	Accept alternate spellings for the world capital, and Ulysses was not his forename (it was Hiram, Ulysses was actually his middle name).

	Booger:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 15:11 GMT		9 points
	Please accept Ulan Bator.

	Ulan Bator is accepted in every other quiz on Sporcle.

	USA being the fourth most guessed country is amusing.

	waits for gratuitous joke about top 2 responses being the same place

	Could you put Unicorn in to represent ungulates, or is that too unrealistic?

	The Ud (sometimes spelled Oud) is a stringed instrument used in Middle Eastern music...just a suggestion.

	dancastro:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 16:09 GMT		25 points
	@MetaphysicalMan: it's still more, considering that 91.3% know that there's a state named "Utah" but seemingly only 77.4% know to which country it belongs... and moreover there are three headings "US states", "US street suffixes" and "U.S. presidents", and even so 22.6% of the players don't think of trying United States for the countries.

	Wes_Mantooth:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 16:19 GMT		-1 points
	accept "Ulysses Grant"

	Mirrorboy:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 16:24 GMT		5 points
	Love these games, been waiting ages for a new one - yay!

	marzoz10:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 16:24 GMT		12 points
	Most everyone seems to be entering Uranus correctly. Heh heh.

	dancastro:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 16:41 GMT		2 points
	@LeftandLeaving: yes, the Arabic name of that instrument ('ud, and, with the article attached, al 'ud) gave origin to the Spanish "laúd" and is the ultimate source of the English "lute". Good point.

	Perhaps a bonus for countries no longer? Upper Volta? USSR? So fun to have another letter game. Thanks!

	Bobman1:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 17:08 GMT		3 points
	Okay, so I missed my own country, despite--as dancastro points out above--many many clues. D'oh. And I got another while typing in the instrument. Must be the decongestant I'm using (sniff).

	Bladselleri:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 17:23 GMT		18 points
	I'm glad we were not supposed to name elements!

	Hacksawz:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 17:53 GMT		19 points
	It ain't everty day that you get credit for a Pope's name when trying for a U.S. street suffix.

	WyattsTorch:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 18:40 GMT		14 points
	Pope Urban: bringin' the message to the southside boyz.

	Is there a reason why the categories of "NFL MVP" and "American Idol Winners" are followed by * (meaning "last name") but "Hogwarts Professor" isn't? It's not like there are any AmIdol winners whose first names begin with "U" nor am I familiar with any NFL MVPs whose first names begin with "U." (I will concede that some of those people may not use, or be known by, their "official" first names--Lee DeWyze, for instance, was born "Leon" and I'd be willing to bet more folks recognize "Boomer Esiason" over "Norman Julius Esiason.") Just looking for some clarification. (I did spend a few minutes trying to think if there had been any of the Hogwarts profs whose first names had started with "U" even though there was just one space--again, since the other two categories specified "last name" even I couldn't think of anyone with a "U" first name who fit the categories--but maybe there was an "alternate" answer.)

	You know you're desperate when you guess "Ugoslavia" for the last U country...

	randomly typing in Urban Dictionary was the best idea i've ever had!

	The way the world capital is spelled reminds me of how regular words look when I try to text them.

Comment below threshold: show it

	statephone:	Feb 24th, 2012 at 05:48 GMT		2 points
	I got all the U countries but one, and I was running out of time...what could it be...? Oh yeah, USA. Just in time. By the way, I'm American.

	Cleverfield:	Feb 24th, 2012 at 06:53 GMT		-2 points
	Should accept Ulysses Simpson Grant.

	WCRoentgen:	Feb 24th, 2012 at 15:18 GMT		3 points
	Just curious: Is there an official source for U.S. street suffixes?

	Upright bass (a.k.a string bass, double bass, etc.) can also work for stringed instrument.
