	I decided to try something new here. Let me know what you think about the idea and the time. Obviously, its not that hard to copy and paste, but I hope that you actually try it on your own.

	AdamBishop:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 20:38 GMT	4 points
	Interesting idea.

	jcpout:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 20:56 GMT	7 points
	please consider adding some abbreviations...korean instead of korean war, romantic instead of romantic era, etc. nice quiz

	JeroAdmi:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 21:14 GMT	-2 points
	I love the idea. There's no time for people to guess all the answers, that's the most important.

	steeltown:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 23:47 GMT	-2 points
	I love the idea, but agree that the execution could be fine-tuned. It's irritating that Kennedy is accepted for John F. Kennedy, but King is not for MLK Jr. Is it because you also have Henri III, King of France? Also the abbreviations suggested by jcpout.

	Laura :	Mar 15th, 2010 at 04:51 GMT	2 points
	Great idea! I really enjoyed it. Yes, I am sure people will find ways to cheat, but whats new. Keep up the good work.

Comment below threshold: show it

	micah:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 05:28 GMT	1 point
	I like the idea. "Mesopotamia" isn't an era, though...

	adamnvillani:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 05:49 GMT	-3 points
	What's going on with "Old Kingdom?" I typed it in just like that a zillion times but it didn't take.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Gumpster:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 07:15 GMT	3 points
	i like, but i second the comments on abbreviations and alternate answers. they either need to all only accept exactly what is given (i'm not in favor of this option), or they all need a bit of variation accepted. specifically, the wars. korea vs korean, crusade vs first crusade, stuff like that

	chaosof99:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 11:23 GMT	8 points
	I like it but the time is too short IMHO

	LinuxLinus:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 16:22 GMT	21 points
	Fun idea, but you need to explain how it works. I was going through trying to number all the answers and couldn't figure it out.

	godpaul25:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 16:50 GMT	6 points
	AHHHHHH! Missed last one by a second! Very sweet idea. Please accept LBJ, Info, and just Henri.

	Anonymous42:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 16:57 GMT	8 points
	It took me a while to figure out what you wanted, but once I did it didn't take me that long. Since many people seem to be getting them all right, maybe you should shorten the time some.

	sbelkoski:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 17:33 GMT	6 points
	I love the idea, but I was definitely confused about what your were looking for at first. Maybe make the title "Can you list the following historical events in chronological order?"

	rockgolf:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 17:39 GMT	9 points
	Brilliant! You're coming up with so many great ideas that soon Movie Dynamic will be pissed at you too.

	nomuny12:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 18:11 GMT	8 points
	Just when all original ideas get exhausted, somebody comes up with something new. Great job! Imagine if Sporcle REALLY gave us more quiz creating power. (ie: more than 200 answers, ability to count mistakes, etc.)

	GeoExpert:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 18:35 GMT	3 points
	Please, please make a note on how we are supposed to do this. I got 0 answers because I was typing in numbers. For example, next to the War in Afghanistan hint, I was typing in "10" over and over, instead of typing "Trojan War." And I was typing "1" where it said John Adams and etc.

	Stewart:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 21:02 GMT	6 points
	I fell into the same trap as GeoExpert and LinuxLinus.

	DonnyB:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 22:08 GMT	7 points
	Might want to specify the US war in Afghanistan. The Soviet Union's war there began in 1979, which would put it before the Iran-Iraq war on the list.

	GeoExpert:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 23:05 GMT	-4 points
	I rated this quiz a 2, and I won't change it until you explain how this quiz works so people like me, Linux, or Stewart won't be messed up.

	thevelocirapper:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 23:19 GMT	4 points
	i thought it was a great idea, and well executed. I did try to type numbers at first, but quickly realized i was supposed to actually type the answer. Also, i got really concerned when i started the assassinations section and saw Franz Ferdinand, then i realized you meant the WWI archduke, not the musician.

	betraisefold:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 00:16 GMT	5 points
	I love both the creativity and the quiz itself, although I was also confused at the beginning. Well done.

	bsd987:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 00:21 GMT	-1 points
	Should be called European Dark Age and European Feudalism to separate it from others of the same. Also, European Feudalism didn't technically end until 2008.

	enough:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 02:22 GMT	5 points
	Sorry for the confusion, hopefully everything makes sense now.

	RAA:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 02:31 GMT	3 points
	nominated! good job on this one

	taboco:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 02:43 GMT	-2 points
	you replaced feudalism with napoleonic age. and i dont think archimedes was assassinated

	PublicEnemy:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 03:06 GMT	4 points
	took me a minute to understand the format, but after than good quiz.

	Golden:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 03:53 GMT	0 points
	Really enjoyable quiz! My only complaint, and its hardly fair, is that I find picking between 10 events is a little easy, and would prefer 15-20 historical events in each category (for the next one, eh ;P)

	hannielou:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 13:22 GMT	6 points
	"Dark Age" is an old-fashioned and unfair term to apply to late antiquity/early middle ages. Most medievalists don't use it anymore. (Sorry, just one of my pet peeves!)

	cocky:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 15:33 GMT	3 points
	I think it coiuld use a bit more time. With four minutes, that gives you an average of six seconds per answer. That doesn't leave much time when you have to digest the whole list and find what you need to type and also allow for typos and slow typers.

	xfanatic50:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 16:19 GMT	2 points
	Not enough time. I would have gotten them all correct, had the time not run out on me. Otherwise, great!

	LTH:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 03:40 GMT	6 points
	@enough, great first history quiz! I don't know where you get all your good ideas but keep 'em coming!

	johnlk:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 13:09 GMT	4 points
	1850-1920 seems like an odd dating for the romantic period - even in music it had started before 1850, and in most fields it had closed long, long before 1920.

	johnlk:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 13:11 GMT	1 point
	Archimedes was murdered by soldiers sent to arrest him, not assassinated.

	Pit_trout:	Mar 21st, 2010 at 23:52 GMT	2 points
	As others have said, "war in Afghanistan" should be more specific! The poor country has seen a lot over the years — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Afghanistan is a disambiguation page with 12 links, dating between 637 and the present :-(

	y2jdilemma:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 14:36 GMT	4 points
	Great idea. Time is perfect, ran out of it with 2 time periods to go.

	kittens:	Mar 25th, 2010 at 20:31 GMT	4 points
	i like this quiz!!

	klempererfamily:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 09:06 GMT	0 points
	Great Quiz, could have another minute.
