	@rbradatl: This is a fine idea, but I think it would work much better without forced order; then lower the timer to accommodate that adjustment (maybe 4 minutes, and fine-tune later). [The problem with forced-order is that most players are going to have a "sense" of names to try, but it is really almost a crap-shoot as to which exact order they are in, so they have to make the same ten or twelve guesses over and over]. - napb (History editor)

	I wholeheartedly agree with needapausebutton's suggestions.

	rbradatl:	Feb 19th, 2013 at 23:40 GMT		2 points
	Great suggestion. I'll give it a try.

	Much better! Now just add a bit of colour to spruce up the presentation. You can experiment on the Style tab, and try to find a nice combination whereby everything still remains easy to read. (Just avoid red text).

	Thanks again NAPB. Have colored it up.

	I suggest adding "S", at least as a non-scored/joke answer. Both Ulysses S Grant and Harry S Truman used S (not standing for anything) as a middle initial/name.

	@rbradatl: I'd like to make the quiz an editor's pick in History, but first, could you add "Vice Presidential" and adjust the instructions: "Can you name the most common Presidential and Vice Presidential names*?" Then, also put an asterisk in front of the word "List" in your game note. The quiz looks nice now, maybe darken the 3rd column a little bit, so that the yellow text stands out just a bit more.

	@needapausebutton: Hi, NAPB. Thanks for considering this quiz. I've made the changes as above.

	^ Getting there, but look at the phrase again. You left out the word "common", the word "and", and the asterisk in front of the question mark. Can you name the most common Presidential and Vice Presidential names*?

	rbradatl:	Mar 1st, 2013 at 16:16 GMT		3 points
	OK, think I got it. Thanks for the remedial class...

	^ Well, you're a good sport to hang in there and complete the finishing touches. Trust me, we've all done the same sort of things! The quiz is now picked, and thanks! http://www.sporcle.com/games/category/history

	Its a shame that no one else has been named Spiro

	Small nitpick: 'Chester W Fairbanks' next to Warren should be 'Charles W Fairbanks'. Especially since you have the same name, correctly, next to Charles.

	rbradatl:	Mar 4th, 2013 at 17:07 GMT		1 point
	Not a nitpick at all. Thanks for catching a glaring error.

	One other Style tab suggestion: Change Number of columns from automatic to 1 Column, with a column split of 10%/10%/80%. It'll make better use of space.
