	That was brilliant and fun!

	triviahappy:	May 27th, 2011 at 16:27 GMT		7 points
	I liked this a lot. :)

	Good quiz, but I'm not sure about "allowed" as a clue.

	Bobman1:	May 27th, 2011 at 16:38 GMT		5 points
	Holy cow, fun but it took me two minutes just to get my second answer (i.e. figure out the concept). I think "authorized" was a difficult/misleading clue and most bird people (Americans at least) regard the bird as a horrid pest/nuisance along the lines of a crow or pigeon and not a songbird like a robin or bluebird. A lot of the two letter answers I only got by guessing the threes and then back-tracking. Interesting.

	Just so you know, "table" in the sense that you have it here means the opposite in British English, i.e. it means to propose something for discussion straight away.

	@SporcleAdmin: Any chance you can lighten the background on the clues to a paler green? I found it nearly unreadable.

	shawnoc:	May 27th, 2011 at 16:58 GMT		3 points
	The bird answer is more familiar to me as Clarice's last name ("You, fly back to school now.") I don't actually know what the actual bird looks like.

	I'm not even attempting this quiz due to the colors. I'm not colorblind, but blue on green is a horrible combination to try and read.

	cmkeller:	May 27th, 2011 at 17:21 GMT		64 points
	In what language does "ae" mean "one"? I figured it out by tracking backward, but I've certainly never heard such a word.

	chiefyratain:	May 27th, 2011 at 17:32 GMT		6 points
	Once I figured out what I was doing it was a lot of fun, perhaps a new daily quiz format?

	StatsChick:	May 27th, 2011 at 17:37 GMT		1 point
	liked the quiz, but the color combination is brutal!

	sproutcm:	May 27th, 2011 at 17:58 GMT		7 points
	@chiefyratain While pyramids like this, or repeated letter deletions or additions (depending on which way you go) are very nice, there are only a handful of English words that have this property.

	A lot of chemistry in this quiz... which, as a chemist, I am ok with.

	BombaySapphire:	May 27th, 2011 at 18:06 GMT		1 point
	@cmkeller: According to Webster, it's from Northern or Scottish Middle English, early 18th century in origin. Admins: I must concur that the colour scheme is awfully harsh.

	jcorney92:	May 27th, 2011 at 18:58 GMT		12 points
	Tried "maid" for the "helper" clue.

	_the_doctor_:	May 27th, 2011 at 23:40 GMT		17 points
	I don't think authorized is a great clue. Technically, if you are able to do something, that means that physically, nothing is preventing you. If you are authorized to do it, that means that you have permission and you will not be breaking the rules or wishes of another person by your actions. A better clue might be "capable".

	"Protection" is a somewhat vague clue for "pad" - I tried "aid" first (although I did figure it out eventually). Maybe "protective gear" might be a better clue?

	ArcadeChaotix:	May 28th, 2011 at 01:17 GMT		0 points
	They should include quizzes like this on the daily dose.

	googlebird:	May 28th, 2011 at 02:01 GMT		6 points
	Never heard of azide. Looked it up. It's used in air bags. Azide is a good thing.

	TAR2:	May 28th, 2011 at 02:07 GMT		2 points
	@stl100: you are correct. but so is the clue in the quiz. It's weird that "table", when used as a verb can have two meanings that are opposites. In the states, people switch to the phrase "on the table" when proposing something.

	epicirish:	May 28th, 2011 at 03:18 GMT		0 points
	Great quiz! I would have been even more impressed if each pyramid was one level taller than the last so that the pyramids themselves formed a pyramid.

	A_Trep:	May 28th, 2011 at 11:19 GMT		1 point
	@_the_doctor_: Yeah good point. I was about to point out something along the same lines. Authorization and ability are seperate and usually in conflict. When someone says, "I am not able to do that for you." A majority of the time they probably are physically able but either lack authorization or the desire to help you. I would suggest proficient, adept or competent. The only reason I would stay away from capable is because it has the answer -able as a word stem.

	rich_n:	May 28th, 2011 at 23:58 GMT		7 points
	"Most common letter in the english alphabet" - think that clue might need rephrasing, as far as I know each of the 26 only appear once! It was easy enough to figure out that you meant the 'most commonly used' (or 'language' rather than alphabet)though, but it just made me smile! Otherwise fantastic quiz, great fun!

	ArnoldLodgehm:	May 31st, 2011 at 07:17 GMT		2 points
	Great little quiz, thanks. Typo - insecticide. Also azide - the ion has a negative charge so N3- would be more correct (even better if you can superscript the 3-)

	Gnobhi:	May 31st, 2011 at 11:24 GMT		0 points
	Someone may already have pointed this out but "inseciticide" is spelled wrong.
