	Fun quiz; the only thing I would recommend for the admins to change is to accept some abbreviations (JFK, WHH). But otherwise, well done.

	Ugh. I had 30 seconds left when I got to the end. I tried that guy for a few other answers, ones where I was able to pinpoint the timeframe of the hints to near his term. Then I forgot about him at the end.

	He would have been more memorable if his name was Fillard Millmore.

	camp david accords is too soon. Put that after the quotes. A few other questions could be moved up or down a spot or two but generally you've got something really good goin here.

	I think WHH is far too early — it's notable, but many sporclers know recent history far better.

	Is the lack of a trivia fact for Fillmore because everyone asked about his activities replied "I Know Nothing"?

	I'd have thought the Watergate clue was easier than several of those that came before it.

	I agree with atakdog. The William Harrison question is too early since there is almost a 15% drop from the previous question. Don't get me wrong, it's a significant fact that everyone should get to know, but I think the questions following it are much easier to get.

	Millard Fillmore's most enduring legacy is the fact that a conservative cartoon is named after him.

	"Shares his name with a major auto manufacturer" Though it makes it easy to answer, it doesn't exactly fall in line with almost every other clue, which are Presidential facts. This is just...an identification tool.

	Poor ___ ___. He didn't even get a proper clue.

	I don't know about WHH. Never heard him referred to by initials. But it's crazy not to accept JFK and FDR.

	tvfan3:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 20:51 GMT		3 points
	should accept jfk, fdr, tr, lbj etc

	1:49 left. Fun. Reminded me of that correspondence history course I took that I finished over a month after graduation date to get my bachelor's degree diploma.

	First time I got interrupted. Second time, I finished with only 3 seconds to spare. This was a fun one.

	I was expecting this to be done with increasingly less well known presidents, like the increasingly less well known capitals quiz, based on the results from the general presidents quiz. If so, Hayes would be last, and Arthur and Harding would be after Fillmore, who's only the 4th least known president. Echoing the comments above, WHH would barely make it into the first half if ranked according to the general quiz. I know the quiz says increasingly hard questions, but increasingly less known presidents would have let people last longer.

	I knew the front page pun would include taft in some way

	Because of Theodore Roosevelt, I wasted a lot of time typing FDR's full name and having it rejected. I therefore thought it was the wrong answer, although I couldn't imagine who else it would be, and tried everyone else. I then just took the lazy way and put in the last name, and of course it worked. But it spoils an otherwise good quiz to have only one form of a full name accepted, in this case using the middle initial, and making the quiz-taker guess what that form might be.

	I did really, really surprisingly well; three minutes, fifty-six seconds left. I don't think I can name the presidents in that short a time. I think the answering in order actually helped me, which is odd. I'm surprised that the Watergate clue is so low, I'd definitely think it's easier than Camp David and the short term.

	The second to last answer was the one that stonewalled me. Fortunately I had enough time to go through one by one and figure out who was missing, and then get the last one with :55 to go.

	The Boston Massacre clue is waaay too soon -- that's a tough and not well-known connection. Great quiz!

	Some of you are lying.

	Great quiz, but if you truly want it in order of "increasingly difficult hints" you should use the results to help you. Nixon is an absolute lay-up and should be even earlier. Even the worst history students in the world can get him, as shown by that fact that there was only a 0.1% drop to him. Some that are definitely too early based on the sharp drop are WHH and Carter. Good stuff, though.

	I kept trying to figure out whether the quiz was looking for Rutherford B. Hayes, Rutherford Birchard Hayes, or other combinations on "corrupt bargain" until I had a massive facepalm and realized that there were other presidents left that had interesting electoral deals.
