	Great quiz. Love the diversity of the questions. A little to easy at the beginning though.

	Wow, all of these were very easy until we get to the next-to-last question, at which point the answer is some Greek hero whose name I've long since forgotten. I basically typed the four names I could remember (Paris, Achilles, Agamemnon, and Odysseus), and then gave up.

	you should probably be more clear about the hydrogen and oxygen question, one hydrogen and one oxygen is OH- which is hydroxide, otherwise great quiz

	Damn it, American sports tripping me up, Hockey I assume NHL is :(

	nomuny12:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 12:26 GMT	12 points
	Technically with the "Hide the next clue" option you don't really need a "type go to start" clue. Good job!

	Took me 5 tries and then finally a calculator for that last one.

All good up until NHL question. Stupid American sports

	DRB:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 17:53 GMT	1 point
	Just being picky, you should probably change "the country above the United States" to "the country to the north of the United States", or add something like "on a regular map"

	RNCftw:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 18:36 GMT	0 points
	I love people hating on the NHL. Hockey isn't an American sport first of all, so stop blaming that. It's a Canadian sport and played by a ton of countries in Europe. Obviously it's not as widespread as soccer/futbol, but still.

	Catherine_F:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 19:03 GMT	-2 points
	Like DRB said, Canada's not really "above" the United States, it's just usually represented that way on maps. Say "north of".

	rockgolf:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 19:29 GMT	3 points
	Widen the question field to at least 50%. Almost all your questions are much bigger than the answers, so they roll off the screen.

	I hate how weak I am in literature. The author of Oliver Twist is someone I should know, and I'm ashamed that I couldn't get past that.

	taboco:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 22:58 GMT	1 point
	i actually guessed 1200 for the last one

	GeorgiaPeach:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 01:20 GMT	0 points
	I felt really smart spelling reykjavik. Thanks

	Gjarble:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 01:47 GMT	2 points
	And all this time I thought Gretzky was spelled with an "s", not a "z". I breezed through until that question. My bad... Upon replaying, the difficulty seems to go up too sharply beyond that (am I the only one who hasn't heard of Sam McGee?), but not sharply enough in the first half of the quiz. I agree about Reykjavik being out of order; I'd suggest moving it down three slots. Also, technically speaking, the additive primary colors (as used on TV and computer monitors) are red, green, and blue, so perhaps you could accept green as an alternate answer, or at least as a bonus answer. I won't even get into CMYK...

	Ibarez:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 02:48 GMT	-4 points
	Couldn't figure out how to spell Reykjavic.

	Robert_Seth:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 03:39 GMT	4 points
	I was so sure the Sam McGee one would be Annabel Lee. Oh well!

	Aaron_Kashtan:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 03:50 GMT	0 points
	There's a massive increase in difficulty between the first 21 questions and the last question. I don't know how anyone would get the last question without a calculator.

	crashintoavan:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 04:10 GMT	2 points
	I did it without a calculator... the way it's set up it makes it easier. Couple ways to do it... here's one (multiply the first equation by -0.3, then add to the other and solve for x) -0.3x - 0.3y = -0.3(1500) 0.4x + 0.3y = 0.38(1500) 0.1x = 0.08(1500) x = 0.8(1500) = 1200 or multiply the first by -3 and the second by 10 -3x - 3y = -3(1500) 4x + 3y = 3.8(1500) x = 0.8(1500) = 1200

	Robert Service woo!

	Remot:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 05:52 GMT	2 points
	for the capital of Iceland i guessed Iceland City

	Jerry_Garcia:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 21:59 GMT	7 points
	The Great One is American now, satch? I don't think our neighbors to the north would appreciate that. He was standing there as a key figure in their Olympic opening ceremonies. But hey if you wanna give him to us, then I'll take him. He was incredible.

	Moofz:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 02:10 GMT	4 points
	The last question is grade 10 math. I know how to solve it, but not in 15 seconds unfortunately. Fun quiz.

	AddiSnow:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 03:20 GMT	6 points
	It's spelled Reykjavík with an 'í' ;) Don't understand the problem. Is it just Americans complaining? I mean we aren't that far from you. Technically we're a part of North America after all.

	Chimakwa:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 16:32 GMT	2 points
	Too Canadacentric! ;) (Hey, even I got the NHL question right. I'd never heard of Robert Service until now though, so it was edumacational!)

	ZeZapatiste:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 17:07 GMT	2 points
	Everything was really fine until the NHL question... This is a good idea but I gave up as soon as I saw "NHL". RNCftw : Hockey is famous all over the world, maybe not really in the south hemisphere, but we don't necessarily know much about US league. You can ask me about the players in my national league or in the Olympic games, but I don't know a thing about NHL. Maybe the NBA would be easier for outsiders.

	i was doing fine up until the nhl question because i live in britain :)

	AWESOME!!

	kypzethdurron:	Mar 11th, 2010 at 08:19 GMT	4 points
	Seriously have to agree with the other NHL haters - whilst Hamlet is world-read, 99% of people outside of the USA would find that question impossible. It's not a rubbish sport but we have never had any coverage of it and don't stand a chance - the point is that they're easy questions for thinking fast and not questions people don't know!

	abanazerb:	Mar 11th, 2010 at 20:05 GMT	4 points
	Great idea for a quiz, but I have to agree that the hockey (is that ice hockey?) question is fine if you're North American but impossible if not. Also, apart from that one, everything is easy apart from the last three which are ridiculously hard! Great idea though!

	Pit_trout:	Mar 11th, 2010 at 20:26 GMT	8 points
	I'm a Brit and not generally a sports follower, but I'll defend the NHL question - yes, NHL is a North American league, but Wayne Gretzky is an all-time great - he's like Pele, or Usain Bolt, or Don Bradman, someone who stands out so far in a sport that he's known beyond its followers. I do agree that the last few questions get much harder very suddenly, though, after a rather easy first two-thirds - it would be nice if the gradation were more even.

	I was cruising until I had to spell the capital of Iceland.

	OilFan:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 03:16 GMT	5 points
	Maybe I'm biased here, but I don't think the NHL question was that far-fetched. I assumed most people associated Gretzky with the NHL right away, like Jordan with the NBA. I guess I was narrow-minded on that assumption.

	y2jdilemma:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 20:52 GMT	6 points
	Never heard that Northern Lights saying before. Hit that question like a brick wall.

	bigturnip:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 01:11 GMT	-1 points
	Looked like a good general knowledge quiz and then up comes a question about NHL and the non Americans among us can't even skip over it.

	markface:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 09:40 GMT	3 points
	@Pit_trout: Good point, but I'd be surprised if Don Bradman is well-known in the USA.
