Really enjoyed the cluing on this quiz. Twice the tallest building was nicely phrased; One of the seven continents is a nice way to prevent arguments about Eurasia, etc. One I had the hardest time with was the line from Richard 2... couldn't come up with a name starting with E for Great Britain. < / fail>

I'm somewhat disturbed that more people get "Evergreen Terrace" and "Endor" than get "England"....

The England one is a weird clue. Sounded like a trick question, so of course I missed one of the most obvious ones. Not hard to believe.

Not really a trick. It's a famous Shakespeare quote from Richard II.

Silly Shakespeare didn't know that England wasn't an island but shared an island with Wales and Scotland.

up to probably the latter part of the nineteenth century it was common to refer to the entire island as England

But it's still an island though, even if shared.

England is ON an island, but the island itself is Great Britain. Just like how New Guinea is an island, but Papua New Guinea is a country (thankfully the geography quizzes are very forgiving of that one though).

Late 16th century, not 14th (the reference is to the play, not the king), and performed and quoted to this day. It's even referenced in the title of a 2022 miniseries about Boris Johnson.

I must be tired. I thought on the tall building question you were asking for some type of measurement equal to twice the height of the tallest building in NYC. I totally blanked out on any word beginning with an e connected to height. It's time for bed. (But I would have gotten it if you'd asked, "Once the tallest building in NYC," or something of that nature.)

I just took the quiz again and did the same thing, wondering what could be twice the height of the tallest building in NYC. And I'm not tired, so it's just a glitch in my brain. I was confused by the Shakespeare quote, too. That's not a glitch, that's just ignorance of Shakespeare.

Everest is not a mountain. The mountains there are Himalayas.

I already mentioned this in many quizzes.

Everest is a mountain (hence it being called Mount Everest). The Himalayas are the mountain RANGE, but Everest is a mountain. By definition a mountain is: "a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak." So yes, Everest is a mountain, and it is in the Mahalangur section of Himalayan mountain range.

The quiz doesn't require spaces between words, so Eldorado would have been accepted. It was for me.

To be a bit nitpicky, the "third rock from the Sun" hint is quite misleading, as there are over 30 known asteroids that orbit strictly between the Sun and Earth, many of them over a kilometer in diameter.

It's a pretty well known saying, there was even a TV show called that. It's more of a nickname for Earth than a 100% scientifically accurate statement. Kind of like how Minnesota is known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." Technically there are more, but "Land of 11,842 Lakes" isn't as catchy.
