	You should accept 'fourth' for iv

	Nice quiz with a few curveballs you don't see in most of the 'serious' lit quizzes. The inclusion of 'Habits' made me smile, although perhaps to call it literature would be a stretch. :-)

	really liked the non-whole # use of ".5" for half and "3.14...." for pi. although, i dont think this quiz would have worked if you had written out all the digits of pi!

	@dje - Who know's if it would work or not. The guy who's writing the quiz with all the digits is still typing....

	The Five People You Meet in Heaven is one of the best books I've ever read.

	jefe is voted down for saying he likes a certain book? WTF? I guess you can vote me down too since 100 Years of Solitude was one of the best books I've ever read.

	I think you could probably lose the authors. Have them come up when you get it right instead. It's just a bit too easy (I thought, and I haven't even read a lot of these books) because the books are often one of the most famous works of the author. Or in the even of the Rowling, it's very easy to pick what book it will be based off the number. Otherwise, lovely and clever quiz!

	With the Pirandello one all I could think of was Six Characters in Search of an Exit, the classic Twilight Zone episode

	Great quiz! I agree the 3.14 for pi was original. However, I was confused with the capitalization of "U" in "20000LUtS" and the "O" in "1FOtCN." I always thought prepositions, no matter how long, were lowercase in titles. With some research, the conventional Chicago Manuel Style dictates this; whereas, the NIVA stye(which I've never heard of) says to capitalize only prepositions that contain 5 or more letters. Therefore, the "U" is still fine under the NIVA rules, but the "O" should still be lowercase to avoid confusion. Just a thought. Great quiz!

	I'm amazed that I actually have heard of most of these.

	Thanks for all the feedback! This is my first published quiz!

	Why use 0.5 when ½ is available (alt-171)?

	gr8kid611:	Jun 23rd, 2010 at 13:43 GMT		3 points
	could not for the life of me figure out how to spell "cuckoo" or "fahrenheit" til it was over. other than that, loved it!

	I am reading Catch 22 at the moment and didn't get it. That takes pure skills.

	I spelled Fahrenheit! I usually miss that one on all literature quizzes. [Does a happy dance]

	This was a lot of fun, especially the 0.5 and 3.14159. It took me a while to figure out "H 4 P 1," because I was inferring from "12th N" that all ordinals were explicitly marked, but I got there eventually.

	You really should accept "Henry the Fourth part one" written out, rather than only accepting the Henry IV, Part 1. I knew the work and was trying all sorts of variations on the title, but never would have thought to use a Roman numeral.

	It's a bit cheaty to include a business self-help book in a literature quiz, isn't it? ;) Other than that, I loved it.

	picard:	Dec 29th, 2010 at 20:05 GMT		4 points
	even though i got 13/18, the real victory here was spelling "Fahrenheit" correctly on my first try.

	Qaanol:	Dec 28th, 2012 at 06:45 GMT		1 point
	All the other clues accepted the answer when I typed the numbers out longhand. I tried "Henry four part one" and when that didn't work I tried "Henry fourth part one" and when that didn't work I figured you were either going for something else or the quiz was broken. Please fix.

	@qaanol :- henry iv works as well as henry 4. Considering iv is the word in the title it seems to make sense to me that it's that rather than the number spelled out. May just be me though. ^^;; As to the quiz: Awesome, although one of these days I will learn to spell the word Fahrenheit -_-

	Apart from the inclusion of Stephen Covey and Mitch Ablom shudder this is a fun quiz.
