	Sorry but "onset" does not really have that definition... it's more of the beginning of a sickness or malady.

	Montyque and Oldbogie, I see no problem with those clues. I used Merriam Webster.

	You can pique one's curiosity, but pique is not a synonym for curiosity.

	Strangely, I found most of these easier to solve by ignoring the left-hand column of clues. Fun QU+iz!

	The Big Queasy is a pretty accurate description of New Oreleans.

	The "acid's opposite" one stumped me as I thought that I must be misspelling alkaline. Now I feel stupid.

	Really liked the baseball/Lafayette one!

	Although both words mean "start" Google's Ngrams agrees with @Montyque and @WeaselKing1000. "Outset" is used predominantly wen talking about a journey. "Onset" is used with the start of an attack, illness, winter, etc.

	Helped that we had one of those Qu- huts on my high school campus. And I agree that the onset definition of beginning leans toward something that can/will "set on" you (attack, illness), not something that you set (out) on (journey, etc.)

	While we're at it, risque doesn't necessarily mean indecent, and the perforated part of the paper clue could be misleading. Overall, I liked the quiz.

	Stingray:	Aug 27th, 2012 at 20:23 GMT		3 points
	Torque is not exactly a force created by rotation (although I've seen such definitions). Maybe it would be better to change it to "moment of force".

	Ok everyone, I've been outvoted on the 'onset' clue so I changed it. Thanks for the input!

	@LTH Nice one! And sorry if I was snarky about your source there, I have a thing about MW. :D

	nethsen:	Aug 27th, 2012 at 23:12 GMT		-1 points
	When I looked at the example (ash --> quash) I thought the qu had to be at the beginning.

	Bobman1:	Aug 27th, 2012 at 23:22 GMT		2 points
	Clever and fun quiz, but I didn't really even read the left hand column clues in most cases--the right side had most of what I needed, making it mainly a "do you know the definition" quiz. Not sure how to make it more challenging, except maybe reduce the time.

	This __iz was rather __eer. Just kidding, it was __ite good.

	Azazello:	Aug 28th, 2012 at 01:24 GMT		7 points
	Surprised not to see comments about the "separated perforated paper" hint. Perforation is by no means a prerequisite to tearing, and "separation" just confuses things further. I think there's a lot of room for improvement here.

	Ulkomaalainen:	Aug 28th, 2012 at 12:49 GMT		1 point
	Logic works the other way round. Yes, you can tear apart paper that isn't perforated, but that doesn't mean that the clue is wrong. Much in the same way that being cut into slices isn't a prerequisite for a pie being a pie.

	alistardragon:	Aug 28th, 2012 at 14:01 GMT		1 point
	I've been watching too much True Blood . . . my first thought for 'title for Lafayette' was 'queer'.

	OliveGreen:	Aug 28th, 2012 at 18:11 GMT		1 point
	Azazello is right, and that was exactly the comment I was about to make. "Separated perforated paper" is bizarrely specific for "tore." The answer is in the bottom three for people not because Sporclers don't know about torque, but because no one would derive "tore" from such a ludicrous clue. Why say "perforated" anyway? That's what takes it from maybe an OK clue to an absolutely stupid one. The rest of the quiz was fun, but that clue is definitely lowering my rating.

	I don't like to be nitpicky, but a force caused by rotation should either be centrifugal or Coriolis. Torque is a force that causes rotation, not the other way around. The simpler "moment of force" (suggested by Stingray) works well too. On the whole I enjoyed the quiz.
