	@Ben: John Hancock is famous for having the largest signature on the Declaration; he signed first and significantly larger than the other signers.

	that devolved into guessing common surnames very quickly

	So that's where the expression 'I need your John Hancock' comes from. I guess he really wanted to be remembered for something.

	Abraham Clark signed it as "Abra Clark". The quiz should accept that.

	I'm just wondering, how is John Hancock bigger than the others? Cause I want to do a similar trick for one of my quizzes.

	nice for Hancock... wish I could think of stuff like that "He wanted to make sure King George in London could read it without his glasses" Classic

	As with the UK prime ministers quiz, this quiz vindicated my 9-year old self for having no friends.

	I wonder to what extent a(n American) person's knowledge of the signers depends on where they grew up/have lived? I mean, I know I only got John Witherspoon because a ton of things were named after him in my former hometown.
