I put these in random order and only realized later that "Hitler made Chancellor of Germany" was immediately followed by "HITLER DEAD". If only it had happened that quickly in real life.

Seeing the early results, I've dropped the time from five minutes to four. Is that still too long? I'm looking for the balance between having time to go through and go back where necessary and having enough time to randomly guess.

Anyway to add time to the picture display? The biggest trouble I had was staying in synch between the pictures and the clue box.

There isn't, but you can just pause it and manually go through at whatever speed you prefer.

I had the same problem as rockgolf, but when i tried to go through manually it all froze on me, idk if i had it on pause or something still, or if my computer is just retarded, probly a combo of both... fun quiz though

Great quiz! I liked it for the fact that none of the headlines was that obscure - you know the event but not the year it happened :D Elizabeth being crowned is a stinker :P

There isn't enough time to enter them all if you do the slideshow manually.

I think 4 minutes is just right. I missed one, but just barely, and I could have had time if I weren't guessing every year for half a decade for a couple events. Also, you probably don't want to do this because it's a a pain, but you might want to zoom in a little on Hitler being elected chancellor. The date is pretty clear in the headline of the article in the top right about Gov. Lehman raising taxes.

Not too easy if you're not american... but being german, I can't complain. Missed one, didn't even know where to begin to guess.

Loved it, perfect amount of time I think, I finished with about 13 seconds left and everyone loves a nailbiter. Also, Hejman, where did you find all those (one source? many Google searches?)

@darthplaydoh- Many, many internet searches. A few of them even popped up because they were for sale on E-bay!

Time is too short - you'll note that the least two guessed answers are the last two pictures. This indicates that many people don't reach them. An extra 30 seconds would help.
