	Yeah the '90s were a blur. Especially since I was born in '93.

	Koltrane:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 04:25 GMT	5 points
	Pope John Paul II was Time's Man of the Year in 1994, yet he doesn't trigger an answer in that category.

	SteelyMatt:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 04:28 GMT	-1 points
	Well, I don't feel too bad. The five I failed to answer correctly were the five least guessed answers.

	Hejman:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 04:32 GMT	4 points
	@Koltrane- Both "Pope John Paul II" and "Pope John Paul 2" are answers in that blank. Just tested them both and they seem to be working.

	clapifyoulikeme:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 05:26 GMT	6 points
	I named every Alan Menken score, but not him. Reading comprehension fail.

	PurpleMonkey:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 06:34 GMT	64 points
	I got credit for answering "Milli Vanilli" but then Sporcle took it back.

	Adam3087:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 07:11 GMT	1 point
	So, there's a question about every sport champion except basketball?

	lestro: Because Tom Hanks AND Jeremy Irons are both acceptable answers, only one of them appears. For example, Geoffrey Rush would work, but Jeremy Irons is still going to appear because the creator listed the winners chronologically. Irons won Best Actor in 1990. I'm assuming it's the same for every other category.

	@Lestro: your guesses are correct... there are multiple answers for every question, ALL correct answers are accepted but only one example is shown per question.

	@foxruse21 and dummo, thank you for showing me the light and being supportive! I have definitely learned something tonight about multiple entries (I would have never thought of this elsewise) I was more just annoyed that when I entered something that seemed incorrect - a correct answer miracualously showed up in its place.

	lestro:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 08:22 GMT	22 points
	What I meant to say (to foxruse21 and dummo), but didn't finish, is that I thank you for your positive and supportive comments that helped me to learn something (instead of a usual bashing). I love Sporcle - yet I don't understand why people post such rude commments to eachother. I wouldn't have thought outside my box if it weren't for some of these people(foxruse21 and dummo).So thank-you! I really appreciate it!

	Bobman1: Meryl Streep won her only Oscar as lead actress (and that could soon change) for 1982's Sophie's Choice. Wonderful quiz.

	buckleppin:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 08:58 GMT	5 points
	@Koltrane @Hejman The Pope question accepts "John Paul II/2" while the Time Person of the Year seems to require "Pope John Paul II/2". Which I understand but it's still a little pernickety.

	Hejman:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 13:25 GMT	11 points
	@lestro- It's a great question and I'm glad you got the right answer to it. Sadly, the anonymity of the internet often leads people to check their manners at the door. As others have pointed out, there isn't room to display all of the answers and so (taking the lead from Flick's awesome letter blitz series) I have displayed only one answer per category. @Bobman1- I generally displayed answers in chronological order but sometimes put in an answer that I thought more people would be familiar with to show that the categories were not impossibly hard. @buckleppin- Oh no, I've been pernickety! It wasn't on purpose, I assure you. I'll go and add the options without "Pope" in front. Thanks for catching that!

	90's were a blur to me...of course being in college had something to do with it.

	banutzu:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 17:21 GMT	-1 points
	i typed green bay packers - nothing came up?

	idledandy:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 18:57 GMT	1 point
	This is a good quiz, but I don't like how many answers work for multiple questions. For example, if you know who the pope was, you get credit for Man of the Year, too. I would get rid of the pope question.

	myitbos:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 18:59 GMT	3 points
	Hah...Would probally not have gotten the Tony Award question but got a freebie by guessing right with the Oscar winning film.

	mccat:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 19:13 GMT	6 points
	Is there any way to see a list of all the correct answers> Preferably without googling them all individually.

	Hejman:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 19:38 GMT	2 points
	@mccat- Sure email me and I'll send you the data. @bantzu- See note at the top, "For professional sports teams enter the team name, not the city." Reading the directions- it's always a good idea!

	gigimacmurray:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 20:58 GMT	0 points
	I was also typing in Meryl Streep, but that didn't work, nor did Pope John Paul II. And I never cann guess the British sports teams.

	Stran:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 21:26 GMT	1 point
	Ashley, really??

	urop:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 23:30 GMT	1 point
	4/30, I don't feel too bad though since I was only born in '95.
