	What's cool about Donner is in Sweden they sell delicious Reindeer meat takeaway food that looks like donner kebab.

	If only last names were acceptable for the Brady category...

	The problem with these grab bag quizzes is that some of the categories are hopelessly unattainable for some people. For example, while I got 9/9 on the baseball positions, I wouldn't expect anyone outside the U.S. or Canada to get many of them, and it's not their fault. Similarly, I got 0/9 on the Brady Bunch because I'm too young to have ever watched it. And finally, I don't care which country/planet you're from, if you know the nine muses off the top of your head, then good job.

	And I still missed the Billiard Room, even with the Billiard Balls category staring me in the face...!

	Actually I've just tried answering the question - the answers are neither billiards nor snooker, but pool! What an extremely ill-informed question. As a former professional question-setter, the one thing I learned was to be certain that the answers to questions that you set are 100% accurate and not capable of misinterpretation.

	This was a fun quiz! I think it ought to have been called "Eminent Enneads," but that's because I'm the sort of person who can name more Muses than Bradys.

	To those complaining about non-Americans not being able to get the US Supreme Court judges, note that I, as an American, was not able to get a single one. You are not alone.

	I'm Canadian and I got eight of the nine justices. I must be an age thing, but I couldn't come up with any of the ring characters. Also, as noted above those are snooker balls, not billiards. And I've always played with a pink ball, not orange.

	The Greek muses weren't spelled like I learned them. I got the Supreme court judges, most of the billiard balls, the Muses I could figure out, and a few Bradys. Oh yes and the 9 positions in baseball which I consider way more interesting than LOTR.

	Didn't know the last member of the ring, so I tried "faramir's brother"...didn't work...

	Wow, it took more than two whole years after being contributed for this quiz to be published. Gives me hope!

	FelixtheBear:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 19:26 GMT		22 points
	I'm American and was able to name 8 of 9 justices and all the LOTR characters but not a single Greek muse. Now that I've taken this quiz, I will hopefully remember some of the muses in the future. Maybe the same thing will happen for someone who didn't know any of the U.S. justices. Isn't that the point of Sporcle, to have fun and hopefully learn something while doing it? If every quiz tried to appeal to every person's interests and knowledge regardless of nationality, age, or any other category there'd never be that opportunity.

	@UncleLew, they aren't snooker balls, they are american pool balls.

	hey dipayanban, just because youre young doesnt mean you shouldnt be able to know. there are reruns and movies. by your rational you should no everything about everything going on now.

	WyattsTorch:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 20:39 GMT		26 points
	How can people say this is too Amero-centric? I think the LOTR questions make it too Middle Earth-centric, the Reindeer questions make it too North Pole-centric, and the Muses make it too Greco-centric. So there!

	geome12:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 20:40 GMT		-3 points
	Didn't get any suprene court justices and 3 clue rooms. Got all of the LOTR characters and billiard ball colors though. Might come as a bit of a surprise given i am a 13 year old American.

	Missed the center midfield one because I spell it 'centre'. Also surprised there's no bedroom in Cluedo!

	people seriously need to stop complaining, whether your american, or "non-american", or if your young, or old, or whatever... nobodys gonna know everything... the more you do these quizzes, maybe the more you learn :) That is if you take the time to do so...

	and i tried sam (butcher) for brady bunch, and got samwise from LOFT -- thanks for the free answer :) that and frodo, got 2 lol -- think thats a record!!

	Couldn't get any of the supreme court justices. Not surprising considering I'm British. Did get some baseball positions though (I've seen field of dreams)

	@mikefromboston The Brady Bunch aired until 1974, or 23 years before I was born. I have a legitimate excuse to have no clue about that TV show, because I don't spend my day watching reruns on TV Land or whereever. However, I do know that the Battle of Tours was in 732, the First Crusade began in 1095, and the Declaration was signed in 1776. Why? Because they are important to know, even though they occurred centuries before my birth.

	I got 8 out of 9 from LOTR because I didn't know how to spell Mari's name... fail.

	BanjoZebra:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 21:21 GMT		4 points
	Great job! The whole nine yards.

	devilsfan15:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 21:26 GMT		2 points
	I'm impressed with anyone who came up with the Greek muses. I could only think of Salma Hayek who played a muse in one of Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob movies. Then again, I think I would prefer to think about Salma Hayek rather than some obscure Greek mythological muse any day of the week!

	Gee whiz...I typed in "tan" and got credit for "m****n". Must be my lucky day!
