Not going to feature my Saudi Arabia Country Quiz? :( I followed the exact format you used before. I think it's probably easier than this one, too, though maybe that's because I've never been to Austria.

There are two ways of spelling Austria in German - Österreich and Oesterreich, so that's two ways for starters. Accepting the former without the umlauts is hardly unfair, or accepting it without double-r is reasonable (in my opinion).

Österreich with an Ö is the one correct form in German, while the Oe version is rather only tolerated if the Ö is not available. That is the case in English of course, so it's okay to accept Osterreich or Oesterreich. But the other letters exist all in the same way in English. Why even ask the question if you don't need to enter the right (or right-est) answer?

You can just write Strudel, though. It will save you time. Although most people refer to it in Austria as Apfelstrudel, since there are many different Strudels, typing Strudel will just save you time.

It didn't save me time, because I wrote apfelstrudel at first, and then I had to go back and erase apfel.

But what counts, is, what it was back in those days. That's why Mozart should be excluded. Salzburg was an own country, when Mozart was alive. Neither austria, nor germany.

Fine. So according to you, I don't think we should consider George Washington (1732), Thomas Jefferson (1743), John Adams (1735) and Benjamin Franklin (1706) as "Americans" anymore, as they were all born before the US became independent in 1776. What counts is, what it was back in those days...

What other country existed before USA became independent? If there was a country, that existed before the USA, then no, i wouldn't consider those people to be from the USA.

Look at it that way: If i die now and austria gets run over by germany after my death, for example, i wouldn't want to be considered german.

Before the USA became independent, they were part of the British Empire. If you don't consider Mozart as an Austrian (because Salzburg was an own county at the time he was born), then Jefferson and Washington shouldn't considered as Americans but as British people, as they were born in British colonies, which would later become part of the USA.

People consider Mozart as an Austrian, because Salzburg is no longer independent. There is nothing wrong with that, even if it is not historically correct. The same mistakes are made with Gandhi (as Indian), Leonardo da Vinci (as Italian) or Confucius (as Chinese).

This is so daft. The quiz is about what is now and what has been the case in the region encompassed by what is now Austria. Nowhere does it say anything about Mozart's nationality. Salzburg is currently in the country of Austria and as a matter of fact The Magic Flute was composed when Mozart was living in Vienna. Contemporary English sources referred to him as being German. But of course since Germany did not exist as a country at the time that was simply a reference to his ethnicity.

Why are you trying to win an argument against someone named "macie22austria" by stripping American patriots of their nationality? Pretty sure she's not American and doesn't care.

I think you’ve got everything wrong there kalbahamut! The argument about American patriots was only brought up to reply against ridiculous requests aiming at not considering Mozart as Austrian. So what if he/she doesn’t care? It’s a comment section were everyone is open to say whatever they want, especially when the quizmaker is trying to make a point, no matter if someone got « austria » in their username or not!!!

For the former currency-question I tried Krone, Gulden, Taler and Groschen, just for fun. Nothing worked. It´s perfectly clear, what the quizmaster means, but stricly speaking all answers above would be correct.

It's just an alternative spelling since English keyboards and others don't have the ß. Often the ß is replaced with ss.

Have already said this in the German version of this quiz but will say it again: I think the description "Scarred" F1 champion is disrespectful and should be altered to something like "3-time F1 champion".

Then, I shall use the exact same reply: explain how saying that someone is "scarred" is disrespectful? It IS NOT an insult... it is a physical description!
jmellor13

Level 67
Oct 6, 2020
Eh...I don't know. It seems unnecessary to include the "scarred" if the answer is apparent from the other information. I think it's generally not a great idea to reference someone's unusual physical features without a good reason. You wouldn't (or shouldn't, at least) introduce someone as "my obese friend" or "that scarred guy." I don't really think it's a big deal on an online quiz, but I can understand where MiaMaus is coming from.
