	Typing in "Kissinger" or "Henry Kissinger" doesn't trigger a correct answer -- is this a commentary? :) Seriously, that should be fixed.

	Mr_T:	Sep 25th, 2008 at 12:18 GMT		5 points
	You have to type in "Martin Luther King, Jr" entirely, including the "Jr?" Come on. "King" should be enough. And "Kissinger" should be enough, too. CERTAINLY "Henry Kissinger." What the?!

	thejazzkickazz:	Sep 25th, 2008 at 12:37 GMT		7 points
	It's no commentary on Kissinger. It's just misspelled. You get credit for 'Kissenger', but not 'Kissinger'. Please fix? Also, I tried to enter 'Le' for Le Duc Tho and it didn't work. Could we have the 'Le' option without the diactric mark? 'Le' would be the surname in this case, since he's from Vietnam. Same thing for Kim Dae-Jung. His surname is 'Kim' and thus that should be acceptable. Otherwise, thanks for the great quiz!

	Sorry about the Kissinger misspelling, it has been fixed. Also added some alternates for the others mentioned as well.

	gopaladins:	Sep 25th, 2008 at 17:34 GMT		1 point
	i'm ashamed that i could only name 6 of these.

	er1c:	Sep 25th, 2008 at 20:39 GMT		4 points
	Why isn't Arias acceptable for Oscar Arias Sanchez? In Spanish Arias would be the primary last name, and it is the name he is known by.

	International Atomic Energy Agency should work as an answer...

	RandallPinkston:	Oct 7th, 2008 at 04:48 GMT		2 points
	I agree with the last poster--IAEA seems to work, but International Atomic Energy Agency should work as well. I also don't think that "International" should trigger "Amnesty International", and I agree with the previous poster that Kim should work for Kim Dae-Jung.

	davidr:	Oct 8th, 2008 at 12:57 GMT		6 points
	Quizzes on the other Nobel prizes would be good, too. Since the science prizes are often awarded to more than one person, I suggest that each winner should count as a separate answer.

	cls121389:	Oct 14th, 2008 at 14:42 GMT		3 points
	C'mon Admin - need to change it so that "International Atomic Energy Agency" work. Also it makes no sense that the word "International" works for "Amnesty International" - please change these, at least, if not Arias Sanchez and Kim Dae-Jung

	If I had only remembered how to spell Yunnus's last name and what Borlaug's last name actually was.

	Funny how Obama is the least gotten choice, because he was just added to the list...I bet that will change soon.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 17:15 GMT		4 points
	Yeah, it would be nice if on quizzes such as this which get updated, the % of people correctly getting the new answers was just based on people who have taken the quiz since the new answer was added, not all time. I have no idea how hard that is to program though.

	Jordan117:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 18:04 GMT		1 point
	IMHO, the % correct chart should be reset whenever a quiz is updated. It would get recalibrated quickly since updated quizzes are usually featured on the top bar of the front page.

	we have some scary persons on this list... kissinger, arafat, peres, rabin

	Can Doctors Without Borders work for Médecins Sans Frontières?

	Go_Phils:	Oct 10th, 2009 at 01:33 GMT		4 points
	"Kim" (family name) and not "Dae-jung" (given name) should be accepted for Kim Dae-jung. Also, "Unted Kingdom" in 1998?

	orbit:	Oct 10th, 2009 at 19:58 GMT		4 points
	@SporcleAdmin, Kim, doctors without borders, and UN Peacekeepers (and variants) should be accepted.

	"Congratulations you just won an Oscar!" "But I didn't make a movie" "No, it's for the movie you're going to make!"

	Spelling KILLED me on this one.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Why does this quiz not include the ones before 1957?

	transitfan:	Feb 11th, 2010 at 20:26 GMT		4 points
	You should refer to the country of Myanmar as Burma, especially in a historical context.

	HarrisonBergeron:	Oct 8th, 2010 at 21:44 GMT		3 points
	Now you've got to add 2010...

	plebejus:	Nov 2nd, 2010 at 16:55 GMT		1 point
	When I ran the quiz, for some reason the clock never started ticking. As the 'give up' option also never came up I didn't get to see the answers for the ones I missed (i.e. about 2/3 of them!)

	hscer:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 19:24 GMT		1 point
	Yes, please add 2010 - Liu Xiaobo - China (PRC)

	too bad 'some chinese guy' didn't work...

	troutmasters:	Oct 13th, 2011 at 03:14 GMT		2 points
	I typed Williams and got credit for Betty Williams, but not Jody Williams. Also please add this year's winners. Also, shouldn't mother Teresa be listed as Albania?

	Ooh Ban Ki Moon gave me both 'Ban International Land Mines' and 'Bank' - awesome!

	Hume isn't accepted but Trimble is for some reason.

	Where is Mairead Maguire?

	pator:	Feb 12th, 2013 at 12:21 GMT		1 point
	A great shame more people aren't getting Norman Borlaug. He quite possibly saved more lives than any other person in human history.

	BadHorse:	Feb 17th, 2013 at 06:06 GMT		1 point
	Could you accept Doctors Without Borders as well as Pugwash?
