No, the S-Bahn at least in Berlin goes right through the city centre in three different routes. It is suburban as well, but so is the U-Bahn. The Wikipedia page begins "The Berlin S-Bahn is a rapid transit railway system..."
But my understanding of "Metro" is specifically an underground railway.
"X" hasn't been used as an MPAA rating for more than 30 years. It wasn't copyrighted, so anyone could use it and it became heavily associated with pornographic movies, so in 1990 the MPAA replaced it with the copyrighted NC-17 rating.
It never clicked what the 9/5 C + 32 question was about. I guess I've never needed to know before because we don't use F in Australia. Though it would have been much easier if you'd used the correct unit for Celsius (°C). Without the degree sign, C is coulombs.
It's not that typical to write the formula that way, though. C in the formula isn't really the unit abbreviation for Celsius, it's a variable in an equation (representing "the temperature in degrees Celsius), so it's common to see it F = 9/5C + 32. The degree symbol doesn't really belong. It's probably best to write it TF = 9/5 TC + 32 or something like that, and you certainly could write it as T′ °F = 9/5 T °C + 32 °C but that's less typical.
It's not a conversion from °C to °F, though, because that's °F = 9/5 °C. One degree celsius is nine-fifths of a degree Fahrenheit, period.
Personally, I think this question is truly U.S.-centric, but I also don't think that's a problem on a trivia quiz (it's okay to occasionally have to know something about the U.S. in trivia).
Yeah, I struggled with that one too. I assumed it was the position in the alphabet (so what comes 18 letters after S) and ended up trying every letter in the alphabet before getting to N
It's kind of a silly one when a just as reasonable answer would be D, since E and W are next to eachother on the keyboard. There's no clear answer like with all the others.
Maybe I am just being nitpicky, but two of these answers should be displayed with the lower case letter, given the context of the clue. The musical term, and the number approx equal to 2.718 should always be indicated with the lower case letter, so the answer looks strange when it comes up with the capital letter.
Why was my comment deleted? All I said was I ran a bit short on time and than I usually see and hear "k" being used for 1000,-. But so did others and all their comments are still up. I didn't say anything weird or rude.
Or maybe you did delete all the comments about K/G and these are all new ones. (though I don't think the june 26 are new). Still wouldn't see why you'd do that.
I started by spamming the down arrow key and spamming A until one of the answers was correct. Then I did for B, then the rest of the alphabet. Easy 5 points.
$1000 could easily be K. I've a grand referred to as a 'K' before even in speech but never as 'G'. If anything 4G or 5G I would never assume they're talking about money.

R is if there is a parent with you.
Rated R: Restricted – Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
Rated NC-17: Adults Only – No one 17 and under admitted.

Huh?

At first the quizzes were pretty tough, but I expanded the hints and hopefully they're easier now. I'd appreciate it if you'd check them out:
