	The "mugger" clue is ambiguous - I took it to mean "says X" as in "mugs," the verb, not "one who says."

	"Something sweet to eat" should also accept "sugar" as an answer. Sugar is also derived from Sanskrit ("sharkara"). Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar#Etymology

	It's interesting how the Sanskrit word for orange is similar to the Spanish word for orange, naranja. I like the quiz, but I'd like to see a source.

	Good quiz. I would adjust the size of the columns so that the answer column is less wide.

	When I see the words, "your money or your life", I remember Jack Benny's answer, "I'm thinking."
