	Awesome quiz. I really like how you have people who have historical significance to our country and not just today's celebrities!! My only suggestion is to please add another minute or two. That was a challenge within that time limit.

	I like the concept a lot, but I agree that four minutes isn't enough time. I think six might be about right.

	Saying that Santa Anna and Timothy McVeigh are important figures in the histories of Texas and Oklahoma is like saying that Napoleon and Hitler are important figures in the histories of Poland and Russia. (Yeah, another minute please.)

	The Person's Significance column is difficult to read. Lighten the background and/or darken the text.

	@HuskerTan@FretfulP: 6 minutes now. @chriskotx: True, but Napoleon and Hitler did have major influences on Poland and Russia. What's important is that they are only associated with one state.
