What are the names of the two lion statues outside of the New York public library?
Patience and Fortitude
Independence and Individualism
Mercy and Strength
Balance and Passion
Actually the official names of those two lions are Lord Astor and Lady Lenox (originally "Leo Astor" and "Leo Lenox"), but their nicknames are one of the options, so just a minor inaccuracy in the question.
P.s. Viridel, some of what you find to be uninteresting or lexical knowledge I find interesting and informative.

Which of these tiger subspecies is not extinct?
Javan tiger
Caspian tiger
South China tiger <- marked as correct
Bali tiger
Sadly this question might all to soon become invalid. No confirmed sightings of the South China Tiger have been made for a long time, 20-25 years, estimates are that fewer than 20 wild individuals remain. Around 80 live in captivity, and there are attempts to return some of these to the wild. So for now it is still valid, and let's hope it stays that way.

This question is wrong, ALL US states may fly their flag at the same height as the US flag. It is an urban legend that only the Texas flag may fly for the same height as the US flag.
What is the name of Kabir Bedi's character in the James Bond movie?
Minor issue as Kabir Bedi, as far as I have found on the web so far, only played in one James Bond movie, but the name or the number of the movie should be in the question.

This is not a complaint as such, more a question of whether or not this question is in fact correct.
What is the smallest mammal in the world?
insect bat
hummingbird bat
bumblebee bat
termite bat
This is a good question, but the scientists don't all quite agree on the answer. By one definition it is the bumblebee bat (smallest head and shortest length), but by another it's the Etruscan Shrew (lightest mass of fully mature adult).
As long as the Etruscan Shrew is not among the possible answers it's not a problem, and I think it's to interesting a question to remove.

But the correct answer is a bit more complicated than 24.
Both India and Nepal are in separate Time Zones, as have several more, so depending on the definition of Time Zones the answer is much higher.

Thanks for the explanation, I have however noticed that when I was filling the soul well my contribution did not increase the size of the well. I did not notice if anything happened when I had finally filled my whole quota.
Now if someone who has built using his/her own SE leaves the clan, does this affect the size of the soul well?
It depends on the size of the soul well.
These are the borderlines, and the Soul well increases with your building:
till 50k Soul Well --- your built SE/10
till 55k Soul Well --- your built SE/11
till 60k Soul Well --- your built SE/12
.
.
.
etc.
175k Soul Well or more --- your built SE/35 - thats the maximum, the divisor won't be higher than that.
I hope it's clear. (If not, then I'll try to explain it in a different way.)

It seems my duelling fatigue affects my chance of winning dimesion gate battles.
I rarely lose dimension gate battles if I fight them before dueling, but when I fight them after 5-6 duels and thus have -30% to -40% to my abilities I lose the dimension gate battle.
Is this just me having bad luck, or does duel fatigue affect the dimension gate battles.
