	It would be more fun as a TWO minute blitz...that would give you a shot at all of them anyway!

	No kidding--or even three. At only one minute, it's more of a typing test than a test of knowledge.

	it's really boring when you know there is no way you can finish one of these no matter how fast you type.

	Carolanus, Corolanius, Coriolanius, Coriolanus! Times Up!

	The whole point of a 60 Second Blitz is to see how many you can name in one minute. It's nearly impossible to get all the answers in most 60 Second Blitz quizzes. As with many of them, there's a longer version of this one if you want more time: http://www.sporcle.com/games/shakespeare.php

	About 30 seconds in, the play 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' got stuck in my head despite the fact it was written 400 years after Shakespeare and would be the worst title to think of when trying a 60 second blitz

	I knew I was screwed when the first thing I typed was "hemlet". Where's autocorrect when you really need it?

	Anyone who knows all of Shakespeare's plays AND can type 118 wpm has likely just failed the Turing Test...

	Should really take Arabic numerals in place of the Roman numerals- I thought I had something wrong when "Richard 3" wouldn't go.

	WyattsTorch:	May 11th, 2011 at 21:31 GMT		2 points
	@catcherj: no way. They are literally never published that way, so it shouldn't be allowable on a quiz that is both true to Shakespeare and dependent upon fast keystrokes.

	@catcherj: I initially thought the same thing, but then I realized that the titles are written with the Roman numerals, not the Arabic ones. It's correct not to take the Arabic numbers. Cost me a few seconds, too, but it's still fun.

	Hmm... I first tried "scottish play" for Macbeth, but it didn't work. For us theater geeks out there, would you please accept that as well? :) Thanks.

	This would have been a lot easier if the darn pop up ad didn't make it so I can't type for the first full three seconds.

	Anyone done it yet?

	tigerschick:	May 12th, 2011 at 05:55 GMT		1 point
	@White - it would seem not, tho at the moment, the stats page is showing 0.7% have got 30-34 right! My last 11 seconds were spent trying to get my fingers to spell Cleopatra correctly ... only to find I'd put an h in Antony! :o)

	OK, onto the 10-minute version......

	matt01:	May 12th, 2011 at 20:22 GMT		0 points
	I don't take it up the coriolanus. Got 10 due to not enough time.

	ScottLA:	May 13th, 2011 at 01:49 GMT		2 points
	Why couldn't I think of nice short names like "Othello" and "As You Like It" instead of "The Merry Wives of Windsor"...

	Digga:	May 13th, 2011 at 15:23 GMT		1 point
	could you accept 12th night?
