"conditions" makes me think of disease/disorder etc.

Changed it to "phenomenons"- does that work better? I wasn't sure how to title it.

Plural of "phenomenon" is "phenomena" — other than that, I think it's a good title, & a good quiz! Though "navel-gazing" seems a bit confusingly out of place with the rest, even with the extra hint (it was my first thought, but I didn't bother to guess it).

OK, changed title/description... Not sure about the navel-gazing, may delete it depending what others think. Thanks so much to all for your help/suggestions!!!

Thinking about it, I went ahead and switched the navel-gazing one out since it really did not fit, and added a new one. once again- Thanks, I haven't done many of these quizzes yet and I'm learning a lot about what works and what doesn't.
