	This is a solid idea for a quiz. I'd love to see all the ones with the same last name eliminated. Roberts/Sutherland/Douglas. You can include others like Coleen Dewhurst/Campbell Scott, and many of the others. With only 20 of these, I'd say 10 minutes is plenty, because people will know their celebrities or they won't. You could make the example actually appear in the grid as the 21st one, so people know what to input.

	It's Tippi Hedren, not Hedrin.

	I went back and forth on using same last name ones. In the end, I decided to include a few because they aren't always obvious and having them in there can help get your thinking on right. I've done just about all of the other match-four quizzes out there now and even when they seem obvious after the fact, the format can really mess with your head. That's why I also kept the time longer. Most of these I ended up close to the time limit or finding I could have used more time. I might add the Spelling's in as an example although it's gonna be a bear to mess with that data input sheet!

	Good quiz I enjoyed it but Randall is right it is spelled Hedren.

	amybang:	Aug 5th, 2010 at 19:34 GMT	1 point
	@RandallPinkston - Thanks! I fixed it.

	I agree with sproutcm. Great idea, but I would also like to see the last name duplications eliminated. You could replace Michael Douglas with Catherine Zeta-Jones (father-in-law, daughter-in-law). You could even replace Donald Sutherland with Tommy Douglas. Kiefer's grandfather was voted the Greatest Canadian Ever in a recent poll. As premier of Saskatchewan, he introduced socialized medicine to Canada. (Yeah, probably way too obscure for most Americans.) How about Sean Astin/Patti Duke (parent/child) to replace one of the others? Or Olivia DeHavilland and Joan Fontaine (sisters)? 5 Orcles and nominated.

	One other suggestion: The displayed versions of the answers are so long, they roll off the page. How about dropping the last names to save space? E.g: "Ann & Abigail (Sisters) / Ann Landers Abigail Van Buren"

	I also found that at least some of the pairs are only accepted if they're entered in the "right" order, which is a bit of a nuisance even when you know you have the correct pairing and it's just a matter of reentering the names in the opposite order. For people who are not certain, it could be misleading.

	i enjoyed it same last names are fine with me

	amybang:	Aug 6th, 2010 at 11:17 GMT	1 point
	@rockgolf - I like Duke/Astin, I might update with that pair, but only after I figure out a replacement for the other same-last-name so I only have to go through the logistical nightmare of updating this once (I'll keep the Sutherlands as the example). Shortening the answers would take a bit of work, so it should be one fell swoop. I don't want to use Douglas/Zeta-Jones because they have no blood relation. And I want to keep at least on of the two in the pair relatively recent, which doesn't work for DeHavilland/Fontaine.

	@sporclover - All of the Foursomes/Match 4 quizzes I have done require all answers to be entered in exactly the order of the columns.

	Nice quiz! I would cut the time just a bit, though. Maybe seven minutes isntead of ten?

	katesutton:	Aug 7th, 2010 at 00:36 GMT	1 point
	If you want recent different last name suggestions, there's Tom Cruise & William Mapother (cousins), Susan Sarandon & Eva Amurri (mother/daughter), and Demi Moore & Rumer Willis (mother/daughter).

	Loved it! Finished in 5 min. (I know my celebs!)

	eyeluvtrivia:	Aug 7th, 2010 at 19:07 GMT	1 point
	i also love how you explained each one (I didn't know Martha Plimpton & David Carradine were related!)

	amybang:	Aug 9th, 2010 at 19:43 GMT	1 point
	I have switched out the sets of relatives with the same last names (save for the Sutherlands, which are the example). I also removed the first names from the shown answers so that the quiz doesn't grow too large as the answers are revealed. I may shorten the time more. Or not.
