@HenryFieldstone Well, I made this quiz a month ago, and haven't posted it, so clearly it is brilliant and I must nominate it. I'd probably up the timer to 4 minutes, because about 1/3 of those letters are really hard to come up with.

Wouldn't increase the amount of time - simply keep playing the quiz and these single answers become ingrained. Look at the some of the comments on the "name all 118 elements of the periodic table" quiz. Many people failed miserably on their first attempts, and now they can complete the entire table in about half the allotted time!

I see a serious drop-off after the letters covered by the Zodiac. Makes sense - those are the letters I got!

Woopee, the Dippers are asterisms, not constellations. The Big Dipper is actually a part of Ursa Major, I believe.

I got Fornax. Missed obvious ones, got Fornax. Sporcolosis strikes again.

I keep typing star names by mistake. Also annoyed at forgetting Boötes, because it has the cool umlaut (diaeresis).

Nearly 5% got Reticulum?! Y'all must live in the south. The deep south; like Australia.

I guess the constellation Mensa is the smartest of all the constellations!
