Reminds me of when I answered a trivia question & was told that was wrong. The question was, "What three animals were in the movie 'The Incredible Journey'. " My answer was a Siamese cat, a bull tarrier, and an Irish setter.
The answer on the card was, "Two dogs and a cat." So I had obviously erred in my answer.  |
Actually, the answer they were looking for included the area behind the goal posts ... but I'm sure that's why a lot of people get it wrong.
It's like when they ask "What star is closest to the Earth." Well, duh, the Sun is a star, so the answer is the Sun. A lot of people (who really know better) say "Alpha Centauri" or 'Proxima Centauri."
That's sort of the problem with your answer to the "IJ" question. Since they asked for "animals" rather than "breeds" they were looking for a more general answer.
Those games test not only arcane knowledge but try to trick you with semantic traps.
