nearly 2 minutes trying to figure out how English people had decided to spell "kangaroo"... kept trying "kangooroo", "kangoroo", and then retyping "koala" in case the test had decided to accept it any better than 15 seconds before :). Very fun quiz anyway, I love the "georgraphy by letter" concept.

"Kaiser" is not "Title for the German emperor in WWI", "Kaiser" is simply the German word for "emperor". Even if you consider it a default English term for the pre-1918 German head of state, you should not connect it exclusively with the war. The second German Empire was founded in 1871.

Just because something was used during a war doesn't mean that identifying it's use during that period means you are implying it was exclusive to that period.

It sort of does, "the exception proves the rule"; specifying "in WWI" implies outside of it, it was not, the same way "lights out after 9" implies you don't have to have them off before 9. This is nitpicky, most people should get it, but I can see how for a minority of people (who really would and should be getting it with their level of knowledge) it would be strange.

No, it doesn't. Barbed wire was a popular fortification used in WW1. That doesn't mean it has never been used at any other time or for any other reason. Football was the most popular global sport in 2001. That doesn't mean it wasn't also popular in other years.

It still misses the point. "Kaiser" was always the term used for the German emperor, not just for the 1871 iteration. The first use of the word in an older form dates from the 1st century, so it actually predates English.

Just saying, Kal, if I type in "Kalbahamut" on Google, the spell-check tries to change it to "Kalahari"... a desert on this quiz.

Couldn't remember language of Cambodia - even tried Kambodian in desperation - then remembered it was Khmer, but couldn't spell it so missed it anyway. I tried Khamer and Kahmur. Oh, well.

Khyber Pass connects Peshawar to Landi Kotal, not Pakistan to Afghanistan. Though, looking generally on a worldwide scale, the latter seems more appropriate.
