About this quiz
The lists in play are US state capitals, Disney animated films, English and British monarchs, NATO alphabet code words, The nine Muses, Geological periods. 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.
