	Fun one. I got 27 on the first try. Can't believe I missed the Kipling story.

	It's funny how Sporcle will somehow extract the repressed memory of the name of an 80s Kate Jackson tv series out of me under the stress of a time limit.

	wtf elvis presley gives you all 30?!?

	HurriKaty:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 07:26 GMT		13 points
	Burton is right. There is a HUGE glitch where typing in Elvis Presley will give you all 30. I tried it first thing and luckily didn't look when the screen flashed green at once, so I could do it again.

	That's not a defect, it's a feature!

	Edge:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 08:04 GMT		4 points
	I LOVE quizzes like this. 24/30, but the only one I missed that I feel I should have gotten was BB King. Oh, and my fingers thank you for taking "A Connecticut Yankee" as an acceptable answer for the Twain novel.

	Edge:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 08:21 GMT		6 points
	@Dan Zambito - how would you have put Lawler into the quiz? Would the clue be "Jerry Lawler" and the answer "The King" ? Seriously? That'd be even worse than taking "Kings" as an acceptable answer for the NBA team. I suppose you could say "Memphis wrestling legend" but then the answer would have to be "Jerry 'The King' Lawler" which is different than any other sort of answer here.

	Should of had King De De De!

	RavenEleni:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 09:17 GMT		5 points
	it took me ages to get king tut, as it wouldnt accept tutunkhamon as an answer, so i started going through all th epharoahs from the dynasty to see if any had king in there name, lol

	davidr:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 10:08 GMT		4 points
	@raveneleni: It does accept `Tutankhamun'. I think your spelling is incorrect, though I realise there are often variant spellings for these things.

	davebesag:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 10:44 GMT		-1 points
	People might type in Elvis looking for a bonus answer. It should only be a bonus and its inclusion as it is totally ruins the quiz.

	Augustulus:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 11:58 GMT		3 points
	@davidr: Oh.., so that's why.. I tried Tut Ankh Amun - I've grown at customs to typing it like that as it is three seperate words in ancient Egyptian... Tut meaning "a statue", ankh being "life" and "Amun" of course the supreme god of the new kngdom. And so the name Tut Ankh Amun - or Tutankhamun if you will has the meaning of "The living statue/image of Amun". The quiz should accept Amon and Amen for Amun - most Europeans use one of those spellings - except for the Brits of course :) ... And it should be considered whether or not to allow Tutankhaten as well, as it was only after the Amarna period that he adopted Tutankhamun for his name...

	I would like to think that I know all the answers, but typing 'elvis presley and it filling all the answers in for me is a bit ott ;-) unless of course he was "Skull Island's Fictional giant ape" and an "Egyptian Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty" and a "Hamburger fast food chain" etc etc :-P

	.. Larry, Billie Jean, Kingston Trio, Dave Kingman, King of Comedy, Fisher King, The Once and Future King, Kingsley Amis

	@HurriKaty: That "Elvis Presley" fills in all the answers is not a glitch. Looking at the Javascript, it has to be deliberate, because somebody went to the trouble of making "Elvis Presley" an alternate answer to each of questions.

	'King Lear' was a swine. I went through all the historical ones, King John, King Henry V and so on, before I started trying to think of ones he made up. Great quiz.

	No short-lived Seth Green comedy, "Four Kings"?

	I'm so glad King Tut was acceptable. I could of been here all day trying to spell the long version.

	This form of quiz ('things with x in them') is my favorite by far -- hope you keep them coming!

	@Mitch, that's exactly how they should put it if they wanted to include Lawler, and I don't see how it'd be a problem if they did. How would it be any different than anything else on the list? His nickname is "the king" so it fits. That being said, there's more than likely a but ton of "kings" they missed. This is a quiz of things/names with "king" in it, not a quiz of every known "king" to man. (They also missed the LA Kings for the NHL, for instance, but who cares?)

	I'm guessing the Elvis 'bonus' feature is just a fun homage to him since today is Elvis' birthday. I say kudos to Sporcle for the nod!

	pete:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 17:56 GMT		4 points
	so pleased that the sporcle accepts "martin luther the king"

	ku_sucks:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 18:54 GMT		3 points
	excellent quiz! although i think ben kingsley was knighted, and it wouldn't work when i typed in "sir ben kingsley". other than that, awesome quiz.

	Alexandra:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 19:21 GMT		-4 points
	if you type in elvis presley... it solves / ruins the puzzle for you.

	batmann:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 20:37 GMT		2 points
	wow I forgot king kong somehow XD. Good quiz.

	davidr:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 23:46 GMT		4 points
	@pete: I hope this doesn't spoil it for you but the words `the', `and' and `a' are ignored in answers. So it also accepts `The Martin, the Luther and a King.' :-)
