	Despite the word "trademarked" I was still trying to think of some group of skin cells unique to the face.

	"c" bonus is the French spelling, circonflex.

	Mimbleton:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 14:09 GMT	10 points
	x-cellent

	hibernia:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 14:14 GMT	5 points
	I just made up a word for "P" and got it right. Mind blown!

	Tommy_C:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 14:32 GMT	2 points
	Really had to dig back to my days in French class to remember circumflex. Spent a minute trying to spell gears with an x, but never got to gearbox. Very good quiz. I had to really think hard.

	rlorenz:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 14:34 GMT	1 point
	can't believe I spelled "L...X" right on the first try! Super excited! This was an awesome quiz and I can't believe you found a word that ended in x for every letter in the alphabet!!

	Glad to know I'm not the only one who missed quincunx. Is is just me, or does that sound like a dirty word?

	TucoBenedicto:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 15:00 GMT	3 points
	I definitely X-pelled X-crement all over this X-am.

	courtneyyy:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 15:13 GMT	1 point
	any chance that "gear box" could be an accepted variation? i was bummed when i gave up and realized that all i had needed to do to get it right was take the space out. (granted, i thought i was just making something up, but still.)

	MrEnglishman:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 15:22 GMT	9 points
	Didn't do so well on the US brandnames :(

	Mr_Anchovy:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 15:25 GMT	9 points
	I think making circonflex only a bonus rather than an alternate answer for circumflex (since it fits all the necessary criteria) is a bit of a jerk move...

	TonyPlush2:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 15:35 GMT	1 point
	Pretty good quiz

	NY_MOB:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 15:45 GMT	11 points
	Fun quiz. Thanks for accepting "intermix". Maybe consider accepting the brand name "Zmax" too.

	12bball:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 16:00 GMT	3 points
	This quiz is x-tremely hard.

	gvigary:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 16:03 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz, only marred by over-use of parochial US brand names, making certain questions (eg M, H, Z) pretty much unanswerable for overseas players, even ones generally familiar with Americanisms.

	sproutcm:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 16:17 GMT	3 points
	@mr-anchovy. In French circonflexe DOES NOT end in an X and that's why it is a bonus @ gvigary. There is NO American who knows the word zirhromax but it was needed to complete the set. Logic and guiding bonus answers help you figure that out. Otherwise the reason that two brand names are on here is because there is another ends in X quiz and this quiz repeats none of those. I'm sorry you have such a parochial view of what trivia goes into sporcle quizzes.

	Scurra:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 16:17 GMT	9 points
	Sadly, another person here complaining about overuse of US brandnames, especially when there are plenty of reasonable answers for most of them (although I will concede the Z would be hard to replace.) But it was still good fun, for all that.

	Twilight_Phantom:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 16:37 GMT	7 points
	Not gonna lie, I definitely tried pharynx...I took anatomy more recently than world history, I guess.

	myb555:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 17:02 GMT	2 points
	I still tried "flabbergast" for the f clue even when i knew it was wrong...

	AlexRandom:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 17:51 GMT	7 points
	If Voldemort had only thought of using an inconspicuous Oreo-like cookie instead of a priceless Ring or Cup, my alternate answer for H would have been correct.

	Phraxos:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 17:59 GMT	1 point
	SOWPODS lists zelatrix (a female zealot).

	A_Trep:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 18:07 GMT	5 points
	@sproutcm: I know what Zithromax is. Granted I work at pharmacy, but I'm American... Unless zirhromax is a real word in which case you are correct: I have never heard of zirhromax.

	mungar:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 18:09 GMT	2 points
	Should have used Esquilax for 'E'. It's a legendary horse, with the head of a rabbit, and the body of a rabbit.

	Havok3595:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 18:39 GMT	4 points
	I failed at Zithromax despite formerly working for big pharma. I kept thinking...it's the cold medicine one, right? Zertex? No? I must be thinking of the wrong drug, is it Zanax? No?

	sproutcm:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 19:07 GMT	4 points
	@a-trep oops yeah that spelling error is from my stupid phone autocomplete and small screen.
