	I think these answers are a bit unspecific. For example, instead of just allowing "temple" you should have to get "temple of artemis" or "temple at ephesus". "Zeus" and "pyramid" are a bit vague too. And I think "Pharos" was the island where the lighthouse was located, so maybe just "pharos" would be a bit vague too.

	Brett, I think what you're trying to say is they are smart and you lack intelligence.

	@ Will: Is that what he said? I couldn't figure it out.

	Maybe Brett Brett doesn't learn anything at school (like grammar, spelling, punctuation) because he spends too much time on Sporcle. Only, I can't work out why he's here if he thinks it makes you a geek.

	The blisteringly radiant sunspot of Brett Brett's mid September rants were only around for but a moment. He was a riddle wrapped in a question, wrapped in an enigma. And then wrapped in a crepe. With strawberries and chocolate syrup.

	Tom, Pharos would be vague, but the word became synonomous with the lighthouse - in fact, in many languages, Pharos is the root of the word lighthouse. I agree that temple is vague. Good quiz.

	In what sense was the Mausoleum in Ephesus?

	A quiz I keep returning to and one day, maybe, I will get them all!!

	Does anyone think this is a little long for the quiz? After a minute I had five of them, and an extra four minutes was going to make no difference whatsoever!

	"Temple" is too vague to be rewarded as is just typing "Zeus". Also as the name suggests the Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus is in Halicarnassus not Ephesus. Perhaps the location should be listed as Asia Minor/Turkey.

	the zeus is fine because you still have to know that it was zeus. the temple is the only non specific one. But the great pyramid of giza was way too specific

	gelatochickalato:	May 9th, 2009 at 17:38 GMT	1 point
	wayyy too specific. i said great pyramid at giza and it didn't take it. and collosus at rhodes can also be called a lighthouse

	I am mad because I typed "Colossus" and it would not accept because you had to add "At Rhodes" Same for Great Pyramids

	zwieblekopf:	Jul 22nd, 2009 at 21:59 GMT	0 points
	the pyramids one is way to specific

	Thank you Sid Meier's Civilization for at least a few of the answers.

	cheesecake:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 21:06 GMT	1 point
	it accepts pyramid

	Time should be shorter and the quiz should be more difficult in the sense that everyone else is saying. Otherwise, good quiz.
