	This could very well be the hardest, most obscure Sporcle quiz in existence thus far.

	Brian:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 00:51 GMT	45 points
	i don't understand, do you have to be old to know these?

	aerodynamic:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 00:58 GMT	24 points
	I might just have to agree with danc1005. Got 0, and only waited 35 seconds. I don't think I've ever heard of bingo calls before. It seems almost pointless to have all these nicknames, but they almost all rhyme with the numbers, so I guess it's just for fun.

	chrispaz:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 00:59 GMT	4 points
	It's strange how 45 is called "Halfway There" when there are only 75 numbers. And I thought "Jacks Alive" was supposed to be 5 not 4. Do all the answers come from US bingo, or do some come from UK bingo?

	westley:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 01:19 GMT	20 points
	Never heard any of these before either. Got 0.

	cocky:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 01:20 GMT	53 points
	Tried typing in B-1 a few times and gave up.

	kevin:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 01:43 GMT	23 points
	I have a feeling the majority of sporcle's guests are under the age of 75 so we have no idea what these are.

	Brunswick23Beast:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 01:43 GMT	16 points
	Wow. A rare Sporcle failure. I volunteered for years at a church-hall that ran Bingo's and never once did I ever hear any of these.

	Robert_Lo:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 01:54 GMT	12 points
	I love this quiz. I got a score of 0, but I still thought the concept is interesting. Don't know what people are bitching about. Just because you can't answer any of it doesn't mean it's a bad quiz. You don't see me complaining every time a quiz about a TV show I never watched before popped up.

	MarqueTowste:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 02:07 GMT	3 points
	got zero... but im pretty sure ive heard of some of these before!! maybe on a tv show or something.. i cant remember which one, but i know i have heard of them somewhere.

	Kicking222:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 02:22 GMT	31 points
	I agree with everyone that this is a ridiculous quiz, but I agree with Robert Lo that this doesn't make it a bad quiz. A bad quiz is one with ill-defined parameters; this is just one that only a small group of people will know. And what's wrong with that? Most people don't listen to Barenaked Ladies, but I still enjoyed the "name all of the BNL albums" quiz. In the same regard, if some people enjoy this one, then it's a success.

	It's the internet. You're not paying for these quizzes. Chill out.

	Statto:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 02:45 GMT	4 points
	These seem to be an odd mixture. I'm sure 22 in Britain is usually Two Little Ducks and the numbers go up to at least 88 as that's "Two Fat Ladies." But the Brighton Line, Danny La Rue & Old Age Pension are very British references. I'm sure 10 is usually _______'s Den depending on who's Prime Minister at the time (e.g. Maggie's in the 80s).

	radiosilence:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 02:47 GMT	0 points
	I just started typing in random phrases. I managed 8/75, but only because I stumbled upon multiples of 12 that had derivations of the same name.

	Klingsta:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 02:47 GMT	-1 points
	dumb quiz. got 0. but I love sporcle.

	canuckliz:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 02:51 GMT	3 points
	This actually seems to be a mixture of US and UK calls, with the bonus answers being UK calls for sure. 45 is "halfway there" because the UK card has 90 as its top number (and no letters across the top). My personal favourite UK call - "two fat ladies" - doesn't seem to have made it into the bonus ranks, though.

	Swing and a miss! Ah well, not all quizzes can be for even a portion of the population, and this is one of those "For 1 in a million" quizzes.

	John Haley:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 03:29 GMT	1 point
	What about Ooooooooooooooooo, Clickity Click , SIXTY - SIX!!

	RKHMD:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 03:29 GMT	9 points
	I didn't even know that bingo call numbers had "nicknames."

	While we're at it how about all obscure nicknames for food items in new jersey, new york, boston and probably some other major cities. Come to think of it that might be easier than this quiz.

	Paul:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 04:10 GMT	3 points
	Some do seem a bit obscure, especially as there's no 'legs eleven'. Also, just to add, I think there's a mistake on number four as 'Jack's Alive' is for number five isn't it?

	Ben:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 04:21 GMT	5 points
	Wow... I knew that this quiz would be hard... and I made it due to a request... and yes Liz.. it has 90 #'s and 76-90 are bonus answers... sorry for those that hate this quiz...

	Haman Karn:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 04:49 GMT	5 points
	@Ben: It's rather confounding, since the majority of the people here probably don't even know about these calls. It's not bad, just more esoteric than most people are familiar with.

	ElDavo:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 04:54 GMT	5 points
	Wow... I don't really know what to say. I've never heard of any of these before.

	guyleguy:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 04:57 GMT	-1 points
	I'm going to submit a quiz about my personal nicknames for different athletes; I bet the results will be eerily similar to this quiz.

	@Ben, you say: "and yes Liz.. it has 90 #'s and 76-90 are bonus answers..." but I have never ever heard 88 called anything but "two fat ladies" and you are not giving that as a bonus answer :)

	drza:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 06:14 GMT	4 points
	My grandmother is 87 and has played bingo for 88 years and she has never heard any of these....she also just called me Mr President and tried to order extra cheese from her hair dresser but thats besides the point. Definitely the most obscure quiz I've seen on here

	Tom:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 06:36 GMT	6 points
	Archaic but interesting. Got a whopping zero.

	sammyhain2364:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 06:47 GMT	0 points
	Here's one for the recycle bin. There's a big difference between what is trivial or knowledgable and what is pure minituae.

	tobinw:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 08:00 GMT	3 points
	I got absolutely zero, but don't be discouraged sporcle admins. This site is amazing and you're bound to have a dud like this once in a while! :)

	I used to set up bingo games and I never once heard most of these. Blackout wasn't even there and that is the most common.

	jesus:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 13:25 GMT	-3 points
	I know in England number 80 is Gandhi's breakfast. This is because 8(ate) and 0(nothing) i.e Gandhi ate nothing.

	Tim99:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 19:52 GMT	1 point
	I got nuthin'. Maybe too obscure for the general populace. Although a fun and related quiz may be the nicknames for dice rolls in craps. Snake Eyes, Box Cars, Ace-deuce, etc.

	Beks:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 21:59 GMT	-1 points
	Well, I personally thought it was quite a good idea for a quiz. The one criticism I would have to make though, is that this mixes American and British calls - although I admit I've forgotten a lot of the British ones too, it's been a while since I've played (at school and for charity, I hasten to add - I'm far too young to be a bingo fiend!)

	Bethannie:	Dec 8th, 2008 at 23:03 GMT	1 point
	I gave up on this one - I seem to know a completely different set of names!

	noconapete:	Dec 9th, 2008 at 02:32 GMT	-4 points
	wow this one is stupiddd (notice 3 d's) out 1-10 rating its a ummmmm -10
