	The Great Wall thing isn't true. Also, it should be "Great Scot" not "Great Scott," as in someone from Scotland, not someone named Scott.

	Thanks for the correction on the "Great Scot" answer. But if you google "great wall of china" AND "visible from space" you will find several references showing that it is the only manmade object on Earth that visible from space.

	Why is Darius not listed as Great?

	Nice idea, but there are a few additional problems. Great Britain is not a nation, it is an island that is a part of the UK. The Ali's nickname clue should appear before the compilation of best selling songs clue. Powersimm is correct about the Great Wall, and midlifecrisis also makes a good point - and since there are 3 possibilites I peersonally would have all 3 as the displayed answer. As a Canadian I was also a little disappointed to not see 'the great one', Wayne Gretzky. Sorry to sound so negative, There is definitely potential for a great quiz here.

	@midlifecrisis -- darius, cyrus, and karim khan will all work. I just don't know how to have the results page show all three possibilities @betraisefold -- Thanks. I corrected the clue for Great Britain and put Ali before the song compilation clue. But I find several reputable references for the Great Wall of China so I'm not sure why you agree with Powersimm. Do you have a reference? Or an explanation?

	@betraisefold -- I added Gretzky but since so many people have already taken the quiz, the percentage correctly identifying him looks ridiculously low. But I expect as more people take the quiz it will grow significantly.

	Maybe a little more variety. Great Balls of Fire or something. A little heavy on the rulers. Also, The Great Outdoors is a movie. That might help the clue. And you need to fix "Islands of coast..."

	Will fix "of coast" and sorry I missed Great Balls of Fire. Will add that.

	@danmont: Make your answer line read: Darius, Cyrus and Karim Khan/Darius/Cyrus/Karim Khan ... plus any other alternates you may have. I researched the Great Wall seen from space myth quite a bit while working on my Common Misconceptions quiz (yes, that's a plug, vote it down if you must), it turns out that it is very difficult to see from low-earth orbit and many more manmade objects are much more easily seen.
