	It took me about 40 seconds to realize these things didn't have to START with X. I'm so used to the other blitzes I didn't read the title.

	Surely when you read the first question was numbers 1-10 you figured it out.

	A reflex triangle is imaginary, can't exist. A reflex angle is greater than 180 degrees, so can't be a part of a triangle, whose angles must add up to 180 degrees.

	Xcellent quiz!

	Wavering between disappointment that you didn't pick 40 things that start with X and acceptance that there probably aren't 40 good things that start with X. I wonder how long you spent searching before conceding you'd have to do it this way?

	Apparently Blitzen was originally called Blixem and then Blixen which you might want to include as alternatives. Here is a link to the original poem - http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poem/1312.html. Donner also used to be Dunder but obviously that isn't relevant here. Well done on finding a way to make the X Blitz - just Y and Z to go now.

	@hellofromUK: xceedingly kind of you to say so. @bazmerelda: I've added the originals and thanx for the link.

	Interesting; I'd never heard of a "reflex" angle at all (although I see through looking it up it's a fairly common term), but there is a term "convex angle," which covers everything up through 180 degrees. (http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~msuder/projects/507/node19.html)

	@TimMierz: great I've added it as an xtra answer. I'm now just going to sit here thinking of silly x words till I'm totally xhausted :)

	Slight typo under "MythologIcal river". Otherwise, 100 gold stars to you! Was wondering how you'd do X.

	Flick:	Sep 17th, 2011 at 14:25 GMT	2 points
	@mimsylou: thanx for the kind words and the good spot.

	jepson:	Sep 18th, 2011 at 18:25 GMT	2 points
	@slamb: 180 only applies in the plane, which wasn't a constraint in the question (project a triangle on a sphere and you'lll see what I mean). @Flick: Wonderful job, unfortunately other posters have already used all the [missing first vowel]x. I would use to describe it (xcellent, xceeding xpectations and so on :-))

	marpocky:	Nov 11th, 2011 at 21:24 GMT	1 point
	I don't suppose you'd consider accepting "sixty degree" and the like as a type of angle?

	Flick:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 12:43 GMT	1 point
	@marpocky: NO ! (but thanx for all of your comments on the series)

	stefanlaz:	Nov 17th, 2011 at 14:18 GMT	1 point
	no 'smallpox'?

	Flick:	Nov 18th, 2011 at 15:01 GMT	1 point
	@stefanlaz: the last cases of smallpox in the world occurred in an outbreak in Birmingham, UK in 1978 so it no longer common (thank goodness)

	Good quiz. Should add Oxfordshire to list of English counties

	shapiroadam: it is now added thanx

	I actually found this one much harder than the other blitzes - not because of the letter (though that was probably part of it), but because they didn't necessarily start with "x." Knowing it could be anywhere in the word made it harder for things to click for me. Long story short, great quiz! Fun and challenging :D

	I am a mathematician and I think exterior angle should count. Thanks.
