Still rididculously low (especially looking at the other stats, it is not like people did bad on this quiz overal) was really surprised. And I wonder how much of that rise all the way up to 15 was due to this comment thread

Isnt it like one of the first mayor landmarks/ building you learn about? you got the pyramids+sphinx, the colosseum and this.. (plus the confusingly similar looking and written parthenon) (and later on the eiffel tower and maybe a brief mention of some other of the 7 wonders of the world)

C'mon all you "That ain't 'Big Ben'" complainers! You know that it is the preferred answer even if technically not accurate. I'm sure you regularly relish in correcting everyone who makes this world changing mistake just so you can prove how superior you are.

It's not about being superior, it's about being correct. Many of the people who visit this site I'd imagine are sticklers for being precise, and it really is a big deal. Call it incurable pedantry or a form of autism; if you don't have it, you probably wouldn't understand

Not to mention those that think the status of Palestine, Cyprus, Taiwan and Crimea on these quizzes is part of the Quizmaster’s dastardly treaties he makes with sinister world leaders, funded by George Soros, while he cackles inside his hollowed out volcano.

Why do I keep thinking it's called the CNN tower? Sorry everybody in Canada/Toronto. Thought I had the wrong tower when that wasn't accepted. Accept just "CN" ? No word really starts with that and if you get it right that far you already know it's a tower and which one it is.

Well, that reminds me of the time that the Atlanta Braves (owned by CNN's Ted Turner) played the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series. When they played in Atlanta, the guy bringing out the Canadian flag carried it upside down. Possibly a diss reflecting Toronto's failure to name their tower properly.

Please accept Red Square for the last one, even though I got it. We associate the onion topped dome more with Red Square than St Basils Cathedral (even though they're less than 0.1 miles away from each other.)

But that dome is part of the cathedral, not the square. Also there's not one bit of square visible in the picture, but plenty of cathedral.

How about accepting Al-Aqsa (Mosque) for the Dome? It's part of the same complex
kalbahamut

Level 81
Dec 13, 2016
Different thing. Though many people often confused about this. The raised platform is known as the Temple Mount. To Muslims it is the Haram Al-Sharif. But the Dome of the Rock is near the North end of it, while the Al Aqsa Mosque is all the way over on the South end. If you know the place you shouldn't get the two mixed up. If they would accept an alternate it should be Haram Al Sharif/Haram esh Sharif. Not AlAqsa... that's incorrect.

i think the fact that the pantheon is in Paris confuses a lot of people, the "other" one, the parthenon, is in Athens
POOCH

Level 72
Dec 5, 2018
I know there is a building in Paris called the Pantheon, but it looks nothing like the building in the picture. It's square not round like the one pictured here. The round one in the picture which is also called the Pantheon is in Rome and is about 1800 years older than the one in Paris. I'm not sure how the Parthenon fits into the discussion about the Pantheon, but it is actually one of the buildings shown in the photo for the Acropolis in this quiz and you're right about it being in Athens.

What on earth has paris got to do with it? We have a restaurant here called Sphinx, but I wouldnt put that as the answer, since that is not shown in the picture.

And I still really dont get it, what does something by the same name in paris have to do with the picture. You see the picture you remember the name. And then go no that cant be the answer cause something else excists by that name? It is not like the countries are given either..

I am really confused about where the confusion would be according to your argument.

There definitely is *a* Pantheon in Paris - I should know, I live right by it - but in almost every way, if we were to speak about *the* Pantheon, it would be hard to deny that the one in Rome, being 1800 years older and more architecturally significant, takes precedence. Anyway, none of this is relevant to this quiz, but I did enjoy writing it, so there's that.

While I agree that it should be allowed for a type-in, Big Ben is not the official name of the building. It is called "Elizabeth Tower", with the bell inside being called the "Great Bell" with Big Ben being a nickname for a bell.

Huh? Do you have a source for that? I'm pretty sure the biggest ruin on the Acropolis is the Parthenon, the name of which is derived from "παρθένος" (parthenos) in ancient Greek, which means young girl of virgin, a nickname of the goddess Athena. You can find the same root in "parthenogenesis", which is a form of asexual ("virgin") reproduction.
