	You have to put . after X/Y/=. That's the only way it works

	It would work better if you checked the box allowing single character answers.

	As I said, the Sporcle thing doesn't accept simply X,Y,or =for some reason. You have to do X., Y. or =.

	Why not just use the words "before" and "after" as answers? For events taking place in 1980 you could use "1980."
