I agree. Would have said seesaw for US and teeter-totter for UK.

One thing, a crotchet is one note, semi-breve is 4 notes, minum is two notes, quaver is a half note, and semi-quaver is quarter-note

That's not right. Semi-breve is a whole note, minum is a half note, crotchet is a quarter note, quaver is an eighth note, semiquaver is a sixteenth note. In a standard bar of 4/4 there are four quarter notes (or four crotchets in the UK). It makes sense. The quiz is correct.

As an American, teeter-totter/seesaw and faucet/tap are pretty interchangeable. I wouldn't call seesaw and tap "British" words.

Yeah, they might be regional variations in the US, but they both show up. "Seesaw" and "faucet" were most common where I grew up, but "tap" certainly wasn't uncommon and, while I rarely heard people use it, I definitely knew "teeter-totter" as an alternate name.
