Excellent quiz. Could just be me but I could have used a wee bit more time. Spent a lot of time trying to figure out the first category - because I thought you were looking for something like gods and goddesses, not planets!

"Capital cities" didn't work. Apparently that wasn't specific enough, so I tried "state capital cities". Nope. Okay, I give up. What was the answer? "State capitals". Are you kidding me?

Not that it would have been hard to guess, but I got "seas" because after typing "planet" the answer registered and I kept typing "s"," and then the next answer I went to was "Earth".. so I had "sea"

Me neither. I kept guessing countries near the other three, cause I figured there was some connection I just wasn't getting. Was pretty sure it was unlikely a piece of paper was called a pakistan or a russia, though.

There was a huge controversy after the 2000 US presidential election over whether to count the "hanging chads", those circles that appeared to have been punched by the voting machines in Florida, but hadn't completely fallen out. The results were so close in Florida that the outcome of the election greatly depended on whether or not to count them, and how much of the chad had to be hanging to be counted. Considering all that happened during the next president's term - 9/11, the war in Iraq etc., - those silly hanging chads had an effect on much of the world.

There is no nougat in a Mars bar. There is caramel and some other creamy stuff but no nuts. Nougat from Montelimar is made of egg white and honey and always has nuts. A famous chocolat bar with real pieces of nougat is Toblerone. Maybe Mars bars in the US have nuts?
