That's why Iceland comes after Ice Age in the quiz.

Please change the photo which you use to illustrate 'IRA'. This is a para-military mural, but the flags are of Ulster and the United Kingdom, so the mural must be supporting a Protestant 'loyalist' group, e.g. UDA or UVF. If you find a similar mural accompanied by an Irish tricolour, it's an IRA mural.

I haven't seen the old clue, but I do like the new one. It's cool to see something different than a leprechaun or a shamrock.

Yeah, that was one of my favorite clues, had to stop and really look at the graph to figure out what was going on.

Doh, did about 80% of these before remembering that it was an "I" quiz. Made the remainder a bit easier!

Had no idea until I completed the quiz (with poor results) that all begin with the letter "I". I thought that was the Roman Numeral "I", indicating "one" in a series.

"island" and "economic phenomenon" were both great clues. Real thinkers.

Curious: is there something specifically Byzantine about an "icon"? I thought it was a more general term.

Byzantine Icons essentially cause the Great Schism, which split Christianity into the Catholic Church and the Byzantine Church (soon to be the Eastern Orthodox Church)

No they did not lol. Icons are still used by the West to this day, just not as much as the East. The split happened cause of the Pope's authority, the filioque and a bit of the bozo factor. And to answer the original question, the style of the icon pictured is in Byzantine style, but icons as a whole are not Byzantine or Eastern.

Great quiz, WolfCam. Really made me think, but you got me with the economic phenom.

Any reason why Constantinople doesn't work? It is, after all, a former capital city and Hagia Sophia was built in 537, more than 900 years before the fall of the city. I also tried Byzantium but after googling it, the city already had its new name before the construction began. (The sole purpose of this whole comment is to make me feel less bad about forgetting yet again that Ankara is now the capital of Turkey, not Istanbul.)

There is one reason, Constantinople does not begin with "I".

Oops. To think I always laugh at people who make that mistake on other quizzes... At least I spent at bit of time on Wikipedia and learned a few things! :)

Icon isn't just Byzantine. I'm orthodox christian from Serbia and icons are still used it should be Orthodox art instead of Byzantine

Icons were originally used in the Byzantine Church and caused the Great Schism (among other things). The Byzantine church evolved into the Orthodox church over time.

The clue for the material now being illegal is not 100% accurate. The commercial trade is usually illegal but not the material itself.

Being pedantic (cos what else is Jetpunk for?) the wooden horse isn't in the Iliad, which 'just' covers the story of the rage of Achilles and the death of Hector. The horse does get a passing mention in the Odyssey.

The second half of Chichen seems a bit out of place, considering it's the second word.

Some possibilities:

Isaac (Newton)

Iranian revolution

Indus River valley

Islam

IRA

Innocent (Pope)

Ivan the Terrible

Iroquois

Inquisition

pedant alert. Ivory isn't illegal. Trading it is. Even then, not universally.
