About this quiz
The lists in play are Countries, Chemical elements, Planets, Greek letters, US states, Constellations. A criterion is either which list a name is on or something you can count in the name itself.
- Every prompt has exactly one right name in the full bank, and all three criteria are needed to pin it down.
- Letter counts ignore spaces, hyphens and punctuation. Vowels are A, E, I, O and U.
- A used name leaves the bank, so the later prompts get easier by elimination.
