Great quiz, you need to make it longer time, say 15 minutes, as you have to keep scrolling up and down and my computer is slow along with my 30wpm typing speed. I only got 93 in the time allocated with only about 4 wrong guesses. You should also accept the Spinners in the place of the Detroit spinners, as they lost that name about 1970.

Oh, erm, yes. Well that was a whoopsie. Must have got distracted and forgot to make it. Here you are http://www.sporcle.com/games/bazmerelda/Seventies. I doubt there will ever be a '00s version. Looking at the list we now get so many one week wonders that I don't think they'll all fit within the 200 answer limit.
