	There are 6 Olympian females; the quiz is missing Hestia (the goddess of hearth and home). http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/greekgods

	:/ I missed triangle.

	I wonder what it says about our society that every one of the football teams was guessed by at least 45% of quiz takers but only one of the Shakespeare plays got at least 45% and most of them got under 30%. (I personally got every football team but only 4 of the 8 plays). I guess football is the Shakespeare of our day.

	There aren't any olympians on the quiz; the note should be removed.

	"Enneagon" could be accepted as as alternative to "nonagon". Although the word is less known, enneagon is technically more correct as it comes from two Greek roots, while nonagon is a mix of Latin and Greek. (The same happens with hendecagon / undecagon, both of which are accepted). @runnrchic: I also tried Hestia (Vesta for the Romans) unsuccessfully. I thought that if the three largest asteroids (Ceres, Pallas [=Athena] and Juno) were there, probably the fourth one (Vesta) could be. @ems24: you're right, the question was replaced by the books of the Torah a few minutes ago but the note about the goddesses is still there.

	you cant erase the comments lol... most you guys can do is keep voting it down till it goes in hiding... unless the admins erase it, or runnrchic can, i don't think flick can though... love how it took me to less than 1 minute to realize it was ENDING in E, not starting with E, kept trying Eisenhower, thinking maybe i misspelled his name!!

	You need a "5" in front of "Books of the Torah."

	Reywas92:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 18:21 GMT	8 points
	It should be 4 US Presidents' Surnames. It's plural, so the apostrophe goes after the s!

	Cecispanda:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 18:58 GMT	5 points
	Minor bit of pedantry -- The Merchant of Venice should come before The Merry Wives of Windsor, assuming you want them in alphabetical order, which the rest suggest you do :). Also for some reason I always thought it was A Winter's Tale, but alas I am wrong.

	ezois:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 18:58 GMT	-2 points
	Hmmm. I got the presidents, the polygons, books of the Torah, the most transplanted organ and Marge Simpson's sisters, though fortunately I didn't need their last names. Odd.

	its interesting that all of Shakespeare's plays that begin with "the" are comedies.

	GAThrawn:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 19:10 GMT	2 points
	You should accept "CAR" for Central African Republic. All the other quizzes accept it that way, and it cost me an answer :(

	How can I get the Comedy of Errors yet I miss the Tempest...

	Cecispanda:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 19:41 GMT	4 points
	@Beatlez -- that's partially a naming convention from well after Shakespeare's time. As mentioned above a bunch of the others were "The Tragedy of" such and such, but for whatever reason that's usually been dropped, including at the source for this quiz.

	Flick:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 20:10 GMT	4 points
	@runnrchic: thanx for spotting the missing Olympian and sporcle HQ for changing the question so quickly. @GAThrawn: 'CAR' is an acceptable answer.

	Why is it that dodecahedron easily springs to mind, yet I don't think I've ever even heard of a dodecagon? Something went terribly wrong in my primary school education.

	Bobman1:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 21:36 GMT	3 points
	I agree about "A" Winter's Tale. I got it right out of desperation, but always assumed it started with A. Need to check my tattered leather 19th Century copies before they fall apart entirely. Dang, this was a fun mix, that thankfully didn't include Pokemon, video/computer games, Potter (Horcruxes and Weasleys come to mind), or the 12 days of Christmas. Way to go! Probably a lot of sequel material--Ocean's 11/12/13 characters, Bond movies named after the villain, Santa's reindeer, 7 dwarfs, D-Day beaches, Battleships sunk at Pearl Harbor, triple crown winners, ....

	THE Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet?

	dancastro:	Dec 30th, 2011 at 23:28 GMT	5 points
	@Niques: the most likely reason why you remember "dodecahedron" better than "dodecagon" is that the dodecahedron is one of the regular polyhedra (tetrahedron, hexahedron a.k.a. cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron). It's mathematically impossible to have more than these five. But the dodecagon has nothing special and is only one more polygon (with 12 sides, but you can have polygons of whichever number of sides you want).

	I was hoping for a bonus on "The Scottish Play".

	Rachelkachel:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 00:26 GMT	2 points
	Three categories were completely impossible for me. But I managed to come up with all the Shakespeare plays, so I'm happy.

	Hey I notice a complete lack of Kyrgyzstan in this quiz... :)

	What do you mean "The Hamlet" is not an acceptable answer? It's Shakespeare's most beloved play about a sleepy little town in Denmark. Oh and there might be a prince in it or something.

	sporcyou:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 09:19 GMT	3 points
	don't most of the history plays technically start with "the"? like, "the history of king richard iii", etc?

	Honest_John:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 10:56 GMT	1 point
	Excellent quiz with a wide variety of categories too.

	sasquatch:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 21:53 GMT	1 point
	Why doesn't it accept team cities for the the 7 consecutive super bowl winners? I typed both miami and green bay to no avail. all other quizzes accept just team cities

	pete32782:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 23:46 GMT	2 points
	Always thought it was A Comedy of Errors.

	sporcling123:	Jan 1st, 2012 at 20:55 GMT	4 points
	I misunderstood the Presidents category and couldn't figure out why "Eisenhower" wasn't working -_-

	If you're gonna call it the Torah, allow the Hebrew names of the books, please!
