for something that says "there's no such thing as this" I think Free Energy should be acceptable or the question should be rephrased if necessary. Free energy doesn't exist so it does fit the question.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch" is an idiom.

Level 68

Jul 4, 2012

ah, okay, I figured it was going to be something like that, but I had never heard of it before.

Level 94

Jul 10, 2012

The idiom is actually "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." One of those rare occassions where the use of 'ain't' is actually correct...

Level 85

Aug 29, 2022

TANSTAAFL ya know!

Level 73

Sep 14, 2021

Maybe I'm in a philosophical mood but what I immediately thought was "There's no such thing as free will". I suggest the question be modified to "There's no such thing as a this" to remove that answer. (You can't have it as an alternate answer because of the will/willy conflict.)

Free enterprize?

Level 41

No Born Free? :-P

Level 19

Aug 27, 2012

free lunch could it the answer also be free ride

Level 67

Nov 9, 2022

And free meal

Level 86

Not if you know The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress.

How about taxfree for duty free?

Level 69

Jul 2, 2017

Level 72

Jun 4, 2024

Another one for tax-free. And free ride instead of free lunch. In real life I have on ever heard of "ride". When seeing the answer was lunch, I vaguely remember I had seen that before on this site maybe even this quiz, but have not heard of it besides that.

Since when are conspiracy theories given as objective clues? If you think the Freemasons control everything you've been spending too much time on the internet and not enough time in real life.

Level 73

Jan 14, 2023

Even if the clue is meant tongue in cheek, Masons experience ongoing discrimination and it really would be best to change this clue. Even just out of respect for those who died in Nazi concentration camps. Thank you.

Level 69

Jun 4, 2013

should add a clue: "Freedonia" from Marx Brother's Duck Soup!

Level 81

Jun 12, 2013

Please consider "cage free" in addition to "freerange."

Level 81

Jul 2, 2013

Tried "free loving" and "commitment free" for polyamory. whoops.

Level 81

Jul 4, 2015

and what about "free ride" in place of "free lunch?"

Level 74

Jul 4, 2015

I think "free ride" can be used in many ways such as, "No more free rides for you" or "I wish I was the owner's son so I could get a free ride, too," etc. "There's no such thing as a free lunch" is a recognized idiom. (Also, "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.") This is just my humble opinion which, of course, is always correct. ;-)

Level 81

Jul 4, 2015

I guess the free lunch idiom is more popular, but there's at least one book with the free ride idiom as a title.

Level 86

Jan 10, 2018

And the "free lunch" idiom is sprinkled throughout Robert A. Heinlein's books.

Level 63

Feb 22, 2014

Can you please help us taking this quiz by improving one of your questions?

When you asked for "Oft-requested song at concerts" ... I was trying to think of some name for an Encore ... and came up empty-handed ... I think your clue is too general for the answer here ...

If you are going to the trouble of saying "Song by Tom Petty" ... then can you please just do the same by using the clue "Song by Lynyrd Skynyrd"?? Or if you think that is too easy, then could you please consider evolving the question to "oft-requested song at Southern Rock Concerts"?

Thanks for taking this into consideration!

Level 43

Jun 22, 2014

If you've gone to a concert at least once in your life, you'd know. At the end of every concert, people request Free Bird. Get out there more dude.

Level 76

Jul 9, 2015

Here the song to request is Paranoid.

+13

Level 80

Aug 29, 2022

I've been to plenty of concerts and never heard of Free Bird before. Might be a thing in another country but not where I'm from.

Level 88

Aug 30, 2022

I don't recall ever NOT hearing this song requested at concerts, even when it's obviously in jest.

Level 74

Nov 9, 2022

I have been to several dozen concerts and Free Bird has not been played at a single one

Level 68

Nov 9, 2022

Nonsense. I've been to scores of gigs and never seen any requests for Free Bird. Not even at Springsteen shows, where people often hold up signs with song requests.

Level 59

Jul 5, 2014

Yeah, Freebird was the easiest one on here. It's extremely well known as an over-requested song.

Level 72

Aug 30, 2019

never even heard of the song. And how is it requested, at random concerts? so with bands for which it is not their song? (I actually dont see how you can request a song at a concert, how are the guys on stage ever gonna hear you..)

Level 71

Jul 7, 2014

yeah... it was that easy that it rates 48%...if it helps mathdrew, I've been to heaps of concerts and have never heard it referred to as Free Bird either lol.

Level 55

Jul 4, 2015

I only knew it because of David Spade.

Level 77

Nov 9, 2022

Been to many gigs, and I'm familiar with the song "Freebird" but I have never heard of this situation. Suspect it may be a tradition in either a specific part of the world and/or music genre. Why not mention the group in the clue?

Level 25

swimming "event" makes me think of the olympics. Swimming stroke would be much more clear

+12

Level 74

Jul 15, 2014

But "freestyle" isn't a stroke. It's an event where competitors are "free" to use any stroke they wish. As it turns out, all swimmers at the top of the world use the "crawl" stroke

Level 69

Jul 6, 2015

did not know this

Level 85

Aug 30, 2022

Never realized this either, but thinking about it now, it makes perfect sense.

It be pretty funny, if there was ever a swimmer who knew he was going to finish dead last, to swim all 4 different strokes (and maybe even throw in a few others he made up) in the freestyle event just to make this point.

Level 66

Aug 30, 2022

Where I come from freestyle is a stroke. I have heard it called the Australian crawl. Wikpedia calls it front crawl, which is just creepy.

Level 76

Aug 23, 2014

Adultery can't happen with free love (by definition!); it can do with polyamory.

Level 71

Nov 20, 2014

I agree with the person above: no such thing as a free ride is also an idiom.

Level 55

Jul 4, 2015

"Road without traffic lights or stop signs" I literally read that as meaning a road without painted lines and also without any legal restrictions at all. That you simply meant a motorway just never occurred to me!

I've just realised I msread "version of computer solitaire", I thought it said "software" so I thought "Freeware". Kicking myself because I've played and won over 10,000 games of Freecell.

Level 72

Aug 30, 2019

Yea I thought of a place where there usually would be traffic lights but not on this occasion,so free crossing and something similar. No off a road that goes straight and doesnt have roads that cross it so there is no need for traffic lights.

It really sounds like the absence of traffic lights is a key feature. while that is just a logic consequence not a prerequisite that makes something a freeway. (plenty of roads without them that arent a freeway, like in a residential area.) (now it sort of feels like "place without elephants" answer : "a bank" well yes there are no elephants there, but there is no reason for them to be there...)

Level 59

Jul 7, 2015

free market and capitalism are two separate economic systems

saying they are the same is like saying socialism and communism are the same thing

Level 67

Nov 17, 2015

In South Africa we call it "Freedom of Speech"

Level 79

Dec 11, 2015

It's called that here in the US as well.

Level 66

Feb 20, 2016

So only 24% know about the Free Tibet movement but 41% know about freebasing cocaine? Ugh...

Level 82

Sep 12, 2018

Free Tibet. *With purchase of a another Tibet of equal or greater value.

Level 55

May 29, 2016

Patrick Henry said "Give me liberty or give me death."

a better clue for "Live free" would be "New Hampshire motto" or something to that effect.

Level 70

Jul 2, 2017

Interesting that 'Scot Free' is derived from 'Shot Free' that came from the use of Scandinavian 'Skatt' meaning 'Tax'. So it originally meant 'Tax Free'.

Level 69

Apr 27, 2018

What about adding the military forces of the government-in-exile led by Charles de Gaulle during WW2 ? :)

How about adding: "Going commando"

Level 67

Jul 4, 2020

I feel like I've always heard "there's no such thing as a free meal". Just me?

Level 83

Aug 30, 2022

same, I tried "meal" for that exact reason

Level 66

Nov 9, 2022

Same here. I think it should be accepted.

Level 64

Oct 5, 2021

Never been to a concert where Freebird was requested.

Next time, try Free Nelson Mandela. Brilliant

Level 80

Aug 29, 2022

A bit disappointed that Free Parking from the monopoly board didn't make the quiz. Would be a much better question than the Free Bird one.

Level 91

Aug 30, 2022

I always find it amusing when people whine in the comments about not knowing an answer. Learn something and go on about your day!

Level 68

Nov 9, 2022

like you have learned that Free Bird is hardly ever requested at concerts you mean?

Worst clue ever IMO

Level 82

Nov 9, 2022

cledun2 is thoroughly amused at your comment.

Level 74

Aug 30, 2022

Can meal also be an acceptable type in for lunch? It's the phrase I'm more familiar with at least.

Level 90

Sep 14, 2022

I also tried free meal first before getting it right.

Level 63

Aug 31, 2022

Who makes the final decision about if any changes or additions are made to a nice Quiz like this one?

I'd like to see one added for:----> What to call out when playing tag and you've been found --> "Ollie, Ollie ...._____?

Recall the answer ----> "Oxen Free" ?

I agree there should also be

a) Born Free (movie about lioness Elsa)

And consider changing clue words for Free Bird to:

b) Oft-requested song @ S.Rock Concerts (is a better clue)

And is there some Jet Punk limit to the number of clues possible for any Quiz ? or not ?

Level 80

Sep 1, 2022

I have traveled many an interstate, devoid of traffic lights or stop signs, that is far from free (tolls).

"I want to stop at the duty free shop!" ...oh, great. Now I'm going to have that little ditty in my head all day! ;)

Level 66

Sep 18, 2022

Only ever heard it as a free meal, not a free specified meal.

Level 68

Nov 9, 2022

Duty free stores are also in airports

Level 72

Nov 9, 2022

There's literally a book called "No such thing as a free ride", and it IS an idiom to hitchhikers.

Those saying "no such thing as a free lunch" is an idiom? Well I've never even heard that one. Heard the "Free Ride" one a million times though.

Level 81

Nov 9, 2022

It's a common misconception that capitalism = free market. You can have a capitalist system, where the means of production are in private hands, with regulation... in fact nearly all capitalist economies do have regulation.

Shaqs Greatest Weakness = ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Level 67

Nov 10, 2022

I thought Shaq's greatest weakness would be aliens or something like in Space Jam (was he in that movie?)

Also never heard of the song Free Bird, but at least this was easy to guess.

Level 63

Nov 21, 2022

Please accept meal for lunch.

Level 68

Mar 17, 2023

No such thing as a free lunch? BS, my lunch today was free. It was free of lettuce, tomato, meat, cheese, and everything else that isn't bananas or peanut butter.

Also if a free lunch at a hotel or conference isn't free, then nothing really is, because everything has a cost associated with it. To deny the existence of free lunches renders the word 'free' basically meaningless.

That's exactly what they want you to think.

Should probably also accept "free meal" for free lunch, I've (and some other commenters apparently) only heard free meal before, not free lunch.
