	Stunning to me that LeBron would be so low and Vince still so consistently high.

	HappyFlower:	Aug 12th, 2011 at 23:56 GMT	13 points
	@hollabackitsobi: The number on the left hand side of the graph is the scale. Vince only reached 4.0 at his height...Lebron hit 20.0.

	hollabackitsobi:	Aug 14th, 2011 at 23:31 GMT	3 points
	Oh, I didn't even notice that. Gracias.

	fruscianteisgod:	Aug 20th, 2011 at 04:54 GMT	4 points
	More time, as we're not trying to recall data, rather analyze 8 small versions of graphs (catch 22 that they would be better if larger, but then would make the quiz too hard to navigate)

	Blowfish_Hootie:	Aug 20th, 2011 at 06:15 GMT	6 points
	I think you should state up top somewhere that the y-axis on the various charts are not on the same scale. Sure, we can see that if we look, but I personally didn't even think to look at that, and when I saw how flat E was I immediately ruled it out for Lebron. The specific number of searches is not really relevant, only the timing of the spikes, so I doubt many people are really looking at the y-axis too closely.

	It would be funny if Lebron's spike down went to a dot that said South Beach, or when Artest's spike went up, a dot that said "The Stands".

	canada_please_eh:	Aug 20th, 2011 at 14:44 GMT	6 points
	It's "Dwyane".

	Benwins:	Aug 20th, 2011 at 17:07 GMT	3 points
	You might think about adding a note saying "Graphs are not to scale; use the numbers on the left instead" or something like that. I get that not having a warning is a way to reward the extra-observant ones, but if you don't notice the scales on the left than you pretty much get everything wrong.

	msteele13:	Aug 20th, 2011 at 17:58 GMT	4 points
	this isnt popularity in terms of how much they are liked, these are graphs about how often they are mentioned/searched

	kvizzle321:	Aug 21st, 2011 at 00:49 GMT	3 points
	"popularity" is a bad word in the title for this quiz. Ex: Lebron James- when he went to South Beach his popularity really went down, but the amount he was talked about went up

	HappyFlower:	Aug 21st, 2011 at 14:59 GMT	4 points
	Added a note in the heading about the Y-axis scale. Added 2 more minutes. Fixed spelling of Dwyane. Thanks for all comments.

	Golden:	Aug 21st, 2011 at 22:17 GMT	3 points
	Yeah lol, I did lebron first and didn't pick E either... it was a quick awakening as to the Y axis scale thing. However, because the note was already there, it was all my fault. It's just an unexpected hurdle for the quiz. Good idea though, how about a sequel?

	Golden:	Aug 21st, 2011 at 22:19 GMT	2 points
	Also, I think there is a flaw in saying these are 'popularity graphs'. LeBron trended due to his UNpopularity. It's another trick for the unwary. I don't have a solution for you there... but something to note.

Comment below threshold: show it

	You may want to mention that Derek Fisher's buzzer beater with 0.4 seconds left explains his 2004 spike.
