	Sporcle, you never cease to amaze me with the creativity you have in coming up with random-trivia quizzes.

	Milk_and_Cheese:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:21 GMT	20 points
	Much more challenging than I expected. It's amazing how trained our brains are to seek (forward) alphabetical order.

	The game so nice I played it twice!

	JohnJF:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:21 GMT	1 point
	An extremely random and somewhat uneven quiz...but isn't that what Sporcle is all about?

	Giants2082:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:27 GMT	10 points
	awesome quiz, kinda threw me off with the Dickens book because I counted the first part of the title as the letter it started with and thought "that couldn't possibly be alphabetically last"

	Helps that I was listening to Sharp Dressed Man!

	doesnt a tale of two cities start with an A?

	NoVan:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:42 GMT	9 points
	Man, Wyoming can't get a break.

	spum66:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:42 GMT	20 points
	Tried "Torino", no dice. Heck, every banner I saw had it with the Italian spelling.

	bored123:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:46 GMT	43 points
	Does Vancouver not count until the next Winter Games?

	Platypus222:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:50 GMT	-1 points
	Great quiz, but with the NFL team, it should be made clear that you're not including the location name, because then the Washington Redskins would will (and several would be before Minnesota).

	caligal14:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:50 GMT	7 points
	Holy heck that was tough! I couldn't think of a lot of them forwards, let alone trying to list them all backwards. And matchoo, technically yes but you don't count the 'A' or 'The' in a title of something because so many books begin with those words it would be hard to catalogue them using those first. If that makes sense... :-/

	madden video games helped me get vikings.

	Great quiz, would have been easier if the answers were in alphabetical order too!

	cmkeller:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:59 GMT	14 points
	Vancouver should have at least been a bonus on the Olympic host question

	cottb128:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 08:59 GMT	1 point
	Let's just say that whether or not Zimbabwe City is the last world capital is a matter of opinion.

	Wes_Mantooth:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:08 GMT	-2 points
	A Tale of Two Cities is very misleading

	Matt91486:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:08 GMT	29 points
	Wolves should be accepted for Wolverhampton.

	IHateRegistering:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:12 GMT	24 points
	There should have one hard entry where most of the items all begin A and B and the answer ends up starting with C or something.

	This was definitely good for the neurons...let's hear it for using trivia to stave off dementia!

	Loona:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:18 GMT	7 points
	Wow, I actually thought of Turin but didn't type it because I figured there had to be another city lower than that. Goes to show, never underestimate the answers ;)

	NightOwl:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:19 GMT	11 points
	More challenging than I expected --I love it when Sporcle forces us to use different patterns of thinking.

	Chumley:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:20 GMT	18 points
	Damn you Zirconium. I thought I had it with Yttrium.

	pinkrubberduckie:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:24 GMT	8 points
	Great quiz! Hopefully there will be a sequel!

	root45:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:28 GMT	6 points
	@chumley, zinc comes between Yttrium and Zirconium. I couldn't get past there. I also agree that Vancouver should be listed as the last Olympic city. It won the bid, which means it's technically an Olympic City. Alternatively, the clue could be "City to Host the Olympic Games".

	Slugma:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:29 GMT	3 points
	21, so close! Also, with the Premier League seemingly on Sporcle's mind, maybe we'll finally get an update for its quiz, haha.

	livfred:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:31 GMT	8 points
	Vancouver shouldn't be counted as an Olympic host city until it has hosted the Olympic games. According to the ugly official Olympic countdown clock, we're still 164 days and counting...

	jaspa:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:48 GMT	4 points
	For so many of these I thought, "There's no way I'll be able to think of EVERY _____, let alone which one comes last!" But then I'd think of Zeus and slap myself in the forehead.

	raisingfear101:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 09:48 GMT	2 points
	I got 14, and somehow pulled Zirconium out of my ass. I haven't taken chemistry in 4 years.

	Yea but I live on the exact opposite corner of the country and have very little knowledge of New York due to it being thousands of miles away. Not to mention everyone else who lives a great distance from New York.

	raisingfear101:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 10:38 GMT	10 points
	@rose: I live literally one minute from the bronx, and I know people who can't name all the boroughs.

	MetaphysicalMan:	Sep 1st, 2009 at 11:05 GMT	4 points
	Really had to fight my brain to think of the months in any order other than the calendar order.

	too bad Vancouver doesn't count, yet!

	I almost missed zirconium because I was thinking-- nah, you're thinking of cubic zirconium, the fake diamond sh*t.

	@raisingfear101: Don't go putting zirconium up your ass. It's a skin irritant so Christ knows what it'll do to your rectum.
