	Hello guys, I just wanted to say that if you had anything to say, I would love to hear it because I spent a lot of time making this and I wouldn't want that work to go to waste so please leave comments if you have anything to say. Thanks and enjoy the game

	It's DJOKOVIC, not Djikivic.

	Fixed it thanks

	Wouldn't "Turkish politician" make a lot more sense than "Neo-Ottoman"?

	tobinw:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 05:14 GMT		5 points
	No Zuckerberg, Gates, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, Hu, Cameron, Putin, Panetta, Geithner, Bernanke... but Jeremy Lin, Claire Danes, Chelsea Handler, Louis CK, and Tim Tebow? Really, Time? Really? Thanks for the effort with the quiz, by the way. I enjoyed taking it even if I disagree with a lot of it.

	BuddyBoy77:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 12:52 GMT		2 points
	@tobinw thank you very much, i was also confused on many of these but I guess Time thought most of these people deserved a spot so I guess we have to agree. @johnlk thanks for the advice, I hadn't heard about him so I just gave the description that they gave me, so thank you

	Endaf:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 23:03 GMT		1 point
	Yes it's not a great list - but that's Time's responsibility rather than BuddyBoy77. However, I should point out that Goodluck Jonathan is the incumbent president of Nigeria, not the former president.

	@endaf, thanks I fixed it

	Please accept 'Kim' since that's his surname according to Korean naming conventions.

	stpgnrvr:	Apr 21st, 2012 at 19:33 GMT		-1 points
	ummm tebow is a self rightous piece of crap and jeremy lin only was good for like two weeks that you time for being irrelevant already

	kcostell:	Apr 21st, 2012 at 20:33 GMT		1 point
	I would have liked it if some of the clues were a bit less cryptic and more easily identifiable to people who haven't read the specific issue of Time in question. Instead of just saying "Chief Operating Officer", why not say "Chief Operating Officer of Facebook"? Similarly, you could say "Chief Justice of Pakistan", "Senator from Florida", "Statistician and Creator of Gapminder", and a whole bunch of other things. Basically the idea would be to make it so that the clues themselves narrow things down enough to make each answer gettable.

	@kcostell, thank you for the suggestions and I changed each of the less detailed hints to more descriptive ones. Thank you for reminding me of that because I was thinking of doing that the day after I contributed this but i forgot so thank you

	Xi should work for Xi Jinping, as well.

	The wording "Protestor against women not being able to be drive in Saudi Arabia" could be tweaked a little.

	totesmagotes5:	Apr 24th, 2012 at 04:15 GMT		2 points
	"Presedential" is spelled wrong in Romney's clue - should be "presidential." Great quiz - I'd heard about the list and thus encountered some new names, so it was a challenge to try to remember them.

	DrDolittle:	Apr 24th, 2012 at 10:02 GMT		0 points
	Please accept Ayatollah Khomeini, never seen the spelling - Ayatullah Ali Khamenei before. Thanks.

	Azrael:	Apr 24th, 2012 at 18:57 GMT		1 point
	@ DrDolittle: Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are two different people.

	I guess you probably copied the descriptions from somewhere, but there is a really strange variation in clue difficulty, from the totally obvious -- Hey the guy that hosts the Colbert Report is named Colbert -- to the utterly incomprehensible -- Islam Politician? What? First of all Islam isn't an adjective; secondly, that could be any number of people in dozens of countries. Maybe I'm just bitter that the "Turkish Politician" clue wasn't more specific, I spent a good two minutes remembering Erdogan lol.

	Just one more example -- we get President of the USA for a really famous person but we only get "chief prosecutor" for a person who hasn't even taken that office yet. What's said is that as a law student, I actually would know it if you had said Incoming Chief Pros. of the ICC or something reasonable.

	BuddyBoy77:	Apr 24th, 2012 at 23:33 GMT		1 point
	@Cecispanda. I appreciate that you took the time to write that comment and help me with the descriptions, but could you please tell me who you want changed and to what name. Anyone else who wants something changed, please tell me who you want to be changed (I mean the hint of course) and what you want it to be changed to. Thanks, Buddyboy77

	what do tim tebow, stephen colbert, kate middleton, and rihanna have in common? (besides fame of course)
