please don't make us answer this one in order! Great idea otherwise.

Now I feel it maybe a bit too easy. Any suggestions besides forcing quiz takers to answer in order and/or shortening the time?

To make it more difficult, maybe you could ask which senator was replaced. (i.e. Clinton, Biden, Martinez, Obama).
