	I wonder if there are any words that contain all three of these letters. Anyone know?

	@puckett86: Quixotize (to make idealistic), squeezebox (informal name for an accordion), and Qazax (a city in Azerbaijan), to name a few.

	It's good of you to ignore the article in the Bond title, but you should have ignored it a little more: it's not there. The title is just "Quantum of Solace".

	This is "Z" greatest quiz I've ever played.

	cheezguyty:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 04:51 GMT		12 points
	There is also benzoxiquine (a disinfectant with the chemical equation C16-H11-NO2), Ixcozauhqui (alternate name for the Aztec god of fire), Ixtaczoquitlán (a city in Mexico), jozxyqk (the only word in the language of the cat species Felis sapiens on the British comedy show Red Dwarf), Muzquizopteryx (a genus of pterosaur), qilachxizax (Aleutian for "good morning"), soixante-quatorze (French for 74), soixante-quinze (75), Xochiquetzal (an Aztec goddess of beauty and fertility), XQUZYPHYR (character in the webcomic Some Guy with a Website), WQXZ (an oldies radio station in Georgia), WXZQ (a Top 40 radio station in Ohio), zoquixicohcuitlatl (a Nahuatl word for beeswax), and Pyrzqxgl (a magical word used by the Munchkin Bini Aru in L. Frank Baum's The Magic of Oz) No, I am not making any of this up.

	I've always wondered what the purpose of Q and X were, because both can be pronounced using other letters or letter combos. Q = C, K, or CK and X = Z or KS

	I am very disappointed that the capital of Qatar is not Qatar City.

	Cool quiz - was wondering how you were going to do a whole quiz on each of these without making it super obscure! Just one thing - are the Greek letters in alphabetical order for the Greek alphabet? It's the only category that isn't in English alphabetical order so I figured there must be a reason for it :o)

	Of course I get Zagreb but forget Quito.... -_-

	For Bible books I was hoping it would accept X-odus.

	Cockroach:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 09:43 GMT		8 points
	Heh. I feel like an idiot. Immediately forgot that the quiz also included Z and X, felt majorly stumped working only with Q.

	After failing to add pussy or raker to the end of words to no avail I thought that the Bond film must be one of the latest ones. It turns out my mind had blocked out that awful film.

	X-Men: First Class should be included in Kevin Bacon movies.

	@wordcrosspuzzler: C is also unnecessary. Why not use "sirkle" instead of "circle?" As for the quiz, is there a particular reason that Zagreb is listed as Zagreb, Croatia, but Quito is not listed as Quito, Ecuador?

	jbraun1988:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 13:24 GMT		8 points
	Zaire is not a country anymore so it would not county. The only problem with this quiz is he should accept Xavier University.

	drthunder07:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 13:56 GMT		2 points
	Qatar is the 2nd most guessed. I'm thinking that wouldn't have been the case two weeks ago.

	NY_MOB:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 15:51 GMT		2 points
	It wouldn't be prudent... at this juncture... to say "Dan Quayle - still gaining acceptance"

	canada_please_eh:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 15:51 GMT		1 point
	Not sure why every one is in alphabetical order except the Greek letters.

	Jamessir:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 16:11 GMT		1 point
	I completely forgot about Dan Quayle and for once I don't mind missing that one...lol. Great quiz!

	superball:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 16:13 GMT		10 points
	Well, the Greek letters are in Greek alphabetical order :)

	stl100:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 16:40 GMT		9 points
	Could we have qoppa on the Greek letters? Perhaps as a bonus, as it is a) terribly obscure, b) only existed in early forms of the alphabet and c) you can spell it without the "q".

	WredAguyW:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 17:43 GMT		1 point
	To point out a consistency error, you have "Zagreb, Croatia" listed, but only "Quito". You should probably make the answer say "Quito, Ecuador".

	deadperson21:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 17:50 GMT		5 points
	I second that for Qoppa. I actually tried it before Zeta and Xi hoping it would be on here.

	Tough decision: shall I name my first born Zephyrinus or Zosimus? Twins would be perfect.

	Boy, you really have to have world knowledge to get both a Premier League team and a US Vice-President....

	treblat:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 19:25 GMT		37 points
	Great quiz - but please fix the world capitals part so just typing "Quito" works, instead of having to type Ecuador too.

	bstarr66:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 19:52 GMT		29 points
	Yeah, I must have typed Quito in 20 times, never considered it would require the country as well. I would guess a lot of people had this problem since only 18% are getting Quito.

	GentleBenj:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 19:57 GMT		26 points
	Oh. That's why typing "Quito" didn't work. That's definitely something to fix.

	TJL:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 20:13 GMT		4 points
	I already made one for Z a while ago (http://www.sporcle.com/games/TJL/zgame). Sporcle took a lot of these categories. Quite zealously xerographed, Sporcle.

	bigal4:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 20:21 GMT		6 points
	i think i'll just echo the comments above. quito doesn't work just now
