Sorry, I searched the taskbar but I guess it's not very helpful. Updated to be unique. ;)

No problem... I totally understand that Sporcle's search box isn't exactly Google. Thanks for changing the quiz a bit!

It doesnt bother me when a quiz subject is re-done..as long as there is some difference.

This ranks well up there in the quizzes with the biggest ratio of "quality" (high) to "answers I get right" (low). Especially if you factor in "answers I should have gotten but didn't", i.e., pretty much all of them. Nice quiz!

There's loads missing i.e. Hannah. You need to do way more research into this so you've got a complete list.

What's the record for the lowest-rated comment in Sporcle history? I think the one directly above is going to make a real run at it if this quiz ever gets published. "Hannah" is not among the top 1000 surnames in the U.S., let alone the top 200. ("Hanna" is 887th - http://names.mongabay.com/data/1000.html) BTW @detektor, nice quiz as usual.
