Very nice quiz. I must admit that the clue "Disney/Pixar Animated Movies" was a bit misleading to me. I was trying to think of only Pixar movies. How about "Disney or Pixar Animated Movies" instead?

The 49ers should at least be a bonus answer since that is how it is usually written. And wouldn't Henry be another Shakespeare title character?

: The instructions say to ignore numbers, and there is more than one "Henry" title character, so I decided that they needed their numeral to differentiate them. I also decided that Titus also needed "Andronicus". Let me know if you think any of these points are too arbitrary - I've made lots of changes based on feedback before.

I think you need to include bonus answers, at least, to explain the missing 49ers, Henry and Titus. That way those of us who guess them can at least understand why they don't count, rather than thinking you've missed something, know what I mean? Nice quiz, otherwise, though I'm not a fan of Crayola as a category, generally. :)

@gnatural Well, you can blame me. I made Crayola colors a category in a bunch of my published quizzes, so now it has kinda become a standard thing.

I have to ask. Didn't Colin Firth win in the 2010's, not the 2000's? And Mad-Eye Moody never really was a DADA teacher, was he? Feel free to neg-rep me to oblivion if I'm wrong about both.

Quick work updating to include Colin Firth, well done. @JimH it says 2000's which doesn't necessarily refer to the decade, but 2000's as a century. It would probably be better if they rephrased it as '21st Century Best actor/actresses' to avoid confusion.

Misread that as Oscar winners of 2000 and only got Crowe. In retrospect, it would've been an amazing coincidence that all acting winners in 2000 had 5-letter names (or indeed a freak occurrence that there'd be more than 4 winners in a given year!).

I guess I interpreted 2000's as meaning the decade of 2000-2009 ... like the 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, 2010's, etc. Should've tried Firth though. Anyway, really fun quiz! (Embarrassed by some of my misses, though ... haha.)

"21st century" means 2001-2100, which eliminates Crowe (he got the award in '01, but the performance was in '00). "2000s" usually means 2000-2009, which eliminates Firth. It can also mean 2000-2099, but that's not really the first definition that comes to mind. The most accurate title would be "2000-present".

I kinda think the description is fine how it is. '2000s' means the same thing to me as '1900s'. Both Crowe and Firth won for the 2000s as both Alec Guiness and Roberto Benigni won for the 1900s. The '00s, which I still think we should call 'the aughties', would be that thing we just went through.

: When did you buy your Crayolas - 1968? (That's when I got my mine.) I was surprised by that, too, as well as ocher, umber, and flesh. Lots of colours have been replaced by new "more exciting" colours such as Laser Lemon, Jazzberry Jam and Razzmatazz.

You might think the names of those Crayola colors are silly. But go to a Benjamin Moore or a Home Depot and look at the names of all of the shades. My daughter's room is painted Wishes. What's the color of a wish?

Firth isn't in the 2000's for Oscar winners. He was the first of the '10s.

It would be awesome if a quiz could reference the 2000s or 2010s or 1990s or whatever without some commenters feeling the need to get into a "when did the century/decade/millenium really start" debate. Seriously, people, we've all been made aware of this "issue" at some point in the last 11 years, and it just makes you look like a wannabe know-it-all.

well, ponyo isn't a disney movie. it was made by miyasaki and released later by disney. not the same. as far as the countries go, i don't see why the congo shouldn't be included. you shouldn't forget that all the of the countries listed have much longer official names, even if they are known colloquially as 5 letter names.

@floydpink...except that debate is not really going on here. It's just a misunderstanding about whether 2000's as used in this quiz refers to a decade or a century. Nobody's arguing about when the century started in this thread.

Nice quiz...I tried 'Wives' as in Merry Wives of Windsor...oh, well. Also, not to split hairs, but Moody while teaching defense against the dark arts was actually Barty Crouch Jr. using polyjuice potion.

"Do not count spaces, numbers or punctuation." Then why does "Henry" not count? Obviously, 49ers would count if we included numbers. I think that you ought to make clear whether or not Roman numerals are included under "numbers".

^ and why DO the numbers 1-100 count? :) Really liked this. But what's 'For Group Names, ignore "The"' about?
