	Excellent quiz - not sure about the badly drawn bit tho - these are masterpieces compared to my drawing skills!

	Sapphira:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 17:17 GMT	14 points
	You should accept Moai for number 10, since that is the real name of the statues. Easter Island is just where they are.

	carbon_rod:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 17:20 GMT	8 points
	For 17, perhaps just accept St Peter's or Saint Peter's.

	lt2009:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 17:32 GMT	3 points
	Sapphira, Moai is the official answer already!

	ahh:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 18:36 GMT	0 points
	Ayers rock looks more like a big gray rainy cloud! I still got it though, it's not too hard to tell what it actually is

	ahh:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 18:38 GMT	19 points
	Abraham Lincoln looks rather cheerful

	Sapphira:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 21:00 GMT	1 point
	Is it? I put Moai and it didn't accept it till I typed Easter Island. Must have been Sporcle going haywire on me.

	nickisposh:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 21:32 GMT	2 points
	Nice quiz, but it's fallen into the usual trap of calling Q.12 "Big Ben". It is infact the Westminster Clock Tower. Big Ben is one of the bells that is inside the tower.

	CJ_Threepwood:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 09:46 GMT	15 points
	You should probably use the official name 'Uluru' as the correct answer for 16. Usage of Ayer's Rock is frowned upon in Australia. Still accept it as correct, of course.

	kzav:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 08:41 GMT	10 points
	I wish I could draw that badly!! If I ever was to make a similar quiz, Ayer's rock and the Statue of Liberty would look very similar, I can assure you of that!

	could accept previous names for the burj as it seems to change every other year - i.e. burj dubai, burj khalifa and now burj al arab

	Tobsodan:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 12:06 GMT	7 points
	@cscholes: the burj khalifa (prior to inauguration burj dubai) is a different building. It is the tallest structure in the world and has a completely different shape. Here pictured is the Burj al Arab, a hotel shaped like a ships sail. As far as I know this has never had a different name.

	tm83:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 12:44 GMT	6 points
	yup, burj dubai was the previous name of burj khalifa (they renamed it after the emir of abu dhabi when it opened cos he lent them the cash to finish it...). burj al arab has always been burj al arab

	HER:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 13:24 GMT	-3 points
	Hmm...I thought the Burj al Arab was the Intercontinental in Yokohama...also sail shaped. I guess the Intercontinental doesn't have that bit sticking up like a mast. Would you consider accepting it as a bonus though? It IS reasonably famous.

	SomeoneRandom:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 14:52 GMT	5 points
	Can you please accept just St. Peter's? Besides that, excellent game.

	Chandelier:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 14:58 GMT	4 points
	I know the picture is of the clock tower but maybe accept the Houses of Parliament/ Palace of Westminster for Big Ben since Big Ben is the bell and you can't see it in the picture.

	Norwegian_dude:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 15:49 GMT	13 points
	Excellent quiz. I love the drawings, and especially Machu Picchu! Only one little thing, on drawing number 22 I think you should accept Horseshoe Bend. I'm not sure if it's necessary to do anything with it, but as an additional note the Horseshoe Bend is actually in Glen Canyon, not Grand Canyon.

	Juvo415:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 15:50 GMT	10 points
	It's not clear to me why this needs to be answered in order. For #20 I first wrote Cristo Redentor, so only other minor thing is that I'd add alternate answers in native language, like Tour Eiffel. Otherwise, I enjoyed this very much.

	ajf:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 19:33 GMT	8 points
	+1 on Norwegian_dude's comment. Horseshoe Bend is the name of this location, and it is definitely not a part of the Grand Canyon, not by geology, geographic convention or common usage. Good quiz though!

Comment below threshold: show it

	save_ferris15:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 21:29 GMT	1 point
	Nice job on Angkor Wat!

	purplebackpack89:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 22:42 GMT	26 points
	anybody think the CN Tower was the Space Needle?

	msteele13:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 00:05 GMT	2 points
	classic entering the little mermaid as a joke and getting it right. i had no idea that was a real landmark! nice quiz!

	Caedus:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 01:41 GMT	2 points
	Jesus looks so happy!

	Ashgabat:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 02:14 GMT	1 point
	I agree about the CN Tower. Also, the "Grand Canyon" picture is actually of the Horseshoe Bend, north of the Grand Canyon.

	itsacon:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 02:20 GMT	0 points
	Tried putting in Rapa Nui for No. 10. Tried putting Long Wall for No. 9. I have a problem with No. 14 because it could be almost any Mayan city. For instance, I tried Tikal. I mean, it's a Mayan pyramid, as opposed to No. 2, which is an Egyptian pyramid. (I don't remember what I put for that.) But No. 2 could be almost any pyramid in Egypt, except Djoser's, and in fact looks more like Snofru's pyramid than the Giza pyramids.

	Maccu Piccu? No... Maccu Pichu?? No... Machu Piccu? ARGH!! Felt like an idiot when I saw the answer

	Geo1:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 12:40 GMT	4 points
	Can you accept La Sagrada Familia? Or how about just the leaning tower. It's sort of the most known leaning one around.

	Ulkomaalainen:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 15:03 GMT	3 points
	As for No 25: no, it is not reasonably similar to the Yokohama Intercontinental (which is only famous as part of the area it's located in not on it's own anyway). The Burj al Arab is in itself a very iconic piece of architecture, probably even better known (as an image) than any other Burj three times its height, and is definitely distinct from the YI. And this shows even in this bad drawing. I'd argue that otherwise you should accept quite a number of Orthodox cathedrals for St.Basil's since they all look "somewhat" alike, but this is St.Basil's.

	cuendillar:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 17:01 GMT	5 points
	You should also accept Temple of Kukulkan, Chicken Pizza is just the city it's located in.

	Brizza:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 20:42 GMT	7 points
	Can you also accept Cristo Redentor please? Great quiz!

	randomquizzes:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 03:30 GMT	4 points
	This is better than I could ever draw any of those.

	adhair:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 11:45 GMT	6 points
	Ayers Rock looked like a raincloud to me, so I tried "Seattle."

	revinthehead:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 14:24 GMT	10 points
	Haha, too bad "that Jesus statue in Rio" didn't work for #20; I couldn't think of the official name ;)

	Aaron_Kashtan:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 16:55 GMT	4 points
	I agree that Rapa Nui should be accepted for #10.

	PurppuraSuihku:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 17:52 GMT	2 points
	Can't you just accept "Mermaid" or "Saint Peter's". I hate trying to guess which ortographic form is accepted and which isn't... anyways, have a nice Xmas y'all.

	koopa08:	Dec 24th, 2011 at 14:56 GMT	1 point
	Just like the faces, these are very well drawn. If I could doodle like this I'd be happy.

	pndchoc:	Dec 24th, 2011 at 16:28 GMT	1 point
	For some reason the quiz wouldn't show me numbers 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25...3 of which I would have gotten. Like this quiz other than that

	flyingmuskrat267:	Dec 25th, 2011 at 03:33 GMT	2 points
	I think you should accept "horseshoe bend" for the grand canyon one. haha somehow I remembered that and not where horseshoe bend was

	flyingmuskrat267:	Dec 25th, 2011 at 03:35 GMT	2 points
	wait I don't think that's even in grand canyon...isn't that glen canyon? or am I confusing myself?
