Was the "common sense required" in the description trying to trick you? I've never heard of Hellas Basin but my guess was hot, based on Hellas being an ancient word for Greece. Same with Tierra del Fuego; I did know that one, but there's going to be a lot of people that don't know the island and just link Fuego = Fire.

I think it means common sense as far as what constitutes hot and cold. Probably in anticipation of someone saying “actually all of these place are very hot relative to absolute zero, and I’ve actually been to a sauna on Baffin Island...”

I think this quiz might perhaps be better if it was limited to just real places, not necessarily limited to Earth, but the inclusions of fictional places alongside real places is kinda confusing

It's just a question of whether you've heard of those places or not. If you know what the names refer to, you probably know whether they are hot or cold. Fictional/non-fictional isn't really relevant.

For what it's worth, the 6 least frequently guessed answers are all non-fictional.

I wouldn't say it is confusing, but it would be more educational if the were real locations. On the other hand this gives variety. Personally I would just do one fictional place. As a surprise/to keep people on their toes while the rest of the quiz keeps it essence

Really confused about the Jejunum. Are we talking about the anatomic part? If so human temperature is considered hot?
HyddenRizz

If you visited somewhere (e.g. Spain) and it was 37 degrees, you would say it was really hot, so I guess that's the logic and the reference point for these temperatures.

In reality, body temperature is the normal temperature for the body, so it's neither hot or cold, relative to itself. It's a tautology to say but you're technically correct, just not in this quiz.

I had never seen the term before and didn't realize it was a body part. I thought maybe it had something to do with Jeju Island in South Korea. I wasn't sure if Jeju was hot or cold, but I figured it was probably warmer than the rest of the country and so guessed correctly despite my ignorance.

I didn't know it's a human body part either, but I thought it was a fictional place named for Gehenom (hell), so I got that right.

Betelgeuse is both hot and cold, as its atmosphere contains both incredibly hot and relatively cool gases. While its surface is hot at about \(6,000^{\circ }\) F (\(3,300^{\circ }\) C), the star's outer atmosphere has superheated spots that can reach over \(8,500^{\circ }\) F (\(4,700^{\circ }\) C), while vast regions also contain very cool gas.   Hot regions: The star's atmosphere has superheated spots, or "hot spots," which are much hotter than the surface. Some parts of the upper atmosphere can be over \(20,000^{\circ }\) F (\(11,000^{\circ }\) C).  Cool regions: Despite the surface and spot temperatures, the star's outer atmosphere also contains cold gas clouds that have been expelled from the star's surface, with temperatures as low as \(190^{\circ }\) F (\(-123^{\circ }\) C).  Temperature variations: The atmosphere is very dynamic, with the temperature and composition of gases constantly changing due to the star's activity, like its bubbling and pulsating.
