A disturbingly high number of people don't seem to know that Barack Obama is still alive.

Hitchhikers guide and Traveling Wilburys - definitely not my forte. Same goes for the stages of insect metamorphosis and Greek architectural orders! And it still amazes me that Fenchurch Street is one of the UK monopoly railroads - it's hardly an 'important' station nor is it on the London Underground system!!!

Why the first names restriction for the Seinfeld characters? It seems odd not to accept Kramer, since that's the name he's almost always known by...

@swellwrench: Probably if the show hadn't basically created an episode almost exclusively dedicated to the revelation of Kramer's first name, the last name would have been enough.

@JohnJF: It might seem so, but I really think that it has to do with an almost-ingrained idea that "still living Presidents" = "former Presidents".

It seems kind of backwards to me that "b and o" is accepted for the railroad, yet "b&o" is not, despite the ampersand being the proper conjunction.

I agree with Shinobi. It's pretty strange that you are required to type in the word "and," yet it posts with the ampersand (which happens to be the way it's written on the game card).

"B & O" (with the spaces) is accepted, which is technically the way it's written on the card. However, I agree that B&O (without the spaces) should also be accepted.

Years ago, my sixth grade teacher had us learn the types of Greek columns because "some day we would need to know it." How did she know about Sporcle?

Completely blanked on the fact that New Hampshire and New Jersey exist and became convinced that that category was some sort of trick question meaning "what four states have the letters 'n' 'e' and 'w'".

For the UK Monopoly, why is 'street' needed for one and not the other? And shouldn't 'imago' be accepted for the final stage of the insect?

I'm with OwenHerring, both imago and sub-imago should be acceptable for the insect stages, as well as puparium for some Dipterans.

Poor Jeff Lynne down there with all the unknown Hitchhiker books! It did take me a while to get him though - I was sure there was a 'd' in his last name. And curse that 4th Indiana movie! There was another quiz where that tripped me up too. I can never remember the whole title.

I'm another person who didn't know about Jeff Lynne. I'd have done much worse here if I hadn't got all 5 of the H2G2 books.

I too am guilty of forgetting Lynne...I kept thinking the 5th Wilbury was Eric Clapton.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of how many answered the railroad questions using the American answers and how many used the British answers.

Why won't it accept "Cor--" for the Greek architecture unless it's capitalized?

Found one bonus in the douglas adams category, though I've only read the first book and didn't like it at all: *SPOILER* Salmon of Doubt Why's that one bonus?

Always loved Doug Adams' work, but have only read 'Mostly Harmless' once, so I forgot it. And, although I would have loved to hear Clapton in the Wilburys, he was never involved. There was talk of making Jim Keltner (the drummer) the sixth wilbury after Orbison's death.
