You really need to accept "Kofi Annan" if you're going to accept "Annan."

I got four and I'm giving myself an extra half point since I knew the fifth Secretary General's name but couldn't work out how to spell it.

Dear Dag H., thanks for having such a b!tch of a last name to spell. You ruined my otherwise perfect score on this quiz. Cheers, anyway, for all you did for peace and all. (But still!)

Thanks for the quiz! Might you consider adding Gladwyn Jebb, who served as acting Secretary-General for about four months from 1945 to 1946?

The information from this quiz was taken from the UN website. Even though Jebb was acting Secretary-General, the UN does not list him.

Well then, wouldn't Gladwyn Jebb make a nice bonus answer? :-)

The shortcuts for Ban Ki-Moon (Ban, or Ki-Moon) ruin it for me every time. All you need is one part of his name, even if you're trying to get all full names, and it just pops up... Oh, and what should be the easiest name of them all (Kurt Waldheim) messes me up every time... Stupid normal names...

Spelling was murder here - I burned up all of my time trying to spell two people's names, and never did get them correct :(
