	I was thinking that about Collins too, cocky, but looked it up, and the third man was Pete COnrad. Just happened to have the same start to his name.

	This is one of those times where you have no clue at all, give up, and then slap yourself when you see how obvious the answer was.

	April is not a holiday. Perhaps "Time" or something? Similarly, hexagons are not science - math is a much more appropriate category(as it is for "four"). Also, could you not pick a better example for the sample? Nobody has ever heard of Conrad or Bean. You've picked most of the obvious ones for the actual quiz, but maybe Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter?

	That was a very tricky quiz! I took the first thirty seconds or so just wrapping my mind around it. DO RE MI was a good baseline :)

	This has to be the first quiz in history where the Harry Potter answer was the least guessed.

	not a fan

	beatrixkiddo:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 07:02 GMT		8 points
	grr - this is one of those quizzes where i get the obscure (hy, he, li) but miss the obvious (ja, fe, ma & me ve, ea). headslap

	Azrael:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 07:42 GMT		23 points
	I'm surprised so many missed the Harry Potter-I thought the SO/PH made it a dead giveaway to anyone who knew the names of the books.

	Much harder than it looks!! I also didn't quite understand how it worked in the beginning, took me awhile... I agree with Alsadius above about making an easy one as the example.. Maybe the months, or the music one, or 123, whatever, to make the example more general for everyone.. The example did nothing for me... Or in the example explain what each of the 3 letter groups stood for..

	I liked this quiz - it was a bit quirky. Didn't get the Harry Potter answer though.

	greebles:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 10:45 GMT		65 points
	I love the "I don't like Harry Potter therefore it isn't literature" logic. Does it mean therefore that if you don't like Yemen, then it isn't a country?

	gbv:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 13:22 GMT		5 points
	A hidden comment mentions this, but the Simpsons one doesn't really fit--there is no particular order or sequence to those four characters. I suppose you could go by age, except there's no clear evidence as to whether Marge or Homer is older.

	Stran:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 13:34 GMT		4 points
	Loved it! Gets the old grey cells working :)

	Joe_Ball:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 14:23 GMT		12 points
	Fantastic quiz - I got stumped for a few seconds on Do Re Mi and then kicked myself for it. Really nice idea. I would be all for getting rid of the category clues altogether if something like this gets done again (and I would love if it did). It's amusing to see snobs claiming Harry Potter isn't literature, too - I say that as a lit student and not a massive fan of Harry Potter either, really. This is the "if people - especially people without a college education - enjoy reading it, it can't be literature" argument, and it's bull****.

	Expect to be voted down if you even hint that you don't love Harry Potter.

	JonnyWalker:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 15:02 GMT		1 point
	@Flick - Hey, So... Yeah... I had a quiz a lot like this that I contributed six months before yours. Most of the same clues too. I hope this was a case of "multiple discovery" and that you did not take influence from my quiz. Then again probably not cos mine only had about 130 plays back then so you probably never played it. It was Lists by First Letter http://www.sporcle.com/games/JonnyWalker/listfirstletter ... Sorry if I just sound jealous or whiny. Just noticed the similarities.

	oborosword:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 15:11 GMT		7 points
	@JonnyWalker, There is a good amount of overlap there but I'm sure that you two just had the same idea a few months apart.

	arism:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 16:05 GMT		1 point
	How did i manage to get the "highest populated countries" and the "greek alphabet" but not the "days of the week" or "months". I hate it when the simple ones get the best of me. :p

	Flick:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 16:38 GMT		7 points
	@JonnyWalker: You don't sound jealous or whiny at all. In fact if I was in your shoes I'd be making a very similar comment, and if there is any apologizing to be done, that duty falls to me for not finding it in my research before hand. Sorry

	I can't believe so little people got Goblet; I thought that was the easiest one because of the SO/PH clue!

	soccerlover:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 17:33 GMT		0 points
	Having read the first four Harry Potter books, I'm sure I'll hit myself on the head when someone answers this, but what is with the SO/PH? Obviously Sorcerer's Stone, but what does the PH mean?

	yankeespurs101:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 17:39 GMT		6 points
	^^ Thats the British book. The Philosophers stone

	interstate:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 17:47 GMT		7 points
	I like this quiz a lot. But identifying "do-re-mi-fa" as "Do-Re-Mi lyrics" seems a little off to me. The use of those syllables to identify the notes of a major scale is centuries older than that song from "The Sound of Music." Why not just identify them as "notes of a major scale"?

	hii531:	Feb 19th, 2011 at 19:05 GMT		-1 points
	cool idea but didn't make a lot of sense until saw the answers. at least I got do re mi. I feel pretty ashamed for not understanding harry potter.

	Minor nitpick here, but I'd be more at ease if the category for DO RE MI was "Solfege" and not "Do-Re-Mi Lyrics."
