	Start "tyre" comments in 3...2...1...go!

	B-sharp can be a bit confusing, as it's the same thing as C.

	Good stuff, although I'd never heard of a pome or a lo mein before now.

	zamboni:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 09:55 GMT		1 point
	Pomme is apple in French. Peri and Arne I had not heard of and had to do by trial and error. The definitions were good. On several, I guessed and then smacked myself for not knowing it ahead of time.

	Eton is not a prep. school. It is a public school for ages 13+

	Hm. Tire..tyre. To heed is not to hear it is to listen, very different meanings. Hole and leak? It would mean a leak in a ship but not in a jumper. Meh.

	Nice quiz, I'm especially loving Set 8's first clue. Good job, 5 globes.

	@ Zossima: Lo Mein is the greatest of all Chinese take out foods! Must be mixed with shrimp, duck sauce and hot mustard. Even better the next morning ice cold right out of the fridge!

	Hands up if you tried "Golden-gram".

	phildm:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 14:43 GMT		3 points
	The ones that are griping in here must not do crosswords. Its a anagram, so be prepared to use alternate (and just as correct) spellings.

	What Phil said. Lighten up people. Very fun morning Sporcle!

	Eton is not a prep school :s

	zamboni:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 17:08 GMT		-2 points
	Both listen and hear are used meaning "to understand". Heed usually means to comply, but they all mean to attend. That seems close enough for union labor. Also Eton College is what we in the US call a college preparatory school, unless its graduates have been attending Oxford despite their time at Eton. Private, public, university, college, make some allowances for translation.

	"Wheel" and "tire" are not really even close to being the same thing.

	jgizow44:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 18:18 GMT		-4 points
	except most people can't do crosswords in 7 minutes. Not that I would spend any more time on this quiz, some of the clues are just awful.

	Koltrane:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 18:43 GMT		-3 points
	I agree, wheel and tire are not synonymous any more than foot and shoe are. How about radial or exhaust?

	WyvernSabres:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 19:48 GMT		1 point
	@zamboni: US usage is inappropriate in this instance. Eton is in the UK and is thus NOT a prep school (our prep schools usually go up to the age of ~13). I drew attention to this on Sept 3rd, and am surprised the clue is still unaltered - it wouldn't be hard to find a more accurate wording.

	I didnt realize i took this one already until I read my own comment -- sad lol... Apparently I did better 1st time around, but great quiz, a lot of fun :)

	This trio quiz is a riot, as Ms. Amos would say.

	Even Sporclers who have never seen Star Wars now know the phrase "It's a Trap". Akbar must be making millions off of copyrights.

	mcneilbot:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 16:30 GMT		1 point
	@zamboni. Heed and listen imply attention is being paid to the source, hear does not. For example, you can hear background noise without attending to it. To listen is to make an effort to hear something, but you can hear something without making an effort. Variations of the word hear suggest attention, but not the word on its own. AAAAnyway it doesnt really matter that its a bit wrong, as the game provides the four letters in the target words....but its fun to be pedantic sometimes.

	WyvernSabres:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 21:01 GMT		5 points
	@biglar5: So your thesis is, every time a Sporcle clue is factually inaccurate [the original clue read "Brit prep school"] nobody should deign to correct it lest they "sound intelligent"? It should keep you busy spreading this idea around all the other comments threads...

	sproutcm:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 23:59 GMT		5 points
	@All I changed the clues that people felt were inaccurate. Eton is a prep school, to Americans. That's what we call it. They don't call it that in the UK, so I changed it. However, as all the things here are crossword clues, you can see that that is how Eton is often clued in the US. Maybe the good thing is everyone here learned new terms for educational institutions on both sides of the pond.

	fun quiz but add some more time please

	rudi:	Feb 14th, 2011 at 13:06 GMT		1 point
	fun fun fun! finished with 1:55 left. great to take a stab at one and have the rest fall into place. or just start anagramming. I got stuck on ENOL at the end and just kept typing in letter combinations until it hit me. Thank you sprout!
