	man this was way harder than any of the other letters

	Only one thing to say about the "F" game: F YEAH!

	Shouldn't the San Francisco 49ers be included for NFL team names?

	The 49ers use the numerical spelling. This is often confusing, because, technically, they should be listed first in an alphabetical listing of NFL teams by nickname. Also, "than" 20. Pet peeve.

	I guess it's more of a specifier, but what about Freestyle Wrestling (that and Greco-Roman are the Olympic catagories). Hard quiz, man.

	bgh:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 08:50 GMT	18 points
	I think Field Hockey is also an Olympic sport. And I'm in agreement with 12harpoon05 on the 49ers

	That was much more frustrating than previous letter quizzes. I spent most of the time going through all the world capitals I knew (which definitely did not include Funafuti, Tuvalu) and the rest trying to use the entirely wrong definition of ordinal numbers ( apparently not many transitive sets start with "F").

	I got the bonus orchestra instrument filled in, which made it look like there were two slots for NFL teams. (a good way to drive me insane trying to think of the other)

	Prolly cause it was kind of confusing what it was asking for. I kept typing in five, four, fifteen, and wasn't getting anything.

	zalagreensbury:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 09:15 GMT	5 points
	I gotta be honest I haven't the slightest clue what an ordinal number is more like the definition at least. *shrug

	zalagreensbury:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 09:16 GMT	15 points
	Ok, I just googled it and I feel really dumb...

	paulvc:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 09:47 GMT	16 points
	@bgh: in the eyes of the IOC, what Americans refer to as "field hockey" is actually just "hockey." So alphabetically it starts with an "h." ("ice hockey" gets the full modifier and either starts with an "i" or also with an "h" when it's listed as "(ice) hockey")

	@ starfish - lol I tried that (obviously not expecting it to work, but still clinging to hope) because I couldn't think of anything after 'Francium'. And this one was harder...

	I've been having a Friends marathon for the past five days... how did I miss it!?

	rzkb:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 10:19 GMT	18 points
	Wow... I live in Kentucky and I totally forgot that our capital starts with F. I think I need to go to bed.

	BrettCaudill:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 10:37 GMT	8 points
	this was one hard quiz, but it was still really funafuti to take.

	juviejay:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 11:19 GMT	4 points
	There was a Pope named Fabian? Why not Elvis?

	Salmon:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 11:29 GMT	17 points
	Oh, wow, for the world capitals I specifically mentally checked the capitals of all the Nordic countries since I'm from there myself just to avoid any embarrassing mistakes. The irony? I only got Fiji and France for countries. I must be incredibly tired.

	'Ordinal Numbers' was a strange category. English is not my first language, so I didn't know what it was, so I tried Wikipedia to translate, but they sent me to a page about - what I know now - another kind of ordinal number. Kinda annoying.

	Why is `French horn' only a bonus answer? Every symphony orchestra has French horns — usually more of them than there are flutes!

	hannah:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 14:21 GMT	-4 points
	@davidr there is usually more flute but french horns are often refered to as just horns

	davidr:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 14:33 GMT	3 points
	@Onno: Rather than using Wikipedia for definitions, it's better to go to Google and search for `define: ordinal number'. That'll give you dictionary definitions from a variety of sources and, usually, at least one of them is what you're looking for.

	davidr:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 14:53 GMT	4 points
	@hannah: Good point about French horns usually just being horns but I have to disagree with you about the numbers of flutes and horns. I've been to a lot of symphony concerts and from a random sample of half a dozen programmes from my shelf, not one of the orchestra lists includes more than three flautists, but all have at least five horns.

	When it comes to this quiz, I really "F"ed up.

	@Peter Spinks: The Faroe Islands are an autonomous province of Denmark, not an independent sovereign nation.

	@ZeZapatiste: In this case, it refers to association football — American football is not an Olympic sport.

	GeordieGordie:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 15:46 GMT	2 points
	Really much tougher than I thought it would be. Why do I not see some categories until the quiz is done? I just didnt see the Fulham one, otherwise I would reached a mighty 11.

	Admit it, you at least started to type in Franklin for presidents.

	@Peter Spinks - in the middle of the sea. No-one really cares.
