sorry, i didn't get the exact phrase because it was during the quiz olympics, but the question that asks for Demi Moore's character's name in "The Ghost" has the movie title wrong. it's just "Ghost".

"Who did write an opera from the story of Tristan and Isolde?"

did write-->wrote

"When did Mother Teresa won the Nobel peace prize?"

grammar

won-->win
and since the Nobel Peace Prize is a proper noun, it should be capitalized.

"How did the Milky Way get its name?"

the answer marked correct is a mythology explaining *why* it looks as it does. it is not an explanation of how it got its name.

ChaoticGemini, ironic that a brain teaser promoting lateral thinking is denying another possible right answer, no? in any event, how about simply removing the 'incorrect' answer of 1? then there's no confusion.

herd and tower are both correct answers.

(aw, that's sad to hear about Stekkos. he's a good man. )

"There are 78 Crows sitting on a tree , You Shoot one of them down, How many will be left?"

wouldn't the one you shot still be left? the question doesn't specify left in the tree or in the general area (like on the ground).

well, according to NASA, the orbit of Uranus is 84 earth years. so, if it was discovered in 1846, wouldn't that be nearly two complete orbits?
but NASA additionally says that Uranus was discovered in 1781, so that would make it closer to three and a very incorrect question.
it was Neptune that was discovered in 1846. Neptune's orbit is 165 years. Neptune has made one orbit.

which is not a musical?

hitchiker's guide to the galaxy is listed as correct, and while best known as a book, it wasn't hard to find that the cult phenomenon has indeed also been a musical:

The third, and least successful stage show was held at the Rainbow Theatre in London, in July 1980. This was the second production directed by Ken Campbell. The Rainbow Theatre had been adapted for stagings of rock operas in the 1970s, and both reference books mentioned in footnotes indicate that this, coupled with incidental music throughout the performance, caused some reviewers to label it as a "musical". This was the first adaptation for which Adams wrote the "Dish of the Day" sequence. The production ran for over three hours, and was widely panned for this, as well as for the music, laser effects, and the acting. Despite attempts to shorten the script, and make other changes, it closed three or four weeks early (accounts differ), and lost a lot of money. Despite the bad reviews, there were at least two stand-out performances: Michael Cule and David Learner both went on from this production to appearances in the TV adaptation.

"Who is not actor?"

the word "an" is missing, and the answer marked as correct, Elton John, is not entirely true (Tommy, SNL, etc.). adding "primarily" would solve the problem.

giving every other clan 27 mil is kind of silly. clans have different numbers of members at different character levels with different commitment to building. it'd be impossible to do equitably. removing the SE built into the soul well by the cheater shouldn't be hard. removing the SE built into individual buildings is trickier. there should be records - there certainly are records of active clan members' building. removing SE from individual buildings would temporarily make things very messy for the clan, including members who hadn't cheated, by unleveling buildings. what would happen with buildings that have a prerequisite building if the prerequisite building was suddenly not at the prerequisite level?
