    I actually loved this. My only complaints are that some were not about visual association at all, but in-depth knowledge of a specific topic, like chemistry or IMDb ratings.

    The chemistry question involved balancing the equation. Both sides have to have equal numbers of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The IMDb question was kind of lame, who memorizes ratings from one of many, many movie rating sites?

    There were so many ads I couldn't tell which were the pictures and which were the ads.

    I think it's that there are 4 people, and Uno is the only activity that inherently supports four players?

    I thought it was a representation of Japan's flag, and Japan means cherry tree flowers

    Decode? Not! People, media, columnists, even supposedly educational documentaries are using the word to entertain. It's everywhere since The DaVinci Code came out. The above is NOT a code. Translating a foreign language is not decoding something. Hieroglyphics are not a code.

    If MJ was the King, shouldn't the 2 go away because it isn't a face card?

    I *think* it was because he was Michael JACKson? I got it wrong though, because they all made no sense. But that's how I explained it to myself afterwards

    Well, something, but very culture-specific in many cases. The only one I got wrong which annoyed me was failing to guess the correct symbol for Neptune. I mean, I got the planet right, so why didn't I spot the obvious "Dur, trident, that's got to be the one for the god of the sea".

    The planet is Neptune and that's the symbol for Neptune. It looks like a trident because Neptune was the Roman god of the sea (he was the Roman version of the Greek god Poseidon)

    I must say that Abel's comment at the bottom amused me. Quote: "12/20 Congraulations to the one who made this test. The dumbest one new record!".. Scored low so it must be the quiz that's dumb? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    I was a bit confused about the "no basketball" until I recognized Kane. It could be debated whether it's too easy, as it was also the only guy not black. They could have picked Mbappé or Saka and just left the jersey on display to figure it out (for those not familiar with their faces)

    Some of these were unfathomable. WTF are you supposed to do with some of these images ? Especially the 2nd last one .... what's the trident/female symbol supposed to do with a blue sphere ? Also that gift one ..... how is it connected with an aerial view of a snowy forest ?

    Other than the horribly racist one about basketball, this was a step up from the usual quiz. Keep 'em coming.

    They are all basketball players apart from the white guy. That is Harry Kane, a British footballer.
