	Good quiz, with only one quibble: I'm Canadian and I spell it "sulphur" in the British tradition.

	Eliot:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 04:30 GMT	13 points
	is a rook in chess sometimes called a CASTLE? (if not, then no harm done; but if so, it belongs on the quiz)

	MRL:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 04:33 GMT	7 points
	@Eliot: Yes, it sometimes is. Though it's not as common as calling it a rook.

	@Detektor: I'm American and I spelled it the same. I'm a confused person.

	Pisces is not in the correct place for alphabetical order, which it appears the quiz is supposed to be in.

	@theincreiblehuck: six letters, dude

	livfred:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 04:53 GMT	11 points
	@theincreiblehuck: But those elements don't have 6-letter names.

	I'm just stupid, sorry

	@ theincredible hulk- i voted down your first comment. then i saw your second one, which i voted up. good save. also- clearly the "most missed" shows how few people know about movies (including myself- i missed all of them with my best guess being "titanic" until i realized titanic has 7 letters.)

	Great quiz! Don't really care about my score, but wish I had more time to try to come up with more answers from my aging brain... too bad the time runs out before I'm ready for the fun to end!

	Not enough time.

	Seven got greedy since I last heard the joke. Healthy appetite, going after 10 as well.

	Chromatos:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 11:21 GMT	11 points
	@detektor, officially the element is spelt with an f, originally the US spelling. It was supposed to be a trade-off for spelling Aluminium the correct British way, but that never seemed to catch on in America either.

	owenjam:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 12:13 GMT	9 points
	be sure to watch the Academy Awards soon because you'll probably have to add "Avatar" to your list of movies (unfortunately)

	dudemanbearpig:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 13:15 GMT	3 points
	I watched Ben Hur last night and didn't get it, dang it.

	Penny:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 13:19 GMT	10 points
	The mind is a strange thing. I repeatedly rejected France in my mind, thinking it only had 5 letters. I also rejected Alaska, on a gut feeling it had more. Must have something to do with the number of syllables. I didn't bother to count letters in either case, because I was "sure." Doh.

	nikkiesheepie:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 14:43 GMT	2 points
	Sulfur is a bit dodgy. Us english spell it SulPHur making it seven letters. Other then that I think I just had a mind blank and like penny kept dismissing France...

	BCSwede:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 15:15 GMT	3 points
	I always find the movie element in these quizzes makes them a bit too hard. It's easy enought to get the brain to recall all of the presidents or zodiac signs, etc., because there are a finite number of them; but to try to recall every best picture winner (not to mention recalling which ones have six letter names) is way too hard. I know there are a finite number of best picture winners too, but there are millions and millions of movies to cloud the brain. Just my two cents. Fun quiz.

	Distiller:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 15:35 GMT	1 point
	Yeah, France nearly escaped me too.

	saxofonia:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 15:38 GMT	21 points
	Don't ask what I was thinking, but for chess pieces, I tried the answer "queeen."

	rockgolf:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 16:00 GMT	7 points
	@dudemanbearpig: I watched Ben-Hur last night and didn't get it either. Somebody finally explained it to me that the guy whose face you don't see? The one who keeps helping out Ben-Hur? It's Jesus! I guess that should have been pretty darn obvious in retrospect. Whew! Glad I could straighten that out for you. ;-)

	One of the best quizzes I've taken on Sporcle recently. Well done!

	Very nicely done! Including the movies does, as BCSwede pointed out, make it much harder--but in a GOOD way.

	Moldemort:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 19:58 GMT	-4 points
	Managed to fill all the columns except NFL teams and movies but could you put a * next to the sulfur one because we Brits spell it differently and I couldn't work it out for ages.

	CHEESE should be a bonus answer. In fact, cheese should always be a bonus answer. Note: if you vote this down, that's 8 negative comments in a row (and I apologise)

	drn211:	Mar 1st, 2010 at 22:20 GMT	-1 points
	castle is a bonus under chess pieces

	33/59, was kicking myself after for not knowing some of the answers. Also, it would help if I could spell "Gandhi" right (I kept trying Ghandi!). Great quiz!
