	always love the number of people who get all of quizzes like these right, as if.

	Dinkins - aaaargh!! Not Dinkens, or Dinkers, or Dinkel.

	I'm a lifelong New Yorker, but only got those within my lifetime, plus LaGuardia.

	Well, I got the last four correct. Not bad since I live in the Midwest.

	So it seems that doing well on the NYC bridges and tunnels quiz won't actually help me on this one. Darn.

	Thank you, "Nixonland," for John Lindsay.

	Mayor Lenny should be a bonus! "I spent an hour in my room last night talking to Fiorello La Guardia, and he's been dead for forty years. Now where are the Ghostbusters?"

	debbiedoesnothin:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 22:46 GMT	3 points
	I thought there was a mayor named Fiorella. Didn't realize it was actually La Guardia's first name. Oh well.

	Dinkins would have beaten Giuliani if not for Lloyd Braun's name tag suggestion.

	No Randall Winston??

	I'll second Chicago mayors--there's enough people there who are nationally famous.

	I'm slightly mortified because I did much of the editing of Wikipedia's year-by-year article on New York City mayoral elections (as well as the specific article on the 1917 mayoral election and most of the one on Ardolph Loges Kline), and yet I still couldn't come up with two (Van Wyck and McKee). But to look on the bright side: if I only got 90% of them, then your own score should look better by comparison. :-)

	The first one has a road named after him. Other than that, I can't say there were any that I missed that I should have known, or fancied an educated guess. My knowledge (save for the airport guy) pretty much stopped at the People's Court judge.

	@Jeremy: How hard could a quiz be when all the answers are "Daley?"

	davebesag:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 14:39 GMT	1 point
	Got Koch, Bloomberg and Giuliani (I'm not convinced I spelt the latter right). The only other three I've heard of are La Guardia (because of the airport), Lindsay (because he won as the Liberal Party nominee) and Dinkins (because of A Tribe Called Quest song).

	only ever heard of guiliani

	This was a very good quiz to offer. I did quite poorly on it, because I only knew a handful, but still quite educational.
