	You forgot Albertville, France as a host city for the Olympics. It hosted the 1992 Winter Olympics.

	i haven't started the quiz yet, but awesome concept!! will you do one for every letter?? one every day for the next 26 days!

	truth in advertising:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 04:37 GMT	6 points
	Great idea for a quiz. But as Cory said above, either specify Summer Olympics or include Albertville.

	Jesse, it's a nice thought but i doubt they are going to find many things for x.

	HollywoodLeo:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 04:41 GMT	5 points
	Another quiz with Arkansas in it!

	Ian:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 04:42 GMT	7 points
	A Midsummer Night's Dream should not count, unless you include things like A Comedy of Errors.

	sevorak:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 04:46 GMT	37 points
	It's "The Comedy of Errors". "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is his only no apocryphal play that begins with the word "A".

	@Brian - Whoops!

	MovieDynamic:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 05:16 GMT	1 point
	So you are going to do one quiz for every letter of the alphabet?

	Lean:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 05:16 GMT	20 points
	Great quiz, please do more letter ones!

	fun quiz. "a"ced all of the sections except for constellations, which was a bloodbath.

	jessbowen:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 06:28 GMT	20 points
	This is the kind of quiz where you stare at the category, missing a few here and there, racking your brain, and you know as soon as the answers pop up you're going to totally kick yourself. Can't believe I missed the Astros, Algeria, As you like it. Awesome quiz!

	marpocky:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 06:41 GMT	10 points
	I got the constellation with the shortest name just by typing randomly.

	hornplayer:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 08:07 GMT	13 points
	great concept for a quiz. I like that it uses a variety of knowledge bases. I also like that each category is in alpha order (helps my brain a bit.) Kudos!

	debbiedoesnothin:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 08:52 GMT	12 points
	Fun quiz. Hard because all that info is stored in different parts of my brain. I totally blanked out on all the constellations.

	RavenEleni:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 10:25 GMT	15 points
	I love this quiz, please do more letters!!!

	Chris156:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 10:43 GMT	11 points
	Wow, is this the hardest quiz on Sporcle?! I've never heard of most of the constellations, no idea what companies are in the Dow Jones and I don't have a clue what MLB and NHL are--though I did somehow get "Oaklands Athletic" from typing "As"...?

	UEAdam:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 11:06 GMT	15 points
	What an excellent quiz. The best quizzes are definitely those that spread over many different genres; everyone can have at least a stab at one or more of the categories. Bring on B!

	tcalleen:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 12:34 GMT	4 points
	For some of the harder letters, you could include the popes. This is a great quiz, (even though it's too science-centric). @Chris: The Athletics are also called the 'A's for short.

	Emily_Howard:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 13:08 GMT	5 points
	This is an awesome quiz. More, more, more of this! I didn't do good though, got nothing in three categories and just one in three others. Still fun. @Chris: Same for me, I was trying to spell Azerbaijan, began with As... :)

	Ribhump:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 13:10 GMT	14 points
	with the inclusion of americanised answers this became very difficult for others, that said i should've known all the states. Good concept though

	Freddie:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 13:25 GMT	21 points
	You missed 'Amlet in the Shakespeare plays!

	Joe_Ball:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 13:37 GMT	27 points
	@tcalleen: Science-centric? There's a science category (chemistry), an astronomy category (which is NOT science, certainly at the level of naming constellations), an economics category, a literature category, two geography categories, two sports categories and a history category. Now, I agree that the American sports teams is a little too obscure for the rest of the world - I don't have a problem with American sports, but keep them in the sports section, please. It's reasonable to expect people around the world to know some American history and geography, for instance, and we share a lot of pop culture, but domestic sports are too obscure to start mixing them into the more general quizzes.

	gene:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 13:37 GMT	9 points
	Great quiz! Here's another plea for more of the same!

	emilkr:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 13:43 GMT	5 points
	@Joe Ball. Thank you very much for agreeing with me on the american sports section. Of course I was able to name the u.s. states and presidents. The u.s. states section specifically states that it is about u.s. states but not Venezuelan, Indian or whatever. But to assume that 3 prestidents beginning with an "A" can only apply to u.s. presidents is very american... to say the least.

	I can't believe I fogot Athens.

	Blackcrowned:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 13:57 GMT	7 points
	Should say "U.S. Presidents" since Ahtisaari didn't go through. ;)

	gopaladins:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 14:01 GMT	18 points
	oh, adamantium's not an element? oh, i'm a loser?

	@ Joe Ball "It's reasonable to expect people around the world to know some American history and geography, for instance, and we share a lot of pop culture, but domestic sports are too obscure to start mixing them into the more general quizzes." I think you've nailed it there. Wholeheartedly agree.

	davidr:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 14:12 GMT	5 points
	Damnit! I spent ages trying to think of a fourth US President beginning with `A' because I hadn't noticed there wasn't fourth line!

	davidr:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 14:16 GMT	6 points
	Overall, I think this is a great quiz but I think these four sports teams are rather too obscure for the non-American audience. We've all heard of the Yankees and the likes but I honestly couldn't even tell you which of those four teams are baseball and which are ice hockey. The individual components of the Dow aren't the sort of thing that people outside the US think about much (I grant that two of those three companies are very well known outside the US).

	@Peter C.: No, because it's `The Winter's Tale.'

	davidr:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 16:08 GMT	6 points
	@Craig R: No. `Aries' the constellation is Latin for `ram'; Ares is the Greek god of war.
