	It should be "noble" not "nobel" gas.

	Maybe a bit obscure, but Jacob Riis, social reformer and author of "How the other half lives" could give you an "ii" clue. No idea about "uu" though.

	Suggestion: Substitute Kristen Wiig of "Bridesmaids" & SNL fame for the _ii_ clue.

	Check your definition of 'prevaricate', because I don't think it means what you think it means.

	Every Sporcler just found out that there's one more capital to learn.

	Zak6009:	Aug 8th, 2012 at 22:56 GMT		1 point
	I thought the capital was Godthaab?

	It's a good thing that the first 24 items were easy because it took me almost 3 minutes to guess the capital of Greenland.

	zak Godthab is another name for it, but it is more commonly known as Nuuk

	dancastro:	Aug 8th, 2012 at 23:25 GMT		4 points
	@Zak6009: Godthaab (or Godthåb) was the Danish name (I think it means "hope in God") and surely Nuuk is a name taken from some native language.

	What I find frightening is I immediately knew Nuuk... and I have absolutely no idea why. Sporcle starting to creep in via osmosis.

	thecassidy:	Aug 9th, 2012 at 00:40 GMT		1 point
	Why don't you say "fib" instead of "prevaricate." Then again that's one of the only difficult hints, so leaving it wouldn't be awful.

	TAR2:	Aug 9th, 2012 at 01:45 GMT		5 points
	I can not tell a prevarication.

	"What you're taking now" ...Prozac? OH, QUIZ!

	TheReaver88:	Aug 9th, 2012 at 02:31 GMT		13 points
	@PAJ: Yes, that should solve the obscurity problem...

	adhair:	Aug 9th, 2012 at 09:55 GMT		1 point
	Seconded on Nuuk—"How the hell did I know that?"

	les4765:	Aug 9th, 2012 at 15:18 GMT		6 points
	Isn't the _ei_ answer an open-face sandwich really? :)

	speedskater:	Aug 10th, 2012 at 04:01 GMT		3 points
	I truly have no idea how I knew Nuuk, but I just had that instinct to type it in. Sporcle is guiding my subconscious now. Awesome.

	shakescene:	Aug 11th, 2012 at 03:37 GMT		2 points
	I wonder if this can be expanded to include Y (except maybe _yy_): ay, ey, iy, oy, uy, ya, ye, yi, yo and yu. But some of those answers would be far obscurer. pays, Leys, boys, buys, ayat, BYOB, Syed, etc (?). (No, I do not play Scrabble.)

	koopa08:	Aug 12th, 2012 at 19:42 GMT		1 point
	Darn it. Godthåb didn't fit for capital of Greenland.

	Zak6009:	Aug 14th, 2012 at 09:40 GMT		3 points
	Damn, I ate these sandwiches too fast, now I have a vowel movement.

	jahs34:	Aug 15th, 2012 at 14:40 GMT		0 points
	I thought the capital of Greenland was Copenhagen, isn´t it a part of Denmark?

	dancastro:	Aug 16th, 2012 at 15:58 GMT		1 point
	@jahs34: yes, but also Alaska is a part of the USA and the capital of Alaska is Juneau, not Washington.

	Nikkidemas:	Aug 22nd, 2012 at 18:36 GMT		-1 points
	If you'd like to raise the _ua_ percentage, consider "Guam".

	I tried "suey" for animal fat. Little did I know how close that was.
