	I know there are already a fair few initial quizzes out there. This one is supposed to be fairly easy, compared to the excellent series by Ben. This is very much a 'just for fun' quiz. I couldn't find any famous enough initial names for the letters I,N,Q,S,U,V,W,X,Y or Z. If you think of any, let me know and I'll add them. Enjoy!

	You misspelled Tolkien.Other than that, nice quiz.

	If you're ok about having a videogame question in there, there are several N-initialed Crash Bandicoot villains.

	@ AlexRandom: Ach! I did as well. It's fixed now, sorry about that. @ MorningBell411: I'm not opposed to including video game characters, but do you think they're well-known enough?

	Bad clue for Escher, I kept trying to think of someone who is involved with family guy that has the first initial of m

	@JoeBobs: I don't really know. In a Gaming quiz, they'd probably be high up in the results page, but I don't know how it will fare in a general one. I'd say that at least most people my age who've had a PlayStation as a kid will have played Crash Bandicoot. I've just checked Wikipedia and the first game in the series is the seventh best selling PlayStation game ever. And sometimes it's not so bad having a slightly less known answer. It expands people's knowledge. I think a good quiz should have a good balance between popular stuff and more obscure things.

	@ Strattosphere: I'm not so sure. I did think about that one before I put it in, and I thought, if you know the Family Guy reference, you'll remember the painting Stewie was talking about, and if you don't know it, you'll still be able to reason, 'who has an initial M and is associated with 'crazy stairs'. Both lead tot he same answer. However, if others think it needs changing too, I will do.

	@ MorningBell411: I've added it in, thankyou. If you can think of a more precise clue, let me know. I have played Crash Bandicoot but it was a long time ago and I don't remember it too well. The wikipedia was not very helpful, lots of info from the fictional universe of Crash but not much that would help make a useful clue!

	MorningBell411:	Apr 3rd, 2011 at 03:30 GMT	1 point
	@joebobs: Keep the clue as it is and accept N. Brio and N. Tropy as well. Or maybe reference the fact that N. Gin has a missile attached to his head, if you want to make it specific.

	joebobs:	Apr 3rd, 2011 at 10:25 GMT	1 point
	Thanks MorningBell, I added the missile part in. Thanks very much for your help! Any ideas for I,Q,S,U,V,W,X,Y or Z? I was thinking of perhaps including bands, which would allow for ZZ Top and X-Ray Specs, or perhaps X-Pac, the wrestler. There's W.B. Yeats, the poet, but I wasn't sure if he would be well-known enough, and I'd already pushed my luck with the answers for E and T. :p

	HAHA Cool Idea gave up Because I couldn't spell B.A Baracus. You've been cnyb'ed. Lateres
