	I put this together trying to touch on as many of the Sporcle categories as possible. The Oscar category is for movies, the World Series is sports, the elements for science, the Pulitzers for literature, the head of state for history, the Glenn Miller singles for music, the D-Day beaches for mscl., Who's on First for entertainment and host cities for geography. Language, just for fun, religion and holiday didn't really fit and, of course, TV was in it's infancy.

	Chamberlain/Churchill/Attlee were not heads of state, and neither was Stalin. You need to change this category to heads of government (or change the answers to George VI and Kalinin). Also, you need to accept "Roosevelt" for, um, Roosevelt.

	@JayZed- excellent point- 'state' has been changed to 'government'. Roosevelt was always accepted as was his full name, full name without middle name and "FDR".

	That was darn hard! Strange though - I got London but it didn't "take". The answer filled in, but the results show I missed it and it's at 0%.

	Ah yes, so it is. I must have been persistently mistyping it before.

	London still isn't working. Got the same result as caramba did. Also, might want to accept "I don't give a damn" for who's on first, as they used that as well.

	Hejman:	Sep 4th, 2010 at 01:52 GMT	2 points
	I don't gave a damn is accepted, I just didn't think it was appropriate to display it on Sporcle. I don't care is also a valid answer. I have no explanation for why London appears but doesn't get counted in the results.

	@caramba - wouldn't show London as accepted on the results page despite doing so on the main page for me either - same with Utah. Completely fail to understand the Infielders round - what does that pertain to?

	Hejman:	Sep 18th, 2010 at 20:09 GMT	2 points
	@Squiffy- "Who's on First" is a comedy routine by Abbott and Costello. It is, perhaps, the most famous comedy routine in history.

	Maybe a little more time.
