	Tsunami is not synonymous with tidal wave. They are both large waves, sure, but have very different origins.

	I was stumped when the "...shirt wearer" would not accept "guido".

	@Tom007: Experts in the relevant fields do discourage the use of "tidal wave" when referring to tsunamis, but the terminology is still in occasional use. More importantly, descriptions here have to be really short in order to fit on one line whenever possible. Good spot though.

	got exactly half -- pretty challenging!!

	Surprised at the low percentage for Tonga's capital. I woulda thought that Sporclers would have the capitals pretty much memorized by now.

	RS89:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 04:57 GMT		2 points
	I can never remember the right African country at the right time. (Also the map of Africa in my head is really screwed up. I don't even know where Angola goes.)

	I tried manicotti for the tubular pasta one. I think that should take, too, because it's a pasta in a tube shape ending with "ti."

	sproutcm:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 05:40 GMT		1 point
	@allievenstar: If you look at the archived comments you'll see that manicotti isn't a pasta dish at all. They are Italian crepes.

	y u downvote tom? he's totally right; tsunamis aren't tidal waves. even gradeschoolers are taught that distinction so why should we let misconceptions persist in sporcle quizzes? "harbor wave" as a clue would be more accurate and short too. or even "underwater earthquake-induced wave". i dunno.

	swill128:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 08:03 GMT		7 points
	Nuku'alofa? Really? Also, Angola is not central, it's coastal.

	Zak6009:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 10:41 GMT		5 points
	One common phenomenon/habit/symptom about being a Sporcler is having obscure capitals/countries come to mind, both when guessing and creating quizzes. So I'm guessing sproutcm got this when he was thinking of things ending in FA. ...fa...fa... NUKUALOFA!

	dlutz77539:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 11:40 GMT		1 point
	I'm not sure why Angola is considered in south central Africa when it borders the Atlantic. I got it eventually, but a better clue would have been southwest Africa (which is Angola's former name, btw).

	Red/White striped shirt wearer? That's a little vague! And I can go into the grocery store, go to the section that sells pasta, and buy a box of large tubes called manicotti. Granted, I thought of ziti first, but it gives complete legitimacy to all who say manicotti should be accepted.

	Catherine_F:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 12:52 GMT		3 points
	I imagined a barbershop quartet straight away for the red-and-white shirt clue. Once I had those vertical stripes in my head, I was never going to make the transition to horizontal ones! (Never mind that Waldo isn't even called Waldo in my country.)

	moegoldberg:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 13:29 GMT		1 point
	You should accept tubetti.

	mkgrenwel:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 14:00 GMT		4 points
	By pasta standards, what you buy that's called manicotti is pretty large. This quiz says medium sized, therefore only ziti is correct.

	demonstah:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 15:14 GMT		7 points
	@dlutz - Angola wasn't Southwest Africa. That was Namibia.

	Isstvan:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 15:40 GMT		3 points
	Other tubular pastas that would fit: maltagliati and calamaretti.

	Oddish:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 15:45 GMT		2 points
	@Zak6009 Do we know for sure sproutcm is a boy? I always imagined a girl for some reason. Coincidentally, I think an upcoming quiz should be guessing the sexes of Sporcle's highest contributors.

	sproutcm:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 16:31 GMT		2 points
	@Oddish My rustic masculine looks and XY chromosomes belie your imagination. As a matter of fact, scanning the top 50 quizmasters, I only know of 5 of them who are women. Back when I used to do college bowl, there were very few women, which I think had to do with women realizing that trivia was trivia and they had much better things to do with their free time. :)

	I spent a good minute trying different spellings of "Jaffa" and "Tel Aviv-Jaffa" (with and without the hyphen before I thought to look north- could you add it as an alternate Israeli port city?

	RonB:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 18:13 GMT		1 point
	Sprout, you have a stalker! Didn't like the fire opal answer. Thought that was definitely a reach.

	hyena:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 18:29 GMT		1 point
	Angola is West Africa. It's a port country, so I don't consider it to be central which to me implies that the clue refers to a landlocked country.

	Crorey:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 18:32 GMT		1 point
	I actually got tripped up with SwaziLAnd as the South Central African country.... and couldn't shake it. Great quiz, though.

	Now I'm sure that I've become a fogey because I went over and over Andersen's story in my head trying to find a character who could be described as a 'nemesis'.

	Solfège! =D Fairly enjoyable quiz. I liked the "partner of Charybdis" the most. A lot of this knowledge was fairly vague... to me. But it was fun nonetheless!

	Colmar:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 20:03 GMT		2 points
	Geography is definitely not the average Sporcler's strong suit. Of the eight place names, only three are above 50% guessed. Nonetheless, this quiz has the perfect mix of everything.

	Vman455:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 20:12 GMT		1 point
	@guide: Oceanography textbooks commonly refer to the tsunami as "sea wave or seiche." While these terms are not exact synonyms (sea wave can refer to any ocean wave, and a seiche is a standing wave in an enclosed or partially-enclosed body of water such as a bay), they are better than "tidal wave." Perhaps the best option would be to call it what it is: "seismic sea wave"--succinct enough for this quiz, and entirely accurate.

	sproutcm:	Nov 23rd, 2011 at 20:36 GMT		3 points
	@Vman455, and others. Merriam-Webster defines a tsunami as " : a great sea wave produced especially by submarine earth movement or volcanic eruption : TIDAL WAVE." And if you look under tidal wave, one of its definitions is tsunami, but it can mean other things as well. It is a perfectly correct clue. It is like saying that you cannot say that "flag" is a "banner" because "flag" can also mean "to sink."

	I'll second the Jaffa suggestion. I, too, wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how I misspelled it.
