It's pretty good. Some clues are too vague (drivers license) and some are just wrong (The Cowboys? Please.)

@LastDamnation, I guess I just love soft serve too much to notice classic literature. But you're right, your DQ is better.
DAlexander, it's not my opinion but a Forbes.com designation. Believe me, I'm no Cowboys fan.

Technically, Diddy Kong should be accepted as an alternative for Donkey Kong. He is indeed, an ape made by Nintendo as well.

That's the best clue you could come up with for double negative? Not good. I thought it had something to actually do with that lyric, like delinquent nubile or something. Change it.

Ž, or cyrillic ж, or diphthong ZH is a different letter than Z (cyrillic 3)... at least in the original. Oh well. Good quiz!

Also, I think a better clue could have been given for the DZ one. Why not mention the movie? It's more well known. Or, I was thinking, you could have gone with Dead Zone, a Stephen King novella (I believe) that was made into a movie and then a television series.

I'm mad at myself for the ones I missed, but hey, it's 7:00 a.m. and I'm only half awake. 22 out of 26 is pretty good, considering.

Words/names like "Aykroyd" is the reason i have google on a different tab, to help me with the spelling. After all its a knowledge quiz not a spelling bee.

It might just be me, but when I think of a Dutch Oven, I think of camping and using it to cook with a fire more than using one for cooking stew in my kitchen!

I'm not exactly a Star Wars fan, but it's weird to say the least that less than 50% of people knew Darth Vader, a pop-culture icon...

Er... what I'm saying is, why would you use a famous lyric for the double negative clue when you could use something people wouldn't otherwise associate with something else? It doesn't make much sense, because we look at that clue and immediately think of the Pink Floyd song, not grammar.

Aaargh! Why does every quiz have to have obscure questions about American sports which stop me from getting 100%?
