Spiro Agnew's first name is misspelled. And calling David Prowse the replacement for Hayden Christiansen is...kind of surreal.

@Tahnon- Spirow was a typow. Thanks for catching that. Prowse replaces Christensen in a kind of "Let's do the Time Warp" sort of way.

Well, I think James Earl Jones might have a "say" in that too...

Sure could've used an extra minute of two--I only got about halfway.

I think the matching set up and the numerous two-part entries make this harder than the first version (which was only 2 minutes). I've taken the timer up to three.

My mind would of course follow the logical progression George V ==> George VI

Is it only on my iPad that you get unlimited guesses? If not i think it should be changed.

...The stage was then set for the Alan Parsons project (which I believe was some sort of hovercraft).

Am I alone in thinking it'd seem more logical that the left-hand column, the one most people will look at first should be the person being replaced, not the other way round? That threw me at first.

Constantinople wasn't "replaced" by Istanbul anymore than the boxer Cassius Clay was "replaced" in the sport by Muhammad Ali. Constantinople IS Istanbul - in fact, according to Wikipedia, there are still some Eastern Orthodox Christian communities today that call it Constantinople. I also agree with Kiti ... it makes no sense at all for the replacements to be in the left column.

@Blowfish_Hootie: respectfully disagree on both of your points. The format of the quiz is "_____ replaced _____". It's in the quiz title. Further, the name "Istanbul" replaced the name "Constantinople". Of *course* "Constantinople IS Istanbul"; I really doubt that the quiz is arguing that the entire city of Constantinople moved and was replaced by a new city named "Istanbul". Ditto on Ali. The name replaced the name; no physical entities changed.

Short version: Kitimat88 is absolutely right and that issue has been fixed. Thanks!
Long version: I contributed this quiz right after the matching format was instituted and at that time the data had to be backwards in the data fields (that is, the 'hints' showed up in the left hand column and the 'answers' in the right hand column). Based on feedback, HQ changed that so that the data displays as it is on the data screen when you're creating the game. But I never went back and changed the data. Not only has the data now been fixed, but the game has been reset to a traditional clickable format to match Famous Replacements I.

@rct: no, the format of the quiz is "these people were replaced by ____" - it says it in the title. "pick the people who replaced each of these people" - those being replaced are the given, therefor they go first. As the quiz creator has acknowledged by fixing it.

It seems very strange to include Constantinople/Istanbul, given that the title of the quiz is "Can you pick the PEOPLE...".

Jefferson Airplane was only half replaced by Jefferson Starship. The other / better half was HOT TUNA!!!!!!!!!

Since there are many cases of 3 subsequent things (Chernenko/Andropov/Brezhnev, Craig/Brosnan/Dalton, and so on: I loved this feature btw) it seems like a shame that Constantinople-Byzantium isn't included.

It's designed to make mistakes, with 2 US presidents, 2 Russian leaders, 2 English kings... very, very tricky, even the devil has better thoughts than the author.

The groupings of three were too easy. I didn't know the succession of kings exactly, but I knew that Edward VIII couldn't replace himself, so by default it had to be George VI. The same goes for the presidents, Bonds, etc.
