	Good quiz. Although categories 2 and 4 become extremely easy after the first 1 or 2 clues, simply by knowing the category.

	giveupyet:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 05:00 GMT	1 point
	Thanks Bflat- That's actually kind of the point, because once you get one or two, you figure out the category and can then work out the ones you may not have gotten the first time through.

	you should accept mitochondria

	giveupyet:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 05:28 GMT	2 points
	@flyingmuskrat- Only "mitochondrion" is accepted because "mitochondria" is the plural form of the word. None of the others are plural, and plus the sound-it-out clue ends in "on."

	I love these! Don't stop making them!

	This is a good quiz! My only issue is your clue selection for Spanish cities. Why, in the world, did you pick Alcorcon? Of all the cities left in Spain to choose from, why pick a new, fairly small suburb of Madrid? I mean you've got Valencia, Murcia, Bilbao, etc. which are all cities in their own right. I lived in Spain for a year and am big into maps and would never guess Alcorcon. Similar complaints about Getafe - you from Madrid or did a study abroad there or something? - but at least they have the soccer team to make it more recognizable. Sigh, I don't mean to be overly critical and don't shy from a challenge, but it's frustrating when there is a quiz that is relatively fun and easy but with one or two incredibly obscure answers.

	StatsChick:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 07:26 GMT	1 point
	I agree with Mogilny, when you look at the percentages for the last two, they are ridiculously lower than the other answers. I've been to Spain twice and didn't know either (but feel free to tell me I should!).

	giveupyet:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 14:52 GMT	1 point
	Thanks for the feedback! Since the others are very well-known, I'd hoped to choose a more obscure location for a challenge, but I can definitely pick a new one if it's too obscure.

	say-bee-uh = seville now?

	giveupyet:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 16:49 GMT	0 points
	Yep, that's how it is pronounced in Spain. I know we Americans tend to pronounce it "SEH-VILLE," but that's not technically correct.

	ras0723:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 20:50 GMT	4 points
	hmm... i disagree. i think saying we americans pronounce it "seh-ville" but it's not correct is like saying that pronouncing the name of the country as "spain" instead of "es-pan-ya" is incorrect. seville is just the english version, much as how we say "mexico city" instead of "ciudad de mexico". not a big deal, just a little inconsistent. and i appreciate that you accept "sevilla". btw, if you're going for "how it is pronounced in spain", perhaps you should change the first one in that column to "barTH l own a"...

	Hey ras- I guess what I meant was that the sounded-out words are intended to be how they would be pronounced in Spain, but I tried to accept alternate variations in spelling that includes the way a variety of parties might spell it. If there any others that anyone stumbles across that I failed to include, definitely let me know. As far as "Barcelona" goes, I've seen it both ways ("TH" and "S" sounds), so I stuck with Wikipedia's pronunciation recommendation ("S").

	singin185:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 02:48 GMT	1 point
	If you're going for the proper Spanish pronunciation, you should probably adjust PEblo Picasso to PAblo Picasso.

	giveupyet:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 03:25 GMT	-1 points
	@singin- The point here is to get approximate sound-alikes, so if you say a string of seemingly random words out loud, it sounds like another word or phrase, so the Picasso clue serves its purpose. It isn't supposed to be an exact match. The discussion above concerning city pronunciations concerns major discrepancies in pronunciations for Spanish cities specifically, like whether there should be an "UH" at the the end of Seville, which essentially adds a whole other syllable to the word. It's really not supposed to be so complicated...

	singin185:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 10:43 GMT	1 point
	I can understand the Say-bee-uh versus Say-ville argument, as both are accepted pronunciations of the name of the city. Nobody pronounces his first name Peh-blo, and I think it's simply incorrect. Maybe I'm just being picky, but I think if you change the vowel, especially on the accented syllable, you're changing the whole name. Maybe it's because I'm a singer, and I'm constantly thinking about vowel formation, but Peh-blo just seems wrong to me, and it was the only answer I had to go back to because I couldn't get it.

	singin185:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 10:45 GMT	1 point
	On a completely different note, perhaps consider accepting "parts of a cell?" I tried several variations until "cell" alone got it for me.

	giveupyet:	Apr 5th, 2011 at 12:37 GMT	1 point
	I can definitely accept "Parts of a Cell." As far as the Picasso hint, there's no "H" in Picasso, but "HICK" is still part of it. The goal is for the word string to sound approximately like the answer, enough so that the answer can be determined.

	Wait...I thought they were Golgi BODIES, not just golgi

	giveupyet:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 02:20 GMT	1 point
	Hey myb555- You're right. The organelle can be known as the Gogli body, the Golgi complex, or the Golgi apparatus. Since "Golgi" is often used as a general term for the organelle, I went with that because I didn't want to confuse people if there was one particular name variation they were used to. Were you still able to get it as it is?
