	How I missed Brazil, I don't know?

	Brilliant! Like Guinness.

	Love these - and good range of topics! Must learn to resist the temptation of jumping from category to category, though -- switching gears does a number on the brain efficiency.

	I like the idea of doing letter quizzes, but for my life I never do well on them. Victims for me included Brazil (like somebody already), and by extension Brasilia. As a Bears fan, I know the Bears are about the most important thing in the world...but more people guessed the Bears and the element Boron than G-dubs???

	brock:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 08:54 GMT	18 points
	In today's society, I'm shocked that Boron was the most correctly guessed (as of 12:53am). Well done world!

	Man, I was ALL over the map on this one. Missed several of the ones with the highest percentage, but also got several of the ones with the lowest.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 09:08 GMT	11 points
	@ Arlen - G-dubs is a bad memory that most of us are trying to repress. Good quiz.

	Elmo:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 09:11 GMT	5 points
	I simply cannot believe how many easy ones I missed... Brazil, Blair, Benedict, Barcelona, and all three composers. :(

	XYlophonetreeZ:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 09:14 GMT	13 points
	No wonder Stanley "Baldwn" is least frequently guessed.

	Keep the alphabet coming. The Latin alphabet, I mean, not the Cyrillic one.

	I was thinking Bartok instead of Brahms (pretty stupid I know), and then I thought Bartok sounded like a Klingon word, so I started laughing, and boom! my time was up. It is way too late for this. Great quiz though.

	Blackburn Rovers 6.9%?? 1 of 4 teams to have ever won the Premier League...

	micah:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 10:29 GMT	6 points
	...I remembered Boniface but forgot Benedict. I feel silly.

	MetaphysicalMan:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 10:35 GMT	24 points
	Can't believe there was never a pope named 'Bob'...

	Shouldn't Andrew Bonar Law be another UK Prime Minister beginning with 'B'? @TheArbiter: Rhys is right in saying only 4 teams have won the Premier League since its launch in 1992. Manchester United, Blackburn, Arsenal and Chelsea. Hopefully we'll see a new name on the trophy this season though!

	GarethJL:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 13:19 GMT	7 points
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Bonar_Law Only about a year in office, but still Prime Minister.

	Oh my, I somehow blanked on US presidents. Ironically the Google ads say "George Bush's IQ is 115", so I feel pretty stupid. Fool me once...

	jamesjamesclub:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 13:55 GMT	6 points
	I like these because you see how good people's general is, not their specialist knowledge. Take for instance the leaders of the UK Conservative Party Quiz - there 28.1% answered Stanley Baldwin correctly. Here its 3.5%

	Zalx:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 14:11 GMT	7 points
	Awesome quiz. I got quite confused on the Classical Music one though. I tried baroque, then breve, before working it out. And (not that I would have got more than about two of them anyway) I didn't realise that the nicknames would be acceptable for the NFL teams. Maybe a disclaimer to that effect for us Brits?

	Lil:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 14:46 GMT	8 points
	by the hammer of thor! i share a last name with one of the british prime ministers and didn't get it. argh!

	shel99:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 14:59 GMT	8 points
	I should not be doing these quizzes so early in the morning. I LIVE in Boston and I forgot it. Doh! (in my defense, I was ignoring the rest of the categories in my determination to get every country on the list. Which one did I forget? BRAZIL....)

	Vernon Gonsalves:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 15:31 GMT	15 points
	Forgot Barcelona. Duh! That's recent Olympics. And with the countries, I missed Belarus (excusable) but BELGIUM and BRAZIL? And yet, I got all the Burundis, Bhutans and Burkina Fasos. Weird. That's Sporcle for yuh. When trying to figure out which one fit there alphabetically (it was Bangladesh) I was saying "Bah... bah... bah..." (trying to jog my memory) I ended up with "Bah bah bah Barbara Ann... please take my hand"

	On the classical music, I got this feeling in my head that one would be a trick (like the three 'r's of education being reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic). So I kept trying Chopin, Puccini, Handel and so on, and I forgot Brahms. Just wondering - should 'van Buren' technically count?

	fatman:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 16:16 GMT	3 points
	For someone who came name all countries of the world and most capitals I feel so stupid that I forgot Beijing, Brunei, Belize and Bosnia and Herzegovina

	Ribhump:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 16:23 GMT	6 points
	i love that more people got berkelium that Bradford City, i bet pre-sporcle 99% of people would draw absolute blank when even told outright it's an element. I wish there was sporcle when i was at school.

	pbrown:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 16:28 GMT	4 points
	How did I forget the only president who came from my home state? Regardless, great quiz!

	Oh man, what the hell?! I got Brasilia, but not Brazil lol. I'm gonna go now...

	R:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 16:43 GMT	3 points
	@Evan: Gordon Brown is the current Prime Minister of the UK and thus more important than Bush who is retired by now. Shame on you for not knowing. I think Bonifatius (the latin version of Boniface) should be included for the non-English natives here. Also, van Buuren might be a bonus answer since in Dutch, where his name comes from, prepositions like 'van' are not included in the alphabetizing. For the rest, great quiz.
