I was bored one night, so I took the time to translate the quiz question that the Statue of
Liberty tests you to in level 5. She asks you a variety of questions about Japan, Konami,
enemies in the game, and of course, the Statue of Liberty itself. What's interesting is that while some of the questions
in the fan-made English translation are the same, others were either adapted or changed
around completely. I can understand why - some of them are pretty hard. Anyway, here are 
the original ones:

When you meet the Statue of Liberty:

You made it! I am the boss of this stage, Megami-chan!

VIII. If the weather satellite is called "HIMARI" (sunflower), what is the
communication satellite called?

1. Ume - Plum
2. Sakura - Cherry
3. Yuri - Lily *

(I had to do a bit of research on this one. Apparently there's an weather satellite
originated from Japan called Himari. The question is basically asking what flower
the Japanese communcation satellite is named after. I would have never known the answer
to this in a million years.)

(Cinnamon is the doctor from the Twinbee games. In Japanese, the spelling of his name
(Shinamon) is a lot closer to Simon (Shimon). Ralph is, of course, what Trevor is named
in Japan.

for information on Ijinkan, a European house located in Kobe. Marin Tower is somewhere in Hawaii. I'm assuming there
must be a Chinatown in Kobe then.)
