	Some nerds here would probably recognize 'mall eb ormat' over the true SWF answer. ;)

	My quiz failure has given me an idea: a Universal Aerial Bus!

	i got USB, but not New york city. such a techie.

	ImpromptuJ:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 06:17 GMT		21 points
	I'm guessing that the hint "hut he uck p" would clash with Sporcle's family-friendly style?

	VCU seems a little random unless you're a student there. I only got it because I'm from Richmond. Altogether though, a very cool quiz.

	mentalplayground:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 08:14 GMT		13 points
	I always thought it was on-layable.

	goseaward:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 08:43 GMT		10 points
	Based on the results...it's as though a million Swedish voices cried out, and were suddenly silenced. Or maybe that was just synthesizers.

	frankthepieking:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 10:34 GMT		0 points
	Good balance of American and British stuff here, which is pretty rare most of the time.

	Degree:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 11:39 GMT		2 points
	Apparently "on-layer haracter" is correct, "layable" is commonly used although not technically correct apparently. However the fact that less than a quarter of people got it correct tells you all you need to know really. I would definitely have got it from "on-layable haracter".

	JimAkin:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 12:49 GMT		17 points
	I just confirmed that the quiz-entry order is shuffled randomly for each instance of the game. By lucky coincidence, MASH and RADAR came one after the other when I played. :)

	MichaelB76:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 12:55 GMT		14 points
	Good quiz. Never realised that's what MASH stood for. With a few seconds left and running out of ideas, I actually guessed IKEA for gnetha enny jörn nni-Frid.

	I feel stupid for forgetting that Abba represents the initials of the members. I also tried Old High Merman before trying other permutations of OH.

	TheCowboy:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 13:24 GMT		5 points
	Always frustrating when even once the answer is revealed, you've still never heard of it! Loved this quiz though!

	Bob91351:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 14:15 GMT		-1 points
	Never heard of "on-layer haracter", but was able to easily guess it... But I ran out of time to guess all the combos of "ld igh erman"

	Bradley:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 14:19 GMT		9 points
	hat he uck is Old High German?

	Willis13:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 14:35 GMT		4 points
	So that's what JPEG means.

	ostroffj:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 14:47 GMT		13 points
	@Tony_A: Late in life, Ethel mostly starred in stoner musicals.

	TAR2:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 14:51 GMT		21 points
	So, I'm picturing an elderly German guy with a joint.

	stereopticons:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 15:33 GMT		1 point
	Yay VCU!

	cheese7:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 16:15 GMT		1 point
	TTFN should definitely be part of this quiz!

	jamieg:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 16:32 GMT		2 points
	Not sure why VCU was the choice, but it was easy enough to guess. OHG was also a strange choice. Can't wait for the sequel!

	SaintPetersbourg:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 16:45 GMT		3 points
	I probably shouldn't be surprise that people haven't heard of OHG, but I still am. It's kind of a big deal.

	Love OHG making an appearance in a Sporcle quiz. Suddenly makes my medieval German linguistics module I took at uni seem worthwhile.

	I worked out NPC by educated guesswork, but I've never heard the acronym before and haven't the foggiest idea what a "non-player character" is. It must exist in some realm of popular culture that I don't frequent, gaming perhaps?

	Tony_A:	Oct 26th, 2011 at 18:53 GMT		9 points
	A non-player character IS from gaming and refers to a character that is controlled by the game itself and not by any players.
