	Wow, that was tough! Thanks for giving so much time. Great quiz, though. Well done, LTH!!

	Everything I know about counting in German I learned from the Rammstein song Sonne. Unfortunately, they stop at 9 and this quiz asks for 10

	I really, really wanted Korean soldiers to be "tloops".

	I think the timing is perfect, at least it gives thick people like me time to get the old German books from school out of the loft!

	This is amazingly well-crafted. To begin and end each ladder with the appropriate number word (with multiple additional number references), while using reasonable word choices and succinct, accurate clues -- wow. Kudos.

	nifty quiz - thank you

	It's amazing to see just how much certain languages resemble each other. Just look at the 3's! I was quite surprised that the German and Romanian were so similar to the Spanish. Coincidence? Perhaps. Perhaps it has to do with the mincing of barbarians and Romans during the Empire. LTH, you've inspired me to do some research!

	@thedropsoffire Linguists think that both Germanic and Romance languages evolved from a common ancestor, which is called Proto-Indo-European. Their names for the numbers would be familiar to speakers of many languages today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_language#Numbers

	dancastro:	Jul 16th, 2011 at 03:34 GMT		2 points
	^Exactly. And not only Germanic and Romance, also Slavic and Celtic languages and many more. So you not only find predictable similarities like German and Swedish or Italian and Portuguese, but also some unexpected ones like the Russian dyesyat' (ten) that sounds close to the Spanish diez (especially in Latin America where the z has an "s" sound).

	Just a perfect quiz in so many ways. It had to take a lot of work! It was really fun, and I learned a lot. Thank you so much.

	WCRoentgen:	Jul 16th, 2011 at 13:40 GMT		3 points
	fantastic quiz. Clearly a lot of time went into making this. It's fun, well-designed and educational. One of my favorites. Thanks.

	unfortunatly, the most commonly used german word for "one" is "ein" and not "eins". Kinda threw me off. The rest of the quiz was good though

	@Djibouti, I love that song... although I have to say I knew the German numbers from one of my teachers who'd give us a count to five in German to start behaving.

	Meltha:	Jul 17th, 2011 at 15:46 GMT		2 points
	Thank you, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusdade, for having Dr. Jones make Junior count to ten in Greek.

	Sporcla:	Jul 18th, 2011 at 10:36 GMT		2 points
	Great quiz! I enjoy the 9.7% of people (thus far) who didn't get the clue '4. In English'

	Propellerhead:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 01:55 GMT		1 point
	Very smartly done. I liked this one a lot.

	If I didn't know my numbers in English, French, German and Spanish then I probably wouldn't have got anything

	Extremely well-crafted and funny quiz! Thank you!

	This was an unbelievably great game, in every way, from the research, to the crafting, and most importantly as a player, just... enough... time, "Roku very much!" (11:53)

	dont know any latin or yiddish or whatever. so me getting some portuguese was shocking, despite seven being very similar to spanish, which i know.

	villainousheroes:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 01:43 GMT		1 point
	I would have gotten more if I had known how to spell things in other languages and if my brain had made the obvious connection between Yiddish and German numbers.
