Yay for 100% ! - Missed much much more on the others. Was it cheating that I wrote the words on paper next to each other? I just don't seem to be able to combine them just in my mind when there's so much space in between. Pure impossible.

I just type the two clues into the answer box and then jumble them up until I see what they are meant to be. Same method as you really, Sillie.

I always do that thing where you write the letters in a circle. For some reason I nearly always see the anagram when I do that.

The blade of the knife is the entire metal part above the handle. The cutting edge is the edge, although I also tried grind, bevel, and choil. Didn't try blade because that did not fit the clue.

Blade, n. the flat cutting edge of a knife, saw or other tool or weapon. (Oxford Dictionaries).

spelling. columbia university, columbia sportswear, british columbia, and the countries of the world quiz spell colombia with a "u" and not an "o". however the country is actually spelled colombia without the "u"

Could you accept hang and boa. I missed both clues because i typed the words in singular form. I think its a reasonable request

If you read the clue carefully, you will see it is asking for a plural answer.

"Tropical fruit" is too broad a clue. There's lots of those.

Yeah, after trying quite a few (plausibly and not-so-plausibly) tropical fruits, I gave up and actually got at it backwards - I managed to guess "Mongolia" from just "oil", and then derived "mango" from the missing letters.

I did not like this quiz because many of its hints were too broad. "Tropical fruit" could mean the desired mango, but also banana, coconut, papaya, etc. It probably took a full minute for me to guess that one clue.

5-letter tropical fruit could have narrowed down the search some.

Similar problem with COMA. I thought it was "sleep". Tried sleep, sleeping, knockout, knockedout.

Either this quiz needs more precise hints, or more time.

Got all but nose. Might ve gotten it with a few seconds more (aklready tried sone and ones..) really pleased with that! Usually I get more towards the 50% right (cause most american centered questions, like brands or food products they have there, I am never able to get) well besides geography. The second day on jetpunk I knew all the countries, while the first try I was well, actually near 50% haha 89 I believe (second time allready 120 though)

Nor should it be.

The clue is in the plural: "Constricting Snakes". Thus the answer should be too.

Just because other quizzes are more lenient with the singular/plural distinction doesn't mean they all have to be. And for this one in particular, the correct spelling of the answer is necessary to deduce the country.
