	"Röntgen" or "Roentgen." Not "Rontgen."

	DecoAoreste:	Nov 1st, 2011 at 19:29 GMT	-1 points
	Ouch.. only 15. Should have gotten Guyana, Nuremberg and Tutankhamen. Also, I missed 'crusades' because I just typed in 'crusade'. I think 'crusade' should be correct as well. o.o

	Colmar:	Nov 1st, 2011 at 20:24 GMT	2 points
	I can't be the only one who guessed Roentgenium. Gold Meir and Sirimavo Bandaranaike kept on distracting me from the Muslim female question.

	I think it's a disgrace that only 39% of sporclers got Ken Jennings correct.

	Suprised Tojo is the most missed...i missed xrays robin hood octavian and stupidly the crusades

	Volante:	Nov 1st, 2011 at 22:20 GMT	4 points
	What do you mean Toto didn't declare war on the US in 1941?! Look at that dog's beady eyes! He's always had it in for us!!

	Ulkomaalainen:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 01:33 GMT	1 point
	Some other ideas of alternate acceptable answers: "Nürnberg" and "Reichspogromnacht".

	Beatlezfann:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 01:37 GMT	3 points
	i guessed star trek 1000 times for the dr who hint thinking, "well, if its the sixties, science fiction, and tv it must be star trek" maybe reading the letters BBC might have helped.

	Anne Hathaway looks really, really good for someone who's over 450 years old.

	clapifyoulikeme:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 02:54 GMT	-4 points
	HELL YES FOR DOCTOR WHO BEING IN THERE.

	Rayavi:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 12:14 GMT	1 point
	Somehow missed November 12. For having such an affinity for Japan, you'd think I'd know more about their modern history.

	rgc1600:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 14:12 GMT	1 point
	Missed only The Crusades because clue said "this event." Obviously, not a single event.

	monstro:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 16:43 GMT	2 points
	"DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" ran on my birthday? I had no idea. (The date of my birth, not the year.)

	lexmith:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 19:01 GMT	3 points
	This empire entered WWI ... British? German? Russian? Austro-hungarian?

	ezois:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 20:23 GMT	9 points
	I tried and failed to spell Kristallnacht, and I could have entered it in English.

	CarpeDiem:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 19:29 GMT	6 points
	You really should accept Kristallnacht for Nov. 9. Students of history know it as this whether or not they speak German.

	troutlooker:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 02:10 GMT	1 point
	Kristallnacht I know. Night of broken glass? Never heard of it!

	History_Lover:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 20:08 GMT	2 points
	@ CarpeDiem and troutlooker: It has always accepted "Kristallnacht". I just tried it myself and it works. I can only assume that you didn't spell it correctly.
