| A good quiz, but I think it needs a little more time. |

| Agreed- great quiz, great idea. I'd add a minute or two, but I had fun regardless. |

| A good quiz, but I'm guessing actives should be activities and the birds mentioned are pretty global and not just American. |

| I spent my last few minutes trying random combinations of letters for the "short seed capsules" and "stick used to serve porridge". I think it's a great quiz, but it's kind of a shame to have two really obscure words on it. |

| I'll admit that the porridge stick may be still somewhat obscure… but 40 years ago, The Galloping Gourmet greatly increased its popularity outside of Scotland. You'll find it now in any decent cooking equipment catalogue. (But you may find it under its other spelling, where an I is used instead of the U.) |

| sharpies are also worldwide, well you get them in the uk anyway. Does anyone actually use the word 'sporter'? I've certainly never heard it |

| This quiz was very very tough. The only thing that came to my head was "Sporcle". |
 | Booger: | Oct 22nd, 2011 at 19:24 GMT | | 5 points |
| How about "speckle"? Also, "A furry bag that hangs in front of a man’s kilt" is quite the disgusting clue. ;) |

| Respectfully disagree. I'm definitely not a genius, but I happened to know the porridge one. Plus, I like learning new words from Sporcle. If you always got 100%, what's the point? |

| Brilliant idea for a quiz, and definitely 5 globes! I hope it doesn't seem too fussy if I add that you could flag up the R in SPARKLE, and that your definition of APOSTLE is not really correct: it really means Messenger. |

| @WyvernSabres: its not supposed to be a definition, its a clue, and that clue seems to work pretty well, seeing as people(myself included) have gotten it....great quiz! |

| @teddylupin_snape: The clue was changed after my comment, and before yours! It used to say something like "Someone who believes passionately in a cause", which was only guessable because we knew four of the letters. |

| For some reason I was really hoping "monocle" would be on here. Maybe that's because it's currently 12:43 am where I live. |

| Somehow "spirtle" sounds like a Pokemon! |

| Slovenia is the country to the north west of Croatia. It is only one of the countries that border Croatia to the north. Hungary being the obvious one while for many coastal parts of Croatia the border to the north is with Bosnia-Herzegovina. |

| Isn't "impostor" the correct spelling? At least in my Webster's dictionary it appears thus. ("Imposter" is listed, but it has a meaning related to taxes or duties). Or is "imposter" an impostor for "impostor"? |

| I've never heard of "sporter" as a word for sportsman/woman. If anything, it should be one who "sports" (ie wears) something - a "sporter of a moustache", perhaps. |
