	This was excellent! Challenging but not too hard. North Korea and Solomon Islands were difficult...

	I've forgotten more of my history lessons than I've remembered :)

	Surprised that the Battle of the Kool Moe Dee Concert wasn't in here.

	I loved this quiz. Once I figured out it was location not combatants that were asked for, it was great.

	I'm surprised more people didn't get Zama. It marks the end of the Punic wars between Carthage and Rome. The date should give you that if nothing else.

	no - they're not. Try telling that to the people of Northern Ireland.

	While Great Britain is not the same thing as the UK, England imho should be allowable for the Battle of Hastings.

	i want to know what the 17% who didn't get siege of vienna were thinking.

	ClamBuckets:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 19:58 GMT		9 points
	@Tommy_C I'd be surprised if a fifth of the people I know have even heard of Carthage, let alone the details needed to answer that one.

	Orcs are actually involved in this as it was the insulting name given by the Saxons to the Normans.

	On the right side, got all of them EXCEPT Siege of Sarajevo. I really need to learn how to spell Herzegovina correctly.

	patferg74:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 21:07 GMT		11 points
	Really....I used the "&" sign for Bosnia AND Herzegovina and you didn't give it to me??

	Siege of Constantinople was in 1453, not 1543.

	ChileNoseJam:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 21:27 GMT		7 points
	Excellent quiz, just the right range of some fairly easy questions to some extremely difficult. I ended up blitzing every country in Oceania to get Guadalcanal.

	dknox5:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 21:33 GMT		-3 points
	i typed in solomons and bosnia and didn't get them. oh well.

	carbon_rod:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 22:01 GMT		2 points
	@bodoo - I told him that back in July (in the archived comments), and he still hasn't fixed it.

	I honestly thought that Guadelcanal was somewhere around the Meditteranean. You always learn something valuable after a long day of sporcling! I feel that 24/32 is a decent overall performance, though.

	They still don't have Constantinople right...now it says 1443, but it's 1453!

	Whitty:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 23:18 GMT		3 points
	Surprised more folks didn't get Sarajevo or Tora Bora. Those who forget history.... Really nice quiz- good mix of eras, and just enough time to make it a fair challenge. I scored 29/32...

	roxanapeace:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 23:48 GMT		7 points
	@Whitty I was 10 when the siege of Sarajevo started, and I kept typing in Bosnia, sure that I was correct, but alas, I did not recall the Herzegovina part. It sounds familiar to me, now, but I still never would have remembered that. I also kept typing Panama for Guadalcanal. "It's got canal in it, right there!"

	I appreciate history being FUN!

	Thanks to Battlefield 1942 for Guadalcanal and El Alamein.

	i always type soloman instead of solomon. damn

	Caesar:	Feb 1st, 2011 at 14:22 GMT		2 points
	Having watched the Pacific on DVD last week got me Guadalcanal, had never heard of it before then, being British I don't tend to hear that much about "the forgotten war" after VE Day
