The way the Great Leap Forward question is worded, I first thought the answer was China, before getting Mao Zedong. Both answer's are technically correct, but only Mao is accepted.

Would be nice to have a few more difficult questions. Maybe something to do with Tuol Sleng prison, King Sihanouk or Hun Sen?

Or questions related to the Khmer Empire, besides the temple complex. Difficult questions, yes, but also showing a side often forgotten from Cambodia.

Should characters really counts as a correct answer though? Chinese has way more characters than 74.

Don't be a jerk. I'm glad that people talk about experiences they've had. I may or may not ever go to a particular country, but the world is a beautiful place to explore and I enjoy reading people's accounts. No one's boasting. Except maybe Kal, but he's a staple on here that we have all come to love, and a lot of times he adds insightful commentary when it comes to travel-related quizzes, so his contributions far outweigh the occasional boast.

Anyway, the point is, be open to learning something other than snark. Or if not, at least play nice and keep scrolling.

A language doesn't have letters. An alphabet does.

So khmer language might have more consonants or vowels than any other language, but for sure it doesn't have more letters.

I know I'm nit-picking a bit, but I was completely mislead by the question.

In Chinese languages, the tradition is to put the family name as the first name. This means that "Mao" is actually the "last name" of Mao Zedong, so it makes sense to accept that and not "Zedong." I'll leave it up to QuizMaster to decide whether to accept it though.

Yeah, accepting "Zedong" would be like asking "Who was the first President of the United States?" and accepting "George."

suggest accepting Mekhong as an alternate spelling for Mekong. In Thai and Khmer as well, the softer "g" sound is often transliterated as "k" while the harder "k" is transliterated as "kh." That's why Khmer is spelled the way it is and not as Kmer.

I'm not familiar with Khmer, it is probably similar, but in Thai the "h" after a consonant doesn't mean it is "hard" or "soft," it means that it's an aspirated consonant. Aspiration in the language can change which phoneme you are using, same as in Hindi, and unlike English- where the aspirated /p/ at the beginning of "pill" and the non-aspirated /p/ at the end of "stop" are understood by native-speakers to be the same sound, even though they're not.

"Soft" and "hard" are just vague terms laymen use in their own languages when they don't know the proper linguistic terms.

Shouldn't the Pol Pot question be "responsible for" instead of just "blamed for"... The question indicates that he might not have been such a bad guy - or is it just my lacking english skills?

I don't think he kiilled 20% of population, it's too huge. Somewhere around 5% for sure but not 1/5

Nope, it was definitely a more substantial number.

Even the lowest death estimate, which is about 1 million, would still be over 10% of the population at the time of the Khmer Rouge, but 1.5-2 million is a widely accepted estimate, which would be close to, or over a quarter of the Cambodian population at that time.
