	Naturally there will be a few mistakes etc so please tell me any that you find so that I can fix them

	thesauce:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 20:14 GMT		2 points
	I thoroughly enjoyed this. The only thing I could think to add would be Supernintendo Chalmers to the C's for Simpsons characters.

	crabs_and_herps:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 20:21 GMT		6 points
	I'd add AI Artificial Intelligence to Spielberg movies and then Duffman to Simpsons characters. This was fun - hope you do the rest of the alphabet!

	btroup1:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 20:25 GMT		2 points
	What's wrong with dates?

	Sheldon:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 20:29 GMT		2 points
	AI Artificial Intelligence should be there already and so should Duffman. ill go check those out. Ill see if Dates are in there or not and will add them in if they arent and superintendent is in there but ill also add supernintendo cos its funny. haha.

	America:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 20:38 GMT		2 points
	There may be a glitch, but I tried AI Artificial Intelligence and it still didn't work.

	Sheldon:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 20:38 GMT		3 points
	OK so the problem was that only half the list was copied and pasted from the Word document i was using. Amistad, An American Tail and Arachnaphobia were all missed out for Spielberg while Duffman, Dewey Largo and lunchlady doris were missed out for the Simpsons category. Same deal with Chalmers; missed out cecil, cletus and comic book guy too. these categories at least should be fixed. im gonna go check them all now

	Sheldon:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 20:40 GMT		4 points
	Right so i checked again and half of the list has been cut off again. I think it means theres a limit to the length of an answer! any ideas to get around this??

	jonnyr12:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 20:49 GMT		4 points
	Am I being annoying if I gripe about Pokemon's inclusion here? I thought this was great and would love to see more, but nobody either A)without kids, or B)over the age of 15 knows anyone but Pikachu. Call me a square or back me up, I don't care... just my two cents. Again, loved it otherwise.

	Sheldon:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 21:03 GMT		2 points
	No thats fair enough. However, there are supposed to be a whole range of categories and while the above isnt exactly the most varied, there are some hard ones up there. But thats the challenge..... As for the other problems, there is a limit of 256 characters per answer line so all the Simpsons characters are still acceptable, i have just removed several alternate options that were bordering redundant. As for the Spielberg 'A' line, The first two answers have been removed: "Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies" and "The Adventures of Tintin" because the first has a total of 116 votes on IMDb and the second has not even been made yet.

	First comment gives all extra information needed for the questions including only the original 151 Pokemon are accepted.

	tcalleen:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 01:35 GMT		2 points
	I think this is a great idea, but I think the categories that have clear defined answers work better than the fruits/vegetables category. I think there are going to be so many possible interpretations of fruits/vegetables that you'll have trouble getting all of them in. I tried cucumber and dewberry and neither of those worked. (Dewberries are a regional variation of a blackberry.)

	Sheldon:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 01:45 GMT		2 points
	Yeah i felt that way too but I just couldnt think of any other kind of category that wasnt sports, film, TV, geography or history/politics. That particular category has been through many different stages. At one point it was board games. Ive now added dewberries. Cucumber was actually already there but it was plural which is why you wouldntve have gotten it. ive changed it now to just Cucumber

	melissa:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 02:20 GMT		3 points
	Hi Sheldon - nice concept. Please change "dates" to "date" as well - right now it's only accepting the plural. And I agree with the comment that fruits/vegetables are ill-defined - but if you're going to go with it, you should be all-inclusive. Might want to check out the fruits quiz at http://www.sporcle.com/games/CrazyAmazing/fruit to round out the acceptable fruits (and add daikon as a veg).

	Sheldon:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 02:37 GMT		2 points
	thats a good idea. ill change dates to date and get more answers from thats quiz. thanks!

	Mr_Gloomy:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 02:37 GMT		7 points
	I could be wrong on this, but I believe Steven Spielberg's first directed film was called "Duel," which would work for this quiz.

	Sheldon:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 02:49 GMT		-3 points
	I just checked his IMDb page and his first movie is The Last Gun. He did direct a movie called duel in 1971 but that was for TV.......As for the Fruit/Vegetable category, does anyone have any ideas as to what could replace this? Any and all ideas welcome

	mrpotwtf69:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 03:42 GMT		4 points
	I could of sworn Montgomery Burns's first initial was C???

	Sheldon:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 03:57 GMT		2 points
	It is. And originally i had C montgomery burns acceptable as well as several other variatioins of his name but the thing is, there is a limit of 256 characters in each answer line and so i had to cut a lot out. In the 'C' category the following is accepted for Mr Burns: Charles Montgomery Burns, Charles Burns, Burns, Mr Burns, CM Burns.

	PublicEnemy:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 04:32 GMT		6 points
	hahaha 5.4% couldn't type n/a

	Sheldon:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 04:39 GMT		1 point
	And ive even made "na" acceptable too. hahah.

	Kyusil:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 06:13 GMT		21 points
	To whomever thought Pokemon's inclusion wasn't fair: how about everybody taking this quiz who doesn't like soccer or doesn't live in New Zealand? I'd say the quiz was biased in that regard, but we're coming from all walks of life and sources of knowledge here. It would be very rare if somebody knew EVERYTHING on here. That's what makes it a solid quiz-- rewards you for what you know, challenges you about what you don't quite, and stumps you on what you don't at all.

	Gjarble:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 06:25 GMT		2 points
	I like the concept, and the execution's fine, but I would include a noticeable comment near the top of the quiz saying to read the first comment before playing. This is especially important for the Pokémon category... I can imagine several quiz takers typing in "celebi" or "bidoof" and being surprised when it doesn't work (such as patsfan2225).

	jonesjeffum:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 06:45 GMT		2 points
	good quiz hope you do more, but the new zealand cities was pretty obscure eventhough i got two, auckland and dunedin

	Sheldon:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 06:52 GMT		2 points
	@gjarble: Ill try make a noticeable one. Will capitals be enough?.....@kyusil: You are 100% right. even I cant get all the answers, and i made the quiz! haha......@jonesjeffum: Yes i know New Zealand places will be hard for everyone but there are over 500 places. I know that doesnt help but still. If you guess some English names you may end up getting one or two.

	The only NZ town one that should be difficult is B, all the other letters have one of the 4 major cities.

	Sheldon:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 11:50 GMT		2 points
	What are they gonna do for the rest of the letters though? haha. apart from W of course.

	JDass:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 12:42 GMT		3 points
	Awesome quiz. Unfortunately it's probably too obscure to receive publication recognition but I hope you get it. I should really have read the comment instructions first instead of spending 3 minutes puzzling over the English Premier League team beginiing with D!

	@Sheldon: I think you are missing a couple of fruit/veg - damson and aubergine. Other than that, good going.

	Diamond Joe Quimby for D?

	JJFO:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 14:09 GMT		-3 points
	@Chromatos- I looked it up and the biggest D city is Dunedin, and it has the same population as Peoria. Gets some perspective, Auckland is hardly a bustling metropolis either

	owenjam:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 14:48 GMT		1 point
	@Sheldon, great quiz. If you were still looking for other categories (with easily definable boundaries for correct answers), English prepositions could be a solid one. Definitely something in the language/grammar category, albeit a little easy for letters other than C.
