	Love it! With the numbers removed and just the years given, it becomes a very intense quiz. You have to skip the ones you're not sure about.

	A_Trep:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 04:37 GMT	7 points
	Tough!!! Excellent!!!

	deugea:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 04:39 GMT	13 points
	Whew! Third time's a charm! I love the quiz! You're right, idledandy, it's much tougher with only the years given. I always get mixed up with the exact order of the Gilded Age presidents (1877-1901). This quiz forced me to figure it out. Awesome!

	Tough quiz. I agree that with the numbers removed and just the dates it becomes immensely harder. Nice job.

	hlofa15:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 04:50 GMT	53 points
	Great quiz . Harder than I thought it would be. Geez, it's like the 1800s lasted for like a hundred years!

	RetroGirl:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 05:02 GMT	-1 points
	Love president quizzes! Finished with 9:28 left. I can name them all in order, but sometimes I'm fuzzy on exact years, so this is great practice! Thanks :)

	European11:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 05:23 GMT	7 points
	the mixed order adds to the challenge.

	steph27:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 05:35 GMT	2 points
	it's been 3 years since i took u.s. history so i was really rusty. thanks for a nice challenge!

	Oh wow, this was so tricky. Once I got to my final four (the four most obscure presidents from 1840 to 1860) I really had to think things out and figure out every last bit of Presidential trivia I had in my wheelhouse. Great quiz and I'm proud to have aced it on my first try!

	gwukelic:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 07:07 GMT	21 points
	Fantastic URL! That easily deserves 5 globes by itself.

	Guinevere:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 07:34 GMT	2 points
	Fun quiz. Got 37; I get screwed up on the order of presidents between Jackson and Buchanan, and I'm hazy on the period between Grant and Cleveland (except for Garfield, who's a no-brainer, because of the duration of his term). I love US president-related trivia!

	Rachelkachel:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 08:42 GMT	0 points
	Great quiz. Bush Sr. kept throwing me off - he's the first president I was old enough to remember, and it doesn't feel like it should be that long ago.

	km9000:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 08:56 GMT	2 points
	Certainly the most nerve-racking quiz I've ever taken here.

	Bio:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 09:05 GMT	9 points
	Took me more tries than I'd like to admit. I know the presidents more or less in order, and the 'more or less' killed me on this quiz.

	tommykl:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 11:01 GMT	15 points
	Well, considering I'm only 15 and from Belgium, only missing Tyler, Jackson and Van Buren isn't that bad.

	Feags:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 12:38 GMT	3 points
	Darn you, William Henry Harrison! It took three tries before I remembered his short term before Tyler.

	tonguetied:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 13:26 GMT	1 point
	Sheesh! I know my presidents, but doing it by date it tough! Good quiz.

	cgrapes429:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 13:28 GMT	2 points
	Grover Cleveland was cheated!

	characterism:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 14:31 GMT	6 points
	Great challenge. The president song from the Animaniacs really helped me out here!

	Saints09:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 16:14 GMT	6 points
	I like the URL

	emjaylambert:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 17:12 GMT	2 points
	I'm British. This was impossible. Mind you, a similar one on PMs would also be impossible. We just don't learn these things like you guys do I guess.

	Thank You Animaniacs!
