	great quiz, surprisingly difficult on some of them, especially when the first letters are vowels.

	Funny, I found it much easier than I thought I would. Must be from all those cr ssw rd pzzl s I have done where there are blanks all over the place. Good idea.

	U might need to clarify whether you're referring to UK or USA monopoly!

	Totally stumped on the Monopoly question. Kept going around the board in my mind but blanked. Nice and challenging quiz!

	I typed in Ares expecting it to work for sign of the zodiac. After it came up for Greek god I couldn't figure out how to spell it the other way.

	The Y in Memorial Day is a vowel; Y is only a consonant in the onset. Otherwise, wunderbar.

	Spent about 20 minutes trying to spell Gawain. Oh well. Great quiz. Kinda reminds me of my notes after an interview.

	Very difficult! (for non-americans) A quiz with mispelled words or rearranged letters would be interesting too.

	MetalPig:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 06:53 GMT	13 points
	I typed Eros and it gave me Ares... Not quite the same!

	Aw I guessed "Indian Avenue" (Haven't ever seen an American monopoly board.) So close!

	Tell me I'm not the only person who tried thinking of a month of the year that didn't have a vowel to start off with... before realising... :$

	Quit whining. Monopoly is a USA game. Might be a UK version but there are many versions. Some answers are easier for brits (eu and uefa), but you don't hear a lot of crying over them.

	Etheridge2:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 12:26 GMT	-4 points
	I disagree with JayHankEd the Y in Memorial Day is not a vowel the vowel in the word Day is A and the Y is and should be considered a consonant.

	Lyn_Marie:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 12:27 GMT	10 points
	It's trivia. If you don't know about American football or other US trivia, either consider it a learning experience or make your own quiz.

	nobullship:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 12:27 GMT	2 points
	wahhhhh! why is everything usa-centric? wahhhh! sob, sob. ask us more about different flavors of tea!

	WhoWitMe:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 12:29 GMT	1 point
	should have made that monopoly question Uk and US maybe. In Australia we have the UK one. Nevertheless a fun game though.

	eoj163:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 13:10 GMT	2 points
	MeltedMan,I agree. Monopoly was HANDMADE in the USA, 1000 copies, before it got published. Then it took a while to get over seas. It is an americans game. Not that I disrespect the British, but it seemed ridiculous how much the ywere complaining. And I like the quiz, even thoguh I did terribly. I DID get Aries though.

	Stumped by American monopoly, as have only ever played UK which we have in Australia. This is not a complaint, I shall endevour to learn more. I typed Eros, and got Ares for the Greek god. They're somewhat different, and should not be interchangeable.

	Isn't the UK in Europe though? When non Americans comment about hockey on games do Americans complain because it is played in Canada as well? The Bills played in Toronto last year for a game, so it is also a North American sport. They play games in Europe as well. Therefore the earlier comment about it being a US sport is incorrect as well. Why don't you correct Chris and insult him unnecessarily too? I remember taking one of the quizzes in which it just asked what country we all were from. It was 60-65% USA, so that's why it is skewed more towards Americans.

	There is an r missing from quarterback. @Chris don't forget about Canada...many of us avidly follow 'American' sports and enjoy trivia relating to them so these questions most definitely do not just appeal to Americans.

	stephenbeck:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 15:20 GMT	2 points
	I'd like to point out that while Eros is not one of the big 12 Olympian gods, it is a pretty important greek god nonetheless, so it's mildly acceptable.

	DonnyB:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 15:28 GMT	6 points
	Liverpool is an answer? Why is this quiz so UK centric?!
