	I tried Khan for the last one. Someone please help me.

	Really good quiz. The one question I had was regarding the "sir" in front of Parry. I tried Admiral, as that's how I've usually heard him referred to, and when that didn't work, I assumed he must have had another first name that I didn't know about. Would it be possible to have that as an additional answer?

	thomasdim95:	Sep 22nd, 2012 at 17:17 GMT		-1 points
	If it is possible, I think "Bronte" (without the diacritics) should be made an acceptable answer.

	The only reason I remembered Pike was because of Peabody and Sherman

	Firstly thanks to Sporcle for publishing this quiz! To address the above concerns: There are several key notes regarding this game's construction which are in the "archived comments" section above. Please read them through for clarifications; thanks. Given that the alphabetical arrangements are integral to this quiz, the answer to Jeffhabfan's question is explained therein in my comment of December 10 @thomasdim95: "Bronte" already IS accepted as an answer. If you type that in, it is accepted, even though Brontë appears.

	A completely frustrating and excellent quiz.

	I'm still annoyed at myself for some that I missed, especially since with the quiz being alphabetical I had the ones above and below, but I'm pleased that I spelled Tchaikovsky correctly with only two attempts.

	Apparently only a handful of quiz takers are privy to basic Canadian history. It's sad that that's the least guessed answer. As a citizen of the USA, I am highly disappointed considering most Canadians would be able to name our first president.

	Nowadays if someone named Johnny goes around spreading his seed it has a completely different meaning. Excellent quiz pausebutton!

	Is there anyone who can actually spell "Nietzsche"? I must have tried 30 spellings...

	Thanks for ned

	Pogues:	Sep 23rd, 2012 at 03:41 GMT		1 point
	Somehow hoey, I spelled Nietzsche correct on the first try. I had already hit the back space three times before realizing the answer took.

	I don't know why they think Shaka Khan is a chieftain, and Yogi Bear is a Cree Chief. And Franz Ferdinand has had a lot of songs, but I don't recall one called Hungarian Rhapsodies. ;) :D

	Any reason H.G. comes before Henry?

	needapausebutton:	Sep 23rd, 2012 at 23:08 GMT		2 points
	@Alchemical: It comes down to the original "theme" and "title" of this quiz, which WAS "Made a Name For Themselves - 19th Century" until it was changed to shorten it for publishing. The idea was to relate to each personality "as they were (or are) known". Therefore, although H. G. Wells' birth name was "Herbert George", he is KNOWN by the initials "H. G.", and "H." comes before "Henry" alphabetically. I probably should have put a space between the "H." and the "G." to make it clear that those are "initials" and thus meet one of the conditions of the Quiz Instructions. I will ask Sporcle administrators to do that, now that the quiz is in their hands.
