I guess we can't accept "Tao" for "Taoism."

Probably not because it is a word chain quiz.

You need to allow Daoism for Taoism

Only if Tibed is accepted by the Dali Lama.

I would change the last question. Rawalpindi is not the twin city of Islamabad; it is adjacent to it. Twin/Sister cities to Islamabad are Seoul, Abu Dhabi, Amman, Beijing, and Jakarta. I only knew of Seoul and it wasn't accepted nor did it fit the other words so I got it wrong because the question is poorly worded. I believe it should be changed.

There are multiple meanings of the term "twin city": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_city

Level 80

Rawalpindi and Islamabad are monozygotic twin cities.

The Minnesota Adjacents would be a better baseball team name anyway. Are most twins created thousands of miles apart bearing no relation to each other?

+1 I tried abu dhabi but that wasnt a single word though.

twin city having two meanings indeed makes the clue not be incorrect. But is it the most common/used meaning? (That is usually the way on jetpunk isnt it, if there is some less known alternative option, go for the more known ;) )

I have only heard of twin cities as two cities from different places in the world, that form a partnership, to form friendships, exchange culture, support eachother etc. (practically all of our cities has a twin city)

Never heard of the other term, which indeed after looking it up is not wrong, but I doubt if it is the more know term. I can't say for certain obviously, I havent interviewed the entire planet ;) But my bet would be on the other term. (but maybe in america the other one is more known, since twin cities are more popular in europe)

lol bro, chill. Pakistanis (like me) will strongly disagree with you. They are twin cities, actually, like Tokyo and Yokohama, or Tel Aviv and Jaffa

How is it Brunei can't be considered as one of the answer for having a sultan as a ruler?

Level 63

Nov 10, 2020

Because Brunei doesn't start with 'o' and end with 'n.'

Level 63

Feb 10, 2023

It is hinting at a specific country that you have to guess. In this case Oman, not Brunei.
