	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		4 points
	Oh, I didn't even notice that. Gracias.

	fruscianteisgod:	Aug 20th, 2011 at 04:54 GMT		5 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		7 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.

	bmo1616:	Aug 20th, 2011 at 13:59 GMT		3 points
	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.

	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		4 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.

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

	bluerum29:	Jul 5th, 2012 at 16:36 GMT		1 point
	Yah, I was under the impression this was about popularity, not about searches. Whatever.
