	Wow, "mouth organ" really threw me off. I was thinking along the line of body parts instead of an instrument. Good clue.

	One of the best quizzes I've played in a long time.

	Nice quiz. Not fond of the Alexa clue, but everything else was great.

	Could melodica also count for "mouth organ"

	Yay, Iowa!

	Thanks everyone. @TimeAndTide: xa was going to be problematic no matter what I did it seems. I considered a few of the suggestions in the archived comments but I settled on this this mostly because I found it interesting to see Sporcle's statistics on that site. @duke00: Yes, I can't find a reason why it shouldn't, it is now acceptable - and you taught me something new.

	Did anyone else guess "Pangea" for "e"?

	Dymefire:	Apr 23rd, 2011 at 17:46 GMT		1 point
	No, but I did guess 'Judea.' And I thought "burqa" was spelled with a 'K'?

	I thought you wanted a specific region. I too thought you meant an organ found in the mouth, and I think specifying a Muslim woman's garment makes more sense.

	couldn't get Antigua out of my mind.

	Good variety of anwers/clues. If you are concerned with Alexa being too obscure, you could add another hint - like "or Billy Joel's downeaster"

	The "region" clue is a little vague - was trying specific regions of the world.

	Leakeygirl:	Apr 23rd, 2011 at 18:54 GMT		12 points
	I started guessing so many subtopics of algebra that didn't work in so many different ways. :P It was one of the 5 I missed.

	Haha mouth organ was such a snap because of all the Craig Ferguson I watch.

	The algebra clue threw me off when I was thought para--oh wait...bola.. darn, -la.

	I know I played a quiz right before, so maybe I played it and they could've updated it just now... I'm not gonna get it...

	CraigBerger:	Apr 23rd, 2011 at 20:10 GMT		-2 points
	Why such an involved formula for -ra? Wouldn't 3x=15 have done the trick? I was looking for some kind of advanced equation. Trying to get something out of your math degree, I guess?

	I'm from the UK and have never heard of Kwanzaa...

	I can't believe I actually tried Oklahoma for 'state of unconsciousness >.

	Quadratic... Factors... Equation... I give up. Only people who don't study maths would get that one

	sonkab14:	Apr 23rd, 2011 at 21:34 GMT		6 points
	@aah, yup, I felt like a real idiot when all I could think was 'quadratic'.

	Duni:	Apr 23rd, 2011 at 21:35 GMT		17 points
	@ahh: Untrue. I've studied math, but I also took note of the subject of the quiz. So I therefore just saw an equation, and entered the first math term I thought of ending in ra. I don't see why people have such a problem with it as is.

	@jessbowen: My only problem with that suggestion is that it won't all fit on one line and I put a lot of effort into keeping the columns even. @pogues: Actually, I prefer to sometimes write clues that aren't completely obvious and are instead more, well, mentally stimulating. @Calder27: Sorry about that, there really aren't very many 'aa' words, but at least you've heard of it now.
