	Great quiz. Very thought provoking as you've got to come up with a strategy to do it.

	zutluvip:	Jul 10th, 2011 at 14:49 GMT		0 points
	Don't try to do this one in reverse!

	hlofa15:	Aug 17th, 2011 at 16:01 GMT		0 points
	A quiz like this would be interesting without naming any of the other nominees for the year instead.

	@Dru: The quiz assumes you already know the Oscar winners and the trick is getting them into the correct years. So why not tease the players by displaying the list of actual winners? If you want, you can copy & paste this code to the embed a wordcloud which contains all the Best Picture winners from 1945-2010: <a href="http://s892.photobucket.com/albums/ac124/rockgolf/?action=view&current=Oscarpictures.jpg" target="_blank"> <img src="http://i892.photobucket.com/albums/ac124/rockgolf/Oscarpictures.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">

	^That's teamwork right there.^ Thank you again. This quiz is now an official Rockgolf-approved Wordcloud Minefield.

	I'll be interested to see if the already very good ratings go up or down. You may want to reduce the size of the cloud, which you can do by adding width="650" as a parameter inside the Embed code between border="0" and alt="Photobucket".

	How does the Wordcloud determine the size of the words? From what I can tell it's not by wins

	rockgolf:	Aug 22nd, 2011 at 02:24 GMT		2 points
	@hlofa15: Kind of obvious once you've been told, but it's inversely proportional to the length of the title. Smaller titles, bigger fonts. It's a way to give each title about the same area.

	@hlofa15 - When I made a Word cloud, the word size depended on the number of times each word appeared in your answers. Take a look at my Beatles Songs - Word Cloud, for an example. I you want to make a word larger, you just have to type it more than once. At least that's how it was the last time I made one.

	@rockgolf: Thanks. I just wasn't sure if this was like other Wordclouds where it was based on nominations.

	rockgolf:	Aug 22nd, 2011 at 14:07 GMT		1 point
	Zutluvip is right! If you try to do this in reverse, you'll enter The Godfather Part 2 before The Godfather, which sets off a mine when you enter the first two words.

	druhutch:	Aug 22nd, 2011 at 23:36 GMT		1 point
	Actually I think I made it so that wouldn't happen. (I didn't want to make "The Godfather" a mine if you were trying to type in "The Godfather Part 2")

	Fergenaprido:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 22:57 GMT		1 point
	Please clarify in the instructions what you mean by year, the year the film was released, or the year that it won the Oscar, because they are not the same thing.

	druhutch:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 20:31 GMT		1 point
	I guess I always thought it was universally understood that the year means the year the film won the Oscar for (like Schindler's list was the best picture of 1993) and not when the actual ceremony was held. That seems to be how every website, including the Academy's, lists the winners. But that is a sound technical point, and I've added to the game note.
