	Clark's first name should only have one 'r'

	You spelled Tesla's first name wrong. It should be Nikola, not Nicola. Columbus is also misspelled. Take away the spelling errors and you have a satisfactory quiz. (5/5)

	Please accept Gaius/Caius for Caesar. The Roman praenomen is the equivalent to the modern given or first name. Julius is not his "first" name.

	Nice job with this one. I'd like it if you accepted "Augustus" for Caesar, too. I know Caesar's a title and I don't want to open up a huge can of worms, but I think Augustus is well-known enough to merit the alternate answer.

	Julius was his last name, not first. His first name was Gaius. Although he is most referred to as Caesar that is not his name, it is a title. @dolebanana, Like Caesar, Augustus is a title, it is latin for 'revered one'. His first name was Octavian.

	Accept Josef for Stalin, as I've seen it translated from Russian that way

	@Raynard Caesar was his last name or cognomen. It was only used as a title after the death of Nero starting with the reign of Galba. The Caesar mentioned in the quiz is most likely the Julius Caesar everyone knows about so accepting Augustus wouldn't be right. And given Roman naming conventions, Julius (his nomen) would equate to a modern day middle name.

	Octavian and Julius Caesar both had the same first name, Gaius.

	How is Marx a politician?

	EvanWill:	May 26th, 2011 at 02:38 GMT	1 point
	Marx was labeled a politician because that was the closest label to him that applied, in my opinion. If you suggest something i may change it. Spelling errors have been altered, always appreciate the feedback.

	There are several other famous politicians named Gandhi -- Indira and Rajiv in particular.
