	Interesting idea, but maybe a bit too much time? I only knew two missions, but had plenty of time to type random combinations of numbers and get 100%.

	Seconding too much time. I know three crews completely, and two more with 2/3 of the crew, took 3 minutes. I think four minutes would be good, especially since the lists are divided by crew position: you're not trying to separate Jim Lovell, Commander from Jim Lovell, CM Pilot.

	Why not list all of the missions instead of just 11 of them?

	Adding to the comments on too much time. I was able to get about three of these by having two and gueesing each of the remaining for the third, then I was able to get the rest by just typing quickly all the remaining possible options. I got them all with about 45 seconds left, but it became a typing speed test instead of a knowledge test. I realize you could argue that I cheated the concept, and I wouldn't say you were wrong, but by cutting down the time, you help eliminate (or at least reduce) that potential.

	@iceman1731 - Apollo missions 6-10 were unmanned equipment tests.

	smartster:	Jul 25th, 2011 at 23:14 GMT		1 point
	@canyr and others. You've got way more patience (and speed) than I do. If you know two missions, that leaves 100 possible combinations for the third, +81 +64 +49 ...= 384. On average it would take about 200 guesses.

	@canyr, @Volante, @JKLeip - thanks for the feedback. when I submitted this quiz a few weeks ago I wasn't sure how much time would be enough, maybe a little less time would be less chance to simply guess. unfortunately now that it's been published I can't edit it any more. maybe the sporcle admins can adjust it...

	@iceman1731 - these are all the manned Apollo missions, excluding the post-moon-landing missions past Apollo 17 i.e. the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project and Skylab missions. I didn't include those since they weren't really part of the original planned missions (1-17) targeting moon-landing goal. (@canyr12 maybe your comment about Apollo 6-10 is a typo, I think you mean Apollo 2-6 were unmanned flights)

	I thought it was the right amount of time (maybe because I finished with 9 seconds left). While there was some guessing, I could usually narrow down some choices based on the knowledge I had. There wasn't enough time to guess if you had little prior knowledge, which I think is what you are looking for.

	moodyredhead:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 16:17 GMT		1 point
	Agreed about the time -- when I realized I didn't know any of the answers I decided to see if I could just enter all the possibilities in time. Did and had 2:48 left over. Great concept, though.

	moodyredhead:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 16:28 GMT		1 point
	I should add, for the record, I did know Armstrong/Aldrin/Collins. I haven't been living completely under a rock.
