I thought it was the easiest one, seeing how I could guess many all over the place from first names alone, typing them in without even looking at last names. I was doing so well. Then the red "00:10" blinked at the top... whatever, much fun, much thankyou, much faved.

Had a hiccup when I got to the Athletes and then just fell apart with the Painters. Didn't make it very far through the Leaders, which I also didn't work out at all. Still, very good quiz

The minute I saw the word "Bastian", I thought to myself, "Oh hell, I'm going to mess this last name up."

I was hoping for a Simpsons characters category. Wait a minute! Bart's teacher's name is Krappabel? I've been calling her Krandall. Why didn't someone tell me? I've been making an idiot of myself!

I would have needed more time. I reached the second last category (leaders). It's a challenging quiz, also to remember all the names.

So glad this was a matching and not a fill in the blank. Between having no idea on some and not being able to spell others, I would've done quite poorly! I enjoyed this. :)

The way I finished in time was that I noticed that when I had most of the matches in a category, I could see what the word on the right was going to be, so I just typed it in without finishing the matches, and that worked. I wanted to see if I had time to go back and do the 3-4 matches I had skipped, but the quiz ended.

@Airman: I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga or Jay-Z, but yes, they do make music. Just because their music is not highbrow doesn't mean it's not music in its own right.

I'd have to agree on the time thing. I did it the first time and got all but the last category before time ran out (even though there was only 2 at the most that I didn't know off the top of my head in each category...process of elimination made those pretty easy though). I did it a second time through just to see how the time would work out and managed to finish the whole thing...but with only 13 seconds to spare. Since I had gotten 80% of them right the first time, you'd think I'd have a bigger cushion than that the second time through.

Not enough time. Some of us just can't type that fast. My hands are shot and Sporcle penalises me for it.

'Schweinsteiger' literally means 'pig climber' in German. So there you go, uninteresting but true.

Whether you like her music or not, Lady Gaga most certainly is a musician. She's a fantastic pianist.

I'll chime in with the people asking for more time. I enjoyed the quiz, but I would have enjoyed finishing it as well... I type farely fast and I didn't make all that many guesses but I was still missing one category.

What kind of a quiz is this? The instructions are nonexistent; no idea what to do.

Seriously, you had to go with Bastian Schweinsteiger? You couldn't go with Wayne Rooney or Lionel Messi or something I won't misspell 3 times?
