Great quiz. An interesting take on a bunch of things that made me think, and learn a little, too. Lots of excellent answers, but it took me a while to get packaging, as I tried post office, packing, etc first. You are my first official editor's choice!

I absolutely loved this quiz. I had one of those Sporcle moments where I spent my two whole minutes left staring at the Runic alphabet thinking 'I know that, I know that!'. 5 stars brilliant quiz x

Nice quiz, but I think it's going to take a lot of editing to get enough equivalent answers. I think you should accept Warnings for chemical hazard symbols, for example. And I was glad you accepted money for currency.

I sort of lucked out on weather. Saw the umbrella and that's what came to mind. Amazing idea though, and perfectly executed. No idea how I got Magic: The Gathering, but awesome to see that. And the Zeppelin Symbols. And great choices on pretty much everything else. Sequel please?

The only reason I know the Om symbols is because of the new age-hippie librarian from my elementary school. He was awesome.
