	"It's called Six Flags over Texas because Texas was governed by six sovereign nations. There's Texas, America, France... I don't know how France got in there..."

	I can't decide if this quiz was easier or harder than I expected. Either way, fun!

	Is there a reason why '17 can't just be called 1917? It really threw me off for a minute - "wait, they've had 10 leaders since November 17th?" Either way, decent quiz.

	Great quiz, but there were also a few other axis powers in WWII (aside from the three listed, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania also signed the Tripartite Pact).

	You need to tweak the six flags one a bit. There's a lot of common answers that it doesn't take for example I did "Republic of Texas" and "Confederate flag" and it didn't take either of those.

	Good quiz. I've often heard the lighthouse of Alexandria referred to as the "Pharos of Alexandria". It turns out Pharos is the little island on which the lighthouse stood. I'm on the fence as to whether "pharos" should be accepted. What do people think?

	Really fun quiz! And I agree, some categories were incredibly easy and some were really difficult. But I suppose that depends somewhat on where you're from. (For me Canadian provinces EASY, Texan flags IMPOSSIBLE).

	You could possibly make it where Octavian would be acceptable for Augustus since he went by both names.

	"Pharos" is often used metaphorically to mean 'source of light' in English--there's a Pharos search engine in development and a newspaper called Pharos. There was a pharos in Dover, England, during Roman rule. In Greek and many Romance languages, "Pharos" is the root word for lighthouse.

	For Russian leaders, I've always seen Andropov's first name as Yuri, not Yuriy... My other problem was with the 7 ancient wonders. I typed out "Mausoleum of Halicarnassus" in word to make sure I was spelling it correctly, but then the quiz wouldn't take it. Turns out I'd worded it differently. I thought that category was a bit too easy with it accepting the first word; guessing could easily result in "statue" or "temple." Really liked the quiz, though!

	John Hanson was president of the Continental Congress, not of the USA.

	MasterShake27:	Mar 28th, 2011 at 06:29 GMT		-1 points
	Some say just the Continental Congress, others say the US. The Articles of Confederation was the law of the land before the Constitution was signed in 1787, and Hanson was elected as the first President during that time. I had always been told that this is never mentioned because the Articles of Confederation years were a little on the experimental side and once the Constitution was signed, those years were more or less swept under the rug

	Wasn't Albania aligned with China rather than the USSR/Warsaw Pact?

	asafe:	Mar 28th, 2011 at 10:37 GMT		8 points
	@cmkeller: Albania left the Warsaw pact after the Soviet-Sino split, but they were originally in the pact

	Damn you, English spellings of Russian names!

	CheekyMunky:	Mar 28th, 2011 at 12:27 GMT		10 points
	It doesn't take "temple of artemis," presumably because "temple" alone will register. I, however, typoed "temple," went back and corrected it with "of artemis" already in the box, and was perplexed when it didn't take. The moral of the story, I suppose, is type your answers front-to-back only.

	Need to sort out what is accepted for the wonders. Typed Great Pyramid and it didn't accept, but did accept just pyramid. Good quiz just don't be lazy on inputting the answers prior to posting.

	There's just too many h's in Khrushchev. It's not fair.

	Please accept Kruschev as an alternate spelling - I've seen it that way so often, I never would have guessed it had another h in it.

	Very fun! 5 dots from me and I'm sure others!
