	James Brown had numerous nicknames, including the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, which was as common as the one included.

	I'll add that. If anyone's got any other suggestions for names that should be there, think any are too hard, or have any suggestions please tell me.

	I've changed some of the more obscure ones (answers only 1 out of 106 had got) to some of those suggestions, so the most missed is now wrong, but the quiz should be more possible.

	Hey, great quiz, good mix of genres and difficulty. One this it might be worth pointing out though, is that it's Wenceslaus I, not Wencesalus, and (thinking that was how you intended to spell it) I typed Good King Wenceslaus and got nothing. Maybe it might be worth you changing those, or being a little more flexible with the (various) spellings?

	You really oughtta allow the full nickname; for instance, typing in "Ivan the Terrible" should count. I was very confused.

	Interesting quiz, thanks. Not sure about George Washington - does anyone ever use that as a nickname?

	Varied, fun & challenging quiz--- I did miss my favorite though, Eric IV of Denmark, aka Eric Plow Tax.

	mayfan:	Apr 21st, 2010 at 06:45 GMT	1 point
	Loved it. 5 of 5, but I would add Alfred I, otherwise known as Alfred the Great, for good reason.

	MisterF:	Apr 4th, 2011 at 16:27 GMT	1 point
	Surely "Good King" should be acceptable for Wenceslaus, should it not? Unless I spelled something wrong while typing it in...

	Elizabeth I - the virgin queen. Joanna of Castile - the mad. Simon Bolivar - the liberator. Abraham Lincoln - the great emancipator. You could easily double the size of this quiz, or make a sequel.
