Good quiz; I think the half dozen clue could even be simply "Six."

There is a saying that says "six of one, half dozen of the other. It's based off that.

I've only ever heard it as 'six of one, half a dozen of the other', and the quiz didn't accept that. 'Half dozen' doesn't even sound grammatically correct.

Half dozen is not grammatically correct, I agree.

It's like saying I'm eating "half sandwich" or "half cake".

I think the clue could have been "A beloved spouse" to clarify. I also went straight to "other half", which was accepted for the following clue, but I couldn't get to "better half" with that clue.

I've heard of Yosemite, but you gotta remember: America DOESNT = the World. Should I be expecting you to guess the name of an obscure Australian item just because it's the picture of a jetpunk quiz?

You mean, Uluru AKA Ayers Rock? Yeah, I think that's reasonable. Half Dome is an iconic natural landmark in Yosemite, arguably the US's most famous national park. Its strange shape makes it very recognizable and is a mecca in the sport of rock climbing. If that doesn't sway you, here's the Australian "60 Minutes" airing a feature cover story on Alex Honnold free soloing Half Dome. All that said, if you don't like something, rate the quiz and make a better one if you're so certain about what does and doesn't belong.

Sorry but they are totally not comparable. Perhaps as interesting landmarks, but not by international fame. I come across Uluru/Ayers rock perhaps several times a year. And have not come across half dome even once in my life. I would say internationally Uluru/Ayers rock is comparable to Grand canyon.

Remember something might be huge in your country, that does not mean it is internationally so. Sometimes something deemed small and insignificant locally has international fame, while things that are huge locally are hardly known abroad.

I don't think "an Australian made a documentary on this" translates to "this is well known in Australia", there are plenty of documentaries on topics the average person in that country wouldn't have heard of.

Look, I'm from the US, born and bred, lived here my whole life, and I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable person, and I can't say as I was familiar with the Half Dome before this quiz either. I wouldn't even put it in the top ten of the US's most well-known natural landmarks.

I'm pretty sure that the Half Dome is not HALF as well known as Uluru / Ayer's Rock.

Talking about Australia, Uluru is easily in the top 5 best known landmarks if not THE best known.

The Half Dome is probably not even in the top 50 in the USA...

A lot of people aren't from the USA you know. I could show you a random landmark from my country, and I guess you'd never know what it is.

I'm more surprised that centrehalf isn't accepted for football position (or make it more clear that it's the US version called football and not the rest of the world version called football. Also: 50 cents is half a euro.

I don't think the Super Bowl is the only sporting event to have a half time. In fact, every single American football, football (soccer), rugby union, rugby league, hockey, ice hockey, and I suppose basketball and netball game have a half time (those are all the ones I think of). I think the clue for 'half-time' should be changed to something like 'Intermission in a sports match'. Not that exactly, but that was off the cuff.

Perhaps it's true that the pre-decimal halfpenny was retired in 1969 - certainly it ceased to be minted in 1967. But when the currency was decimalized in 1971, the new coinage included a halfpenny, and it was in circulation for many years - until 1984. I remember having halfpennies, and I remember them being withdrawn (and everyone being convinced it was a mistake that would devalue the currency).

The pronunciation was always a bit eccentric, for those not accustomed: ha'penny for the singular, ha'pence for the plural.

Agreed, I remember using half penny coins as a kid, and I wasn’t born until the late 70’s. The question probably just needs a slight reword, I still knew what answer the QM wanted. Tiz a good quiz.

Albeit I am another who had no clue on the Yosemite question.

Optimists see the glass as half full.

Pessimists see the glass as half empty.

As a nerd, I have seen that the glass has 50% water and 50% air, therefore it is 100% full.
