	Couple of tough ones in there. I can't believe I got the Einstein-Palin one wrong - if they had been alive at the same time his intelligence combined with her lack there of would have made the universe unsustainable.

	Considering that Mozart was originally commissioned to be Beethoven's teacher, I should hope he wasn't dead before Beethoven's birth. Though that might make for an interesting zombie musical...

	WyattsTorch: Oh god, please don't give Hollywood any more zombie ideas.

	Wow, the Michelangelo/Shakespeare one is absolutely brutal, even if you've got a good handle one when each of them lived.

	For a quiz where you have a 50-50 shot st each question, I managed to get exactly half.

	bmo1616:	Jan 5th, 2013 at 16:08 GMT		15 points
	Did this person die (music) before this person was born (Justin Bieber)? Actually it was the same day.

	noon:	Jan 5th, 2013 at 17:20 GMT		10 points
	"Were they ever alive at the same time" would be a better way to phrase it (but flips yes/no).

	Ulkomaalainen:	Jan 5th, 2013 at 19:29 GMT		8 points
	Okay, this was probably my worst performance ever on Sporcle - not in percentages or similar, but getting 30% on a quiz where educated guesswork automatically should put you above 50%... okay, it's also bad luck on the guesses, but... hangs head in shame

	10-4 good buddy Kuroryuu, who the heck is Rebecca Black? Otherwise a fun little quizz

	mrmanheim:	Jan 6th, 2013 at 15:18 GMT		2 points
	never heard of Rebecca Black either. Anyhow, quiz was fun, but I struggled with getting the question right. about 1/2 dozen times in my head Im doing the math and saying to my self, "Yes" but I thinkit was "yes" to the wrong question (born first). Oh well....

	Trick question: Shakespeare didn't exist.

	PurppuraSuihku:	Jan 8th, 2013 at 03:22 GMT		3 points
	This format is OK but I was left wondering why add a question with both the guys dying or being born in the same year. I happened to actually know that Michelangelo died in the same year that Shakespeare was born and still got it wrong! There should be some room left in between the dates so that the player can do some thinking and not resort to guessing when he knows the both years asked.

	Mozart died in December of 1791, not January.

	I missed all the ones I really thought about.
