6/11. Not many questions about the moon! Only ridiculous superstitions!

2 mistakes here. Answer was born on a full moon on a Monday. But the calendar had a Friday. Then Greek God question, they showed a goddess in the photo.

Karin Johansson,
Selene is also a goddess.

Steve Bush,
That is not what a new moon is.
A new moon is not a crescent at all. It is a lunar phase that occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, with the moon's dark side facing Earth. During a new moon, the moon is invisible because sunlight falls on the side of the moon that is not facing Earth.

#7 - The answer "Native American" totally ignores the many different tribes, with different beliefs.

Steve Bush, usually you can't even see the new moon!

I thought it was going to be dealing more with the scientific aspects, rather than superstition 🤔 think I've seen this one before

I don’t normally complain but this is nothing to do with the moon, it’s about human superstition. Just title it right, that’s all I ask.
Steve Bush
Not the right picture. Pointing at the new moon. It’s was a full moon he pointed at. A new moon is just a creasant, like a thin banana.

Why is this quiz put in the science category?
