I never figured out how to do the fancy characters, so can Andy Garcia with the standard English "i" be an acceptable answer, please? And are Jolie and Pitt officially married, or are they just one of those couples who live and raise a family together?

I have to admit that I am embarrassed and ashamed to have gotten AZ correct. I spent way too much time in my teens watching crap this guy did that I am dumber for having watched (although TJ Hooker and "Bachelor Party" were by far his best work.)

Good quiz. Two minor suggestions: 1) For AB, accept "Alexander Bell" to go along with the subject of the quiz and 2) For AV, it technically should be "Former Major League Baseball player". You could shorten it to "Former MLB player" if you need the space. I know people should realize he's a former player since he debuted in 1983 but not everyone will.

Pretty sure 'AS' would have been much higher if his mother had married Mr Schmid.

For AX, to make it complete, you could have Abel Xavier, a Mozambique-born Portuguese footballer whose clubs included Liverpool, Roma and LA Galaxy, best remembered for his eccentric hairstyles - otherwise a very good quiz...

just a guess, but looks like (from the archived comments) AV was changed from Andy Van Slyke to Amerigo Vespucci. FOR SHAME!!!

Anthony Quinn has won TWO Oscars, yet the clue only mentions a film he was nominated for? Doesn't seem right.

@MovieDynamic: I think it's reasonable. After all, the ones he won for were supporting roles, while he was the star in "Zorba the Greek" -- and, arguably, it's the best known of the films in question.

North and South America were almost certainly NOT named about Amerigo Vespucci. If they had been named after him, they would have been named North and South Vespuccia or similar, or more likely after the name of the king of Portugal at the time Manuel...

@ milkmeister: Whether or not the Americas are actually named after Amerigo Vespucci is certainly disputed, but since it's a popular belief with some foundation to it (ex: Martin Waldseemüller's map in 1507), the clue for his name is appropriate for this quiz.

Ya I was taught in elementary school that America was named after Amerigo so I got that one easily. Also proud that I spelled AL right on the first try!!

@queLinda: I don't dispute this is the common belief, I am simply stating that it is not fact, which is implied by the clue. Many historians believe the Americas were named after Dafydd ap Meric for instance.

@milkmeister - "Many historians"? The name has exactly two hits on Google, one of them is this quiz, and the other is some commenter with no credentials on the Guardian website who admits that he wants to believe it because he used to live in Bristol and doesn't understand that "Amerigo" in Latin is "Americus."

Okay, I looked it up a bit more, you're thinking of Richard Amerike, something like two people think it's named for him. Not really "many historians."
