In my defense, my quiz was completed a week ago or so, but I was waiting to release it. Also, once I released "France Multiple Choice", it was kind of obvious where I was going next. No offense to @Gassu69 of course, whose quiz is excellent. In any case, I don't get much out of running JetPunk, but I do get to enjoy the arbitrary exercise of power, WAHAHAHA.
I have one! Plus several with tigers, also seem to be very popular. I also have a national geographic one, which is a mountain of snow haha all black and white tones and one tiny person in a yellow jacket.
Agree; I thought this was a trick question. It's like asking what country stars or love or hearing or electrons were invented. X-rays being discovered as opposed to invented kinda screws up the whole question; maybe use one of Gassu's instead??
For the question on what letter is not used in German, I think you should change the Z with an X or something because two questions after is a question asking what Zeitgeist means.
I am slightly confused by #14. The correct answer is supposed to be "a castle", but isn't a castle (by definition) a fortified structure? Neuschwanstein is not, though it has elements that are supposed to look "castle-like".
This is getting a little bit lost in translation, I think. In German it is called "Schloss Neuschwanstein", which could be translated more accurately as "chateau" or "palace" but for the English translation they somehow decided to call it a castle... maybe because King Ludwig II had it designed like a typical medieval German fairytale castle.
The thought of Uwe Boll as Chancellor is horrifying and hilarious in equal measure. I think Trump would look mild-mannered and considerate by comparison.
It used to be the name of the German Parliament, back when Germany was a Reich, and not a Bund! The building has retained the name - so the Reichstag now houses the Bundestag!
There used to be two German states, one called Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland), the other German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik).
Since there were two, they were nicknamed "West" and "East" Germany.
Adenauer was the chancellor of the FRG (nicknamed "West" Germany).
What happened in 1990, is that the GDR dissolved. Its Länder, which hadn't existed under the GDR, re-formed, and then individually joined the FRG, whose Constitution, name and system remained largely unchanged.
Adenauer was therefore chancellor of the same Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) that still exists today - and not of the other Germany, that doesn't exist anymore.
Maybe rephrase it as "known for"?
- ruled out the correct answer for most guessed
