I know no one that thinks that's the spelling...

Level 63

Aug 9, 2021

Strange comment. I'm American and I've never known anyone who thinks it's spelled like that.

Level 57

Jan 27, 2025

no we don't

Level 81

Jul 17, 2016

Thanks to Magic: The Gathering for teaching me Taiga.

Level 75

Jul 17, 2016

I played it occasionally with my family, but I must have missed that card. Had never heard the term.

Level 78

Jul 18, 2016

It was one of the mythical double lands from the first editions. The Taiga was a forest and a mountain combined.

BTW, Tundra (also in this test) was a double land too. A plain and an island.

Level 81

Jul 18, 2016

Lands are a vital component of the game and they're always printing more so I've learned names for all sorts of obscure ecozones.

The five basic lands are Island, Forest, Plains, Swamp, and Mountain.

But then the ten original dual lands, which are the best such lands ever printed in the game and so remain valuable and relevant to this day, were U/B Underground Sea, U/W Tundra, U/R Volcanic Island, U/G Tropical Island, W/B Scrubland, W/R Plateau, W/G Savannah, B/R Badlands, B/G Bayou, and G/R Taiga.

Level 72

Sep 12, 2019

Thanks to elementary/primary (choose your english word of choice..) school, for teaching me taiga and tundra.

Level 81

Oct 13, 2019

I remember learning tundra there but not taiga

Level 59

Jul 22, 2020

Thanks to school for teaching me taiga, but whatever floats your boat.

Level 81

Sep 21, 2020

I learned about the principle of buoyancy in 3rd grade. I think that's what floats most boats.

Level 56

Jul 17, 2016

Can you please accept Tasmania spelt with a Z instead of an S

Level 71

Dec 29, 2016

No. See above.

Level 59

Feb 16, 2021

If you spell it like that, it becomes a Looney Tunes character...

Level 39

Feb 10, 2017

Suprised the least known is Tiaga..

I would have thought it would be the lake in the andes..

Level 57

Apr 21, 2020

I'm sure there's one in Siberia. Hence the phrase "Siberian Taiga"

Level 83

Jan 14, 2021

Every few years, the scrub is torched to encourage new life afterwards. Hence "Taiga Taiga burning bright..."

Level 56

Groan

Level 51

Feb 19, 2017

Not too bad in that one, 3.45 left first attempt

Level 44

Jun 3, 2017

I'm surprised only 35% Taiga while 77% got Tundra right. I vaguely remember learning about them at the same time back in high school but I guess other countries might structure their lesson plans differently.

Level 85

Jun 22, 2017

I don't believe I've ever heard the term "taiga" ever before in my life?

Level 19

Jan 18, 2019

Same, Tundra and Taiga, always taught together in my country, starting from elementary school :-)

Level 72

Sep 12, 2019

I was taught both at the same time, but later on taiga hardly got mentioned anymore, while tundra got a mention here and there. Tundra is represented much stronger in my mind, while I know I was taught them simultaneously.

Level 79

Sep 23, 2021

You learn about 'gold' and 'meitnerium' in the same class, but I still think 'gold' is more well known.

Level 74

Oct 13, 2019

According to "Believe It Or Don't," which ran in Mad Magazine in the 1950s, you can cook eggs in the water of Lake Titicaca. . . . Of course you have to boil it first.

Level 50

Host of Olympics... That's a bit unprecise. Maybe add "city"?

Level 65

Oct 13, 2019

I though it was... Daoism?

Level 63

Aug 31, 2020

me too

Level 52

Apr 27, 2021

Technically speaking Taoism is a philosophy (so I've heard, I could be wrong)

Level 92

Sep 20, 2021

You are wrong, it is a religion, with gods, spirits, saints, ancestor worship, heavens and hells, practices analogous to yoga, and strong belief in magic and alchemy
