Hey guys, I was wondering, does having 30 right answers and 20 wrong answers make it too hard or is that okay. Please let me know.

Way too much time. Could probably cut it all the way down to 1 minute. Finished in 37 seconds...

I lowered the time to 6 minutes.

Take away the ridiculous ones, that's just lame. Also, replace the soccer teams with maybe former pro team names or something. Those are kind of obvious too. And lower the time to no more than 2 minutes, I finished in 30 seconds and 76% are getting everything right.

@NS7: All fixed. Replaced all of the ridiculous ones, and replaced the soccer teams. I also lowered the time to 2 minutes. Thank you for the helpful suggestions.

Oilers is not wrong -- there's a team in Edmonton in the NHL, which is always part of the Big Four in America.

It's understandable. You're probably still in disbelief for 1988 and 1990. ;)

@hibernia: So True. @pamrehin, I don't know why you think this, because I do have other former teams in there, and that is just a decoy. If I had no decoys then the game would be really easy and not fun to play. You could make the same argument for teams like the nordiques, expos, staleys or pilots.

AC Milan is real. I know it's not a "big 4" American team, but it's still real. Kind of misleading.

I finished one short, and then my score dropped to 29. There is a software glitch out there somewhere.

I got them all right but it says I got just 30. Overall, this quiz is kind of boring and easy. Bad job.

If you got rid of all the soccer teams, why is AC Milan there? Oh, and I'm also getting the 30/40 problem...

Buddyboy-check your data and see if you still have some glitches on the info page or the options page. It is still giving 30/40 credit. Seems that there might be some 'ee' somewhere.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience, but I cannot find any problem with how the data was entered. Also, when I first contributed this quiz, there was nothing wrong with it, or at least no one told me, but I do not know how to fix it because everything seems to be alright. If you have any ideas of what may be wrong please let me know.

the hornets have now officially changed their name to the pelicans.... but keep the hornets in there because it will be a good way to trick a lot of people
