Why do people seem to think using Google doesn't constitute cheating? If anything, Google is the mechanism by which you COMPLETELY cheat. If you come up with an answer in any other way, you're still cheating less than if you use Google.
it's obviously refering to languages. Of course you know everything about those, but to the rest of us less fortunate westeners, they seem pretty similar.
I thought it would be Persia. But the actual result isn't completely absurd. They used to be in the same empire, they sound alike, they're right next to each other.
Those people are clearly wanting to find out about the languages and writing systems from countries thousands and thousands of miles away from where they're from and totally different to what they're used to. Using pejorative words like ignorant and racist seems unfair.
Same! I had to google it at the end because I thought that I was seeing things and that the system was not working when I kept typing Scandanavian. I'm really angry with myself. *facepalm*
Pausing a quiz at anytime to consult Google or any other reference site is CHEATING. Consulting it after you have completed the quiz to check the accuracy of a "nitpick" you wish to insert is not cheating.
I think that Castilian should be accepted for Spanish. Considering that Catalan is what the quiz taker sees, I think it's more likely for them to make a distinction between different types of Spanish as opposed to just thinking of Spanish. Everyone I took the quiz with said Castilian and not Spanish.
This gets into murky territory for me. I don't know exactly how one ties a language to a country. I know Catalan isn't a dialect of what we call Spanish, but it is a language native to a region of Spain. I think of how when we say "So-and-so speaks Chinese," we really mean "So-and-so speaks Mandarin." Cantonese is Chinese too though, albeit a much less popular Chinese language. It strikes me that "Spanish" as we use it means "Castilian," but Catalan is also a Spanish language. I'm sure there are linguists who will tell me this is all wrong from a linguistic perspective (and I'm sure they're right), but I understand the notion that Catalan is a Spanish language. At any rate, Castilian should be accepted as an answer in this quiz, as that is what the language is properly called.
What the quiz is asking is what comes up when you type the first part into google. Castilian might be a valid synonym for Spanish, but it is not what is presented in response to the partial search given in the hint.
Half-baked hacks.
....i think some don't quite get this whole trivia concept...
For example: "What's the difference between Nordic and..."
Works like a charm.
Nice quiz.
And the difference between Chinese and Japanese...
You certainly have heard of many places called shire even if you've never heard the word by itself.
