	That is approximately as necessary as specifying that France is a European country.

	Ah the third and last Indiana Jones. Definitely my favorite of the three movies. Yep. Only three. Certainly wasn't a fourth one. Just three. Ended on a good note, that trilogy did with absolutely no aliens or Shia LeBeouf whatsoever.

	It took me half a minute to understand why "treaty" wasn't working for the first question.

	Florida seceded from the Union on January 10, 1861. Only South Carolina seceded in 1860.

	I like the quiz. One question: why is Amazon listed ahead of Nile when the others all seem to be in the correct order? Not that it matters as far as the answer goes since Yangtze is the third anyway, but just for accuracy's sake, the Nile is generally considered the longest.

	@ronnymexico: There is debate as to which river is actually the longest. Traditionally, yes, the Nile has been cited as the longest river. More recent evidence suggests the Amazon might be slightly longer based on a certain course of the river. For the purposes of this quiz, though, the Nile should probably be listed first.

	Got a bit confused with the World Cup one - I thought it was asking for the third different country to win it, and when West Germany wasn't accepted I realised it was wanting to know who won the third tournament. D'oh me.

	Upon my completion of this quiz, 4.2% had answered correctly "Life, the Universe, and Everything" I guess it's true.

	I second the correction about Florida. Only one state seceded in 1860. Perhaps it could read "State to join the Confederacy" instead?

	Second samivel - that misled me too, although to be fair if you know the subject it doesn't exactly take long to work it out. And @laura_ - you will most likely find that a very high proportion of those who don't know Henry VIII's wives are in fact not British, and therefore not the history they would be taught. Interesting that about 1 in 5 people knew his third wife and 4 in 5 knew the third US president (which I didn't). Probably pretty close to reflecting the US/Brits divide here.

	Not that it really matters, but it should be "Sorcer_e_r's Stone".

	Navarro2814:	Sep 28th, 2010 at 11:05 GMT		0 points
	Yes SorcerEr's stone is spelled incorrectly

	tigerschick:	Sep 28th, 2010 at 12:27 GMT		6 points
	dbcint - It's always just referred to as The World Cup as it is by far and away the biggest of the world cups (I think it's the second biggest sporting event in the World, after the Olympics, tho I'm happy to be corrected on this) in the same way that, in golf, The Open is always referred to as just "The Open" without needing to say that it's in Britain, people just know. And I say all this as a rugby fan who cares not one bit about The World Cup :o) .............. Mayan and Navarro2814: It should be "Philosopher's Stone" anyway ;o)

	I'm impressed that nearly 80% of people can name the third President of the US! Not sure how many of us Brits could name our third monarch following unification or our third Prime Minister.

	@Mayan, indeed Sorcerer's is spelled incorrectly...it should read "Philosopher's", as the rest of the world knows it ;)

	@Jim_alpha I'm sure they were asking for fourths, the number wouldn't be so high. If we didn't learn Washington-Adams-Jefferson in school, we at least know that Jefferson was an early president and he was super important in the Revolution. So it's not too hard to guess.
