Pita is also spelled "Pitta" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pita

Level 75

Sep 17, 2015

It is not accepting Polydeuces for Castor's twin.

Level 83

Feb 18, 2016

At least your were using an alternate for the correct answer. I kept trying to figure out how Raúl worked on a "P" quiz. I read it as "Castro".

Level 27

Mar 9, 2016

I remember now Castor and Pollux are stars and sons of the god dionysus in percy jackson

Level 67

Sep 2, 2022

"In Percy Jackson"...

Level ∞

Mar 9, 2016

Polydeuces will work now

Level 61

Mar 9, 2016

So I didn't know Victoria Beckham's Spice name. But I did know something about Proust.

I can live with that.

Level 55

Mar 9, 2016

Can you accept "pitta" please?

Level 29

Mar 9, 2016

they do now

Level 87

Apr 22, 2019

I didn't know Castro had a twin brother.

Whoops.

Level 74

Feb 21, 2020

For the second column, first row, I tried "Prefix". Only now did I notice it was a sequence.

Level 61

Mar 15, 2020

For Victoria I was like "Paprikaaa???"

Level 61

Mar 15, 2020

So did polio get eradicated then

Level ∞

Dec 21, 2021

For people reading the comments, the original clue said "Disease scheduled to be eradicated in 2018".

It's still not eradicated, but it's very very close.

Level 65

Sep 3, 2022

It's been "very close" for decades. Almost every child in the world continues to get the vaccine because the disease is technically still preset in the wild mountainous region of Pashtunistan... something tells me it's going to stay that way

Level 68

Sep 8, 2022

Not nearly as close now as it seemed last December, unfortunately.

Level 71

Slightly aggrieved that Politician isn't accepted for member of the house of lords. It's not wrong.

+17

Level 74

May 4, 2021

Same with 'parliamentarian'.

Level 83

Dec 21, 2021

That's what I tried!

Level 74

Sep 2, 2022

Tried 'Pig'

Level 67

Sep 2, 2022

I tried "parliamentarian" too.

Level 60

Sep 4, 2022

And primate!

I definitely think "peer" is the only right answer. Besides, the lords are law-makers; I'd say an MP (or someone who stands for election as one) is more of a politician than the lords are.

Level 65

Hurrah for Lippi Pongstocking

Level 44

Mar 21, 2022

Maybe Piotr could be accepted? For some reason, it never crossed my mind to try with Peter, Piotr felt more authentic.

Level 64

Jun 12, 2022

With Proust, Wiki says the book is known as "In Search of Lost Time", and the original French is La Recherche which backs this up.

Level 61

Sep 2, 2022

I'd have said "ALSO known as 'In Search of Lost Time' ".

I was introduced to it as the name in the quiz.

Level 68

Sep 2, 2022

Polio is back in the US and UK, thanks to anti-vaxxers. You'll have to change the clue.

Level 65

Sep 3, 2022

You could also blame immigration from Afghanistan/Pakistan. Not so brave? Anyway, it wasn't vaccination but isolation that managed to eradicate Polio from the ENTIRE Americas in the early 1980s. That includes 3rd world countries, like Haiti for instance. By the way, it's really not that deadly or contagious, hence we haven't heard much about these latest outbreaks. I don't think they will ever eliminate it because that would mean the end of the vaccine, which almost every child worldwide has been getting for decades (the when it was present only in the mountains of Pashtunistan)

Level 43

In my opinion, the House of Lords question should accept parliamentarian as well as peer.
