	Change United States of America to just United States, or even just US or USA. No one says United States of America in the world of Sporcle.

	make more answers acceptable for the 10 commandments. we shouldn't have to recite them verbatim.

	couldn't really work out the wording for some of the commandments although i knew them. they're the only weak link in an otherwise great quiz.

	Fidelio:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 07:56 GMT		4 points
	If you're going to leave the commandments as they are, then more time is necessary, because it takes a while to figure out the wording. I'd recommend going with the most famous translations (you know, with all the thous and the shalts), and then also accepting the more modern-sounding versions as alternate answers, and (most importantly) accepting keywords as alternate answers. "Steal," "adultery," "idols," "false idols"...all of those should work, ideally.

	there's no apostrophe in monsters, inc.

	I seem to have learned the Ten Commandments a little differently, apparently.

	BMurray:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 14:42 GMT		3 points
	I copied them directly from the original Sporcle quiz, just as I did with the other nine categories here. If most people would prefer them to be switched out with something else, please let me know. I tried to include as many variable answers as I could, but I can understand the frustration.

	Gah I wish I would have guessed Darkness at Noon! It's what I'm reading now!

	Clarify that the Modern Library ranking is for the 20th century. I also recommend changing the 10 commandments to something else because different religions have different views on what the 10 actually are.

	match:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 17:57 GMT		1 point
	Great idea, but you definitely need to allow more variation in answers - especially in 10 commandments. Nice start though.

	rmmayhem:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 17:57 GMT		1 point
	Tried several ways of saying ten commandments, more options regarding wording would have helped

	Graven image! Always include the graven image!

	different branches of Christianity have different ten commandments (though mostly the same).These 10 seem to be anglican/many Christian faiths. Catholics and Lutherans combine false idols and one true god into one commandment but split up coveting of neighbor's house/goods and neighbor's wife. Judaism combines both of the above mentioned but include the preface, "I am the Lord, thy God." as a commandment all itself. Not sure how one would build in the flexibility for that.

	LinuxLinus:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 20:03 GMT		1 point
	I knew at least five commandments that I couldn't find the wording for. I suspect they're just not very amenable to this kind of exercise.

	ASC18:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 22:07 GMT		-1 points
	it should be north america not just united states

	BMurray:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 23:47 GMT		3 points
	Okay, I've made some changes. I got rid of the categories "Ten Commandments" because it's difficult to provide enough alternatives (a problem I probably should have foreseen) and "Modern Library's 100 Greatest Novels," simply because no one seemed to be getting them. Let me know what you think of the new categories.

	Nice catch, I didn't even realize. I changed it again.

	The AFI 100 Best Movies is the old list made in 1997, there was a new list made in 2007 that is different and that is the list that's on Sporcle

	How did you choose these quizzes? It seems kind of random. With the original one, it was the top 10 most played quizzes. I don't see where these came from. If you're going to call it the Top 10 Top 10, you need to actually have the Top 10 quizzes

	BMurray:	Feb 12th, 2010 at 20:30 GMT		2 points
	A lot of the quizzes after the first 10 don't really lend themselves to top ten lists for various reasons (like the necessity of hints). With that, I just chose ten random ones from the list of the most-played. I didn't call it the Top 10 Top 10, just 10 Top 10. Though I'll be the first to admit that AdmiralMaxtreme's quiz is probably better than mine; I'm sort of working with what's left in a well-liked style.

	The top US universities according to who? Where's Dartmouth?

	@willwo they're the US News and World Report rankings, Dartmouth is ranked 11th.
