	Notice the number of questions, 54, is triple 18. 18 is a special number in Judaism.

	I don't want to be controversial here, but I'd say if you include those three areas as 'occupied', i'd include Golan Heights as well, rather than putting them in the 'Highest Mountain Range' question. I think accepting 'Europe' as one of the answers for 'Primary continent' is a little silly. Please accept surnames, e.g. 'Ben-Gurion'; and accept 'UK' for United Kingdom'. I'd personally say not all of the 12 parties listed are 'major political parties'. Finally, I'd change 'Oldest city in the world' to something slightly less definite - Damascus also has a fairly strong claim to that title! Thanks for the quiz, though - I really enjoyed doing it!

	make the answers show up in a different color...Black is really hard to see with the dark blue background....also, you put "Drafted at age..." twice

	agrey22:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 21:58 GMT	5 points
	For the day of independence yom haatzmaut should also be accepted

	Aventurine1:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 22:01 GMT	-1 points
	so fun!!!!! Golan should be accepted for Golan Heights.i really enjoyed it!

	The coloring is really hard to read. I agree with everything that's already been said.

	2 sporcles due to horrible colour scheme - drafted is in twice too

	MileHiJo:	Mar 25th, 2010 at 03:04 GMT	4 points
	Good idea for a quiz but needs better execution. A lot of answers should allow alternate spellings/forms. For example, Ben-Gurion or Ben Gurion or David Ben Gurion should be accepted for David Ben-Gurion. Same thing with Golda Meir (her last name only should be accepted). Or different spellings for Yisrael Beitenu or Hatikva (without the h at the end). And accept Meretz for The New Movement-Meretz, etc. But good idea.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Excellent trolling.

	RebeccaAMax:	Mar 25th, 2010 at 05:39 GMT	2 points
	Please accept "Yisrael Beitenu" and as an alternate romanization. (The Hebrew spelling has no second yod in the second word.) Last names, and alternates for "United Kingdom," please. Column format, as in the other country quizzes, would be nice. As was mentioned, add Golan to the occupied areas section, and while you're at it, drop the scare quotes. Independence Day is celebrated on the Jewish calendar, so please accept 5 Iyar. Capitalize the country name in the title.

	Pepikx:	Mar 25th, 2010 at 12:25 GMT	2 points
	Please accept UK for United Kingdom.

	Change the color in the answer blocks. The black font against the dark blue hardly shows.

	dandan44sou:	Mar 26th, 2010 at 00:42 GMT	4 points
	The currency should be "New Shekel" though i recommend you accept shekel and then show new shekel

	RebeccaAMax:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 21:27 GMT	1 point
	Please drop the scare quotes around occupied.

	segacs:	Jun 22nd, 2010 at 20:36 GMT	2 points
	Please rename "occupied territories" to "disputed territories" (since occupied is a politically-charged word). Also, Judea and Samaria should be accepted as alternate answers to those questions. Plus, in a number of places, the Hebrew alternative should be accepted, and alternate English spellings. NIS or New Shekel should work for currency. A bunch of the political parties are really loose coalitions and you should accept alternate forms e.g. Meretz should be accepted for New Movement. 5 iyar should be accepted as an alternative to May 14th for independence day, because that's when it's actually celebrated (based on the Hebrew calendar). This is a good quiz but the execution needs much improvement.

	eh...The state bird of Israel is the Hoopoe, not the dove. I'm not really sure where you got that.

	Yashidor:	Dec 22nd, 2010 at 21:49 GMT	1 point
	Thank you mmnom. I changed it. I looked back at my info and the source that I found the dove was very unreliable. Thanks again.

	I don't mean to be picky, but there are 54 answers to 37 questions. Also, you should take parliamentary republic for parliamentary democracy.

	Two Things 1. Please Accept "Ivrit" For National Language 2. You spelt "Hatikva" wrong there is no "h" at the end. (Or there isn't in England anyway)

	historyobsession:	May 15th, 2011 at 20:23 GMT	2 points
	Please be a little less nitpicky. I tried, for the largest freshwater lake, both Sea of Galilee, Kineret, and Kinneret. Galilee isn't a name on its own. Also, I don't know what year you put this up, but either leave out the Independence Day question or use the Jewish date of Hey b'Iyar, although they don't always use it. This year it was May 10th.

	@tomtom222: hatikvah can be spelt with a h. i've seen it spelled like that a few times. it's not an english word anyway so whether it ends in an a or h doesn't matter. the hebrew spelling of it ends with a hey anyway which makes the same sound as our h.

	TomTom222:	Jul 19th, 2011 at 18:16 GMT	1 point
	@kimm1988: At the end of the word a hay does not make a H sound, it is silent

	bsnalex:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 12:04 GMT	1 point
	i put Eretz Yisrael as the first answer, should that not be accepted?
