OQ?

Find me an anachronistic mention of a U.S. state, three times in one comic.

Hmm. The closest I can think of is the final panel here, but St. Louis is a U.S. city, not a state.

That's a good one actually, though not the comic I am looking for (I'd give you the points if I had said "U.S. place" for sure though). It's just one state being said multiple times in mine too.

Unfortunately, the only thing I can think of now is that the answer is North Dakota.

Your problem is looking too far north.

OQ

[Lord Torath]

Your problem is looking too far north.

And there you have it: the speed of sound is five times faster in the OotS-verse than it is in real life. Or a mile is roughly a thousand feet instead of 5280. Take your pick.

How can you avoid hanging over a cliff edge all weekend?

Control Weather comes with the ability to have the provided effect based on the caster's intention?

Don't speak in the last panel.

OQ

[bc56]

What color quill pens do Vaarsuvius, Durkon, and Tsusiko use?

[b_jonas]

What color quill pens do Vaarsuvius, Durkon, and Tsusiko use?

I know that Vaarsuvius uses a red quill when he copies spells from Lord Shojo's personal library (#306) despite that Azure City has a blue theme, because I looked that up for a previous question. Similarly Durkon uses a white quill when researching a spell in Malack's personal library, despite that the Empire of Blood has a red theme. Tsukiko is the most difficult. We don't see her filling the job application forms for Xykon. The answer is blue, in #700. OQ.

[Ron Miel]

Find a reference to a city in the USA, that isn't St Louis. Or Mississipi.

[Werbaer]

Or a mile is roughly a thousand feet instead of 5280.

1 mile = 1000 feet seems much better to me than the english definition
(“A Mile shall contain eight Furlongs, every Furlong forty Poles, and every Pole shall contain sixteen Foot and an half.")

[Fyraltari]

Can I pick «*The guy who didn’t cast the spell and doesn’t care about it beyond it being too far away to inconvienience him is wrong in his estimate*»?

[Peelee]

I don't know how it could be any more clear than that.

[Schroeswald]

I don't know how it could be any more clear than that.

One mile is 1760 yards, one yard is three feet, one foot is 12 inches. Or even better, one gallon contains 4 quarts, one quart is 2 pints, 1 pint is two cups, 1 cup is 8 fluid ounces, one fluid ounce is two tablespoons and one tablespoon is three teaspoons.

‘‘... the British long resisted the decimalisation system as they found it to difficult to use.’’

Good Omens, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

Dangit, why couldn't they have made the show longer and packed in more of the book?

[Jasdoif]

How many farthings in a guinea, again?

[Fyraltari]

There was just too much book in the book (and already a lot of narration in the show).

Though it is odd how they inculded some jokes only in half, in Famine's fast food for example.

[Peelee]

Depends, is it new?

There was just too much book in the book

Wouldn't be a problem if British shows weren't so short. There's a line in The Good Place I'm sure to misquote, it's a British character saying something like, "Dierdre and Margaret, it's my favorite show, how do you not know it?!? It's been on the air for thirty years, they made nearly a dozen episodes!"

You got to the point of the quote (including the name and the numbers).

[Peelee]

That line is criminally underappreciated, I say based entirely on my inability to find any gif of it. Seriously, though, it might be my favorite joke in the series (and that's no small feat).

[Schroeswald]

It is a very funny line, and I have no clue what mine is, but that’s cause it’s a masterpiece of comedy and storytelling.

Decimal money is so much easier. There are five pennies to a nickel, two nickels to a dime, two and a half dimes to a quarter, four quarters to a silver dollar, one silver dollar to a dollar note.

(I'm more familiar with Hungarian forint coins of course. Two small yellow coins to a large white coin with the coat of arms and smooth perimeter, two large white coat of arms coins to a large yellow coin, two and a half large yellow coins for a large white coin with the predator bird and dashedly ridged perimeter, two predator bird coins to the medium sized thick egg colored coin, two egg coins to the large anti-egg colored coin, two and a half anti-eggs to the red banknote (that used to be reddish brown) with Rákóczi, two red banknotes to the blue banknote with Mátyás, two blue banknotes to the dark brown banknote with Bethlen, two and half dark brown banknotes to the yellow banknote with Széchenyi (that used to be light brown), two yellow banknotes to the pink banknote (which can also be bluish grey, both are still in circulation) with István, two pink banknotes to the rainbow banknote with Deák (which used to be reddish grey). So simple, even a child can learn it.)

[Fyraltari]

Or, and hear me out, 100 cents of an Euro to one Euro. Two one-Euro coins to a two-Euro coin. Five one-Euro coins to a five-Euro bill. Two five-Euro bills to a ten-euro bills. Two ten-Euro bills to a twenty-Euro bill. Five ten-Euro bills to a fifty-Euro bill. Two fifty-Euro bills to a one-hundred-Euro bill. And five one-hundred-Euro bills to a five-hundred-Euro bill.

I know it’s complicated but I’m sure you Brits could pull it off given time and a portable calculator.
