Too much time! Consider cutting off at least 5 minutes. It's very easy simply to type in every year from 1950-2050 in order to get most the answers. Same goes for the rest. Interesting quiz though!

Although anyone who knows the current population of the world would recognize this, you should include the fact that some of these dates are in the future and therefore, speculative.
