	What do people think of this quiz? Is it too difficult without hints about the actual characters? Does the way it is set up make sense? Give me feedback if it needs to be improved!

	I was still able to get 7 without hints..... only missed Arctururs and Merope..... I think it's ok the way it is.

	Thanks for the input. I think most people will know to name the Black family. My main concern is that nobody will get Merope (I had no idea it was a star until I read it on the source site!)
