    Pedant time: Pluto is not a planet and Gin is flavoured with juniper berries (amongst other things) rather than made from them

    Not arguing:

    Pluto isn’t a planet, but still called a dwarf planet.

    It can’t be called a Gin unless it has juniper berries in it.

    It's a dwarf planet as in the question. I thought more would be having a dig at question 13.
